John Wall?????????????

[ONEent]

John nor Jordan Hamilton were selected due to the fact that they are 5th year seniors. This is the first year the McDonalds All-American Committee decided not to allow players that reclassify to participate in the game. Look for John in this years Jordan Brand Classic game April 18th!
