Mcdonald's All American Game this Wednesday on the Score!

The Mcdonald's All American high school game will have a little more significance this year now that we have Canadians playing in the game. Tristan Thompson and Corey Joseph will get to showcase their talents to an North American audience. The game is on Wednesday March 31 on the Score sports channel. It starts at 8pm.

Looks like North Carolina could be getting back on track next year with 3 All Americans. Will the dunk off also be televised?

gudd luck to both teams and corey and tristan lets do some work.

any word on where cory gonna go?

UCONN, UNLV, Kentucky or MINNESOTA i believe

uconn, UNLV, Minnesota, Texas

x

Minnesota, Villanova, UConn and UNLV.

What would be the best situation for him? Where would he be able to start off the bat?

Texas already has Avery and a Freshman pg there already. Plus Myck coming in.Would Cory take over the pg and welcome all that competition?

UConn has Kemba Walker he will prolly stay. Is Cory good enough to take minutes away from Walker?

Ketucky might be a good fit. Wall is pretty much a lock for this years draft. Calipari gives his PG alot of freedom. But what if Bledsoe stays and takes the point.

Minnesota has Nolan and his brother Devoe. Is he willing to go there and cut his brothers minutes. Will he play over Nolan? Is Tubby going to be there next year?

Im basing this all on the assumption that Cory does not want to get limited minutes his first year. He wants to come in and contribute.

Cory is likely not looking at it from the perspective of playing time, rather long term development. If he goes to Kentucky and sat behind Bledsoe Id see no problem with that because hed be learning alot from a talented player in Bledsoe, as well as a lot from coach Calipari. Then again Cory is an All American so I dont really see him coming off the bench no matter where he goes.

tristan should of stayed out of the dunk contest. Don't know what he was thinking participating in it lol. Definately doesn't have the ups to hang with the big boys. Cj Leslie dissapointed me too. Definately didnt show off the type of hops I seen from him last summer

tristan could also be heard swearing during the dunk contest, dont think he shows quite the maturity that cory does

Solid games by both Cory and Tristan.

Two comments during the telecast!

Cory is from "Pickerington".

His father David coached Jamaal Magloire at "Eastern Commerce College".

I also remember someone saying they were from Ontario, Canada. Typical American ign---nah I won't say that! At least Cory and Tristan have opened some eyes down there!

In my opinion the boys held their own and it was even more noticeable to start the second half. The line up with Corey and Tristan brought the intensity on both ends of the floor, causing the West to take the lead and not look back. Even in the last few minutes of play when Sullinger led the East squad on a run, it was time to put CJ and TT back in the game and give the West security defensively, taking the win with a big shot by the top guard in the country Brandon Wright! Good job boys. All though you didn't stuff the stat sheets and minutes were somewhat of an issue...you were on the floor when it counted! Securing a successful McDonald's All American game victory!

i watcehd the game and altho corys shot wasnt goin down i thought his defence was very good and unlike some of the other pg he wasnt jus dashin up shots and evrytime him nd tristan went into the game the west took the lead

Playing PG is about a lot more than scoring.

I believe he had 14 which is good but the other aspects of his game(leadership, ball distribution, presence on the floor. etc.) were very strong.

Cory clearly belongs at that level (and the next!). Tristan was very good as well!

Cory had 2 pts, 2 rebs and 2 stls. Tristan had 8 pts and 5 rebs. I just checked the stats.

That sounds more in line with what I saw. It was a report on theFan that stated Cory had 14 and Tristan had 18 but that must have been an error.

I wasn't sure because I was back and forth with the Raptor game.

Regardless Cory definitely played well and Tristan was solid.

Do remember that Cory and Tristan did have to jump on a flight after the game to join their team, Findlay Prep in Indianapolis where they have been playing all week to defend their National Title at the National Prep Championships! I'm pretty sure that also had a lot to do with the time they recieved in the McDonald's game.
