Four Kentucky signees, three Duke signees and two Michigan State signees highlight the list of players 21 named for the Jordan Brand Classic set for April 15 at Barclays Center.
Only one uncommitted player, Marques Bolden, made the game, while uncommitted Josh Jackson will not play in the game after initially being listed among the first 16 players. Prolific Prep co-director Phillipe Doherty told SNY.tv Thursday that Jackson never accepted an invitation to the game and could not attend because of academic and travel issues.
Meantime, Jackson, who won Co-MVP honors at the McDonald’s All-American Game, is expected to announce in the next week or two from among Arizona, Kansas and Michigan State.
St. John’s signee Shamorie Ponds of Brooklyn Thomas Jefferson is the only New York City player in the National Game.
The event also holds a National Game, a Regional Game and an International Game, but those rosters have not yet been announced.
