All 3 Providence Commits in 2015 Class Nominated to 2015 McDonald’s All American Game

Nominations were announced for the 2015 McDonald’s All American game that will be played in Chicago at the United Center on April 1, 2015. While over 450 boys across the country were nominated there will only be 24 players selected to play in the actual game. That selection will take place on ESPNU on January 28th at 6pm ET.

Drew Edwards, Ryan Fazekas and Alex Owens were all nominated which means Providence’s entire 2015 class got a nomination. It’s unlikely that any of the three will make the final roster of 24 but it’s still a nice accomplishment. One other note is that Edwards’ twin sister Danielle was also nominated. Danielle Edwards is ranked 69th nationally in the class of 2015 by ESPN and she is signed to play at Clemson this fall.

The Friars have only had 4 McDonald’s All Americans play for them and 2 of the 4 can be seen on the Providence bench this season. God Shammgod was the 3rd McDonald’s All American to play for Providence in 1995 and Kris Dunn became the 4th in 2012. The other 2 were Delray Brooks in 1984 and Michael Smith in 1990. This year’s game will be the 38th McDonald’s All American game.
