I can't ever remember any one of them looking really good in the game. it's always a guard driven game seems most of our guys have been post players. would assume Isiah looked good but that was so long ago not even sure it was televised. do any of you recall anyone of our recruits doing anything special? watch Mcneely go off, that will suck. for those who haven't seen him play Cooper Flagg is special
We have had quite a few McDonalds All Americans over the years.

I could've sworn I watched Matt Nover play in that game. But he's not listed as a McD AA. So I guess not.
The game I remember, some all star game, he did all the hustle stuff and made an impact in limited minutes but almost didn't even get mentioned because the announcers only noticed the flashy stuff. He didn't live up to my hopes after seeing that, but he was a good player.

I checked a few summaries on wikipedia. The 1994 game write up says the West's 'almost' comeback was led by Andrea Patterson.
I didn't watch it that I remember.

I don't recall Nover being that highly recruited. would take a guy like him on my team every year.
You bet.
When I said didn't live up to my hopes after seeing that, I meant by a little lol, always hoping for a star. Loved him as a Hoosier.
I don’t remember the McD AA game, but I’m glad Cody outplayed him in his two college match-ups.
Tucker just shot from Reggie Miller range from above the key, LOL. He made it... It was flat but on line so he got the bounce off the front of the rim off the glass and in.
I'm saying shooters roll lol I'm less worried.
Boogie Fland getting talked about.
McNeely also.

Loved Nover..
79 team, Isiah, Byron Scott, James Worthy Dominique Wilkins Ralph Sampson could have won some NBA titles with that class. on the bench Clark Kellogg Sam Bowie John Paxson , Sydney Green, plus several others who had long NBA careers. has to be one of the best classes ever.
Cooper Flagg made a clear foul on a shooter out past the three line. Went over and stood next to the ref whining about the call.
That boy is READY for Duke!
(He's playing good also,)

Yeah same. I saw a rebound, three, lost rebound. Since then nothing really.
Pretty sure it was Ricky Roe that you were thinking of
yeah, the whole Reid, Fife, Patterson, Miller, Herman, Collier, Recker all did well in those type games and they were that good in those environs, especially Michael Herman, man, that was a huge, missed opportunity with that guy
when did Bob Marley die? he has to have several grandkids in this game. the one kid going to UK is playing with a hair blindfold on
I think Bracey Wright was co mvp of his game? Or had 14 pts or something like this.

Hall of Famer
Remember after the Shaq game a reporter asked him about playing against Shaq. Nover said, "Did you see how he threw me across the lane?" LoL I will say this Matt Nover has aged well. Whatever he is taking we all should perhaps try it.
Matt was a McD AA high jumper in track ?!?
Great college player, ended Shaq”s college career.
Yep. 6'8" 230 long arms and good bounce when he needed to. Dude had to guard Kevin Rankin, AC Earl, Webber & Howard, KU front line his senior season. Definately hard nosed and smart. Head fake, pump fake, pass fake, up and under and he got it to work.
A lot of NBA players have trouble guarding Davis
No Eric Anderson made it but not Nover. Nover was a bit of a project coming out of hs actually and I believe redshirted his first year.
With the name, Cooper, you’re probably right. It sounds so preppie…so Dukeish.
