In this story:
The rosters for the 2024 McDonald's All-American Games were released this afternoon and two of Kentucky's commitments for the class of 2024 were selected.
The Wildcats will be represented in this year's event by Jayden Quaintance and Johnuel "Boogie" Fland.
Quaintance is a 6-foot-9 center from Raleigh North Carolina who attends Word Of God Christian Academy.
According to 247Sports, Quaintance is a 5-star recruit with a 0.9971 composite rating. He is the No. 8 player nationally, the No. 2 center and the No. 1 player in the state of North Carolina.
Quaintance chose Kentucky over programs such as Alabama, Baylor and Kansas.
Flan is a 6-foot-2 combo guard from White Plains, New York who attends Archbishop Stepniac High School.
According to 247Sports, Fland is a 5-star recruit with a 0.9943 composite rating. He is the No. 17 player nationally, the No. 2 combo guard and the No. 3 player in the state of New York.
Fland chose Kentucky over programs such as Alabama, Auburn, Duke, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, North Carolina and UConn.
The 2024 McDonald's All-American game will take place on April 2 at the Toyota Center in Houston. A committee divides the 24 All-Americans into two rosters, representing the East and West.
Kentucky target Karter Knox was also named to the McDonald's All-American team. While Knox has not yet chosen where he will play his college hoops, many believe it will be in Lexington for John Calipari. If Knox does decide to play for the Wildcats, Kentucky would likely surpass Duke for the number one recruiting class.
