Michigan's representatives on the list of McDonald's High School Basketball All-American Nominees

It's always fun to check out the kids nominated for McDonald's All-American honors. This is the 32nd year for the boys game, while only the eighth year for the girls. Check out Michigan's selections, as well as the state's alumni. Interestingly, there are 35 guys but only one girl from the Great Lakes State to earn McDonald's All-American honors - can you name her?

Can you name the years when Michigan was represented by more than one player?

Enjoy!
