The rosters for the 2016 McDonald’s All-American Game have been announced. The game, which tips off on March 30 at the United Center in Chicago, is loaded with star talents on both sides.

There are 24 players in the game, only four of whom have yet to commit to a college. Kentucky leads the way with four McDonald’s All-Americans, which is nothing new for the Wildcats. Kentucky’s recruiting class of 2013 set a record with six McDonald’s All-Americans.

Duke (Jayson Tatum and Frank Jackson), UCLA (Lonzo Ball and T.J. Leaf) and Michigan State are the only other schools to have multiple All-Americans. Duke commit Harry Giles -- considered by many to be the top overall player in the class -- did not make the roster because of a torn ACL that’s keeping him out of his senior season at Oak Hill.

Josh Jackson, a 6’8 wing from Michigan, might be the most coveted unsigned player at the game. Jackson, who we profiled at USA Basketball mini-camp, is considering Arizona, Kansas and Michigan State, among others.

Below you’ll find the full rosters, as well as links to individual features found on our college basketball recruiting hub.
