Notes:
- I had a few different questions or theories going on in my head when I put this together, but I wanted to leave this without comment to see where CF went with this before I post my thoughts.
- I may have missed one or two, but this should all be correct.
- This list does include players who are sitting out this year - Mike Rosario, Jayvaughn Pinkson, and the Wear twins; I think it's just those four.
- This list does not include those who were ineligible as a 5th year senior, such as Will Barton and Jordan Hamilton.
- I wish I had added classes by each name; I might edit that in at some point.

It just shows you that these guys get asked to be Mickey's AA based on where they went to school. Larry Drew a Mickey's AA? He is awful

[CloneLawman]

It would be interesting to see the numbers/list for every year for the past decade.

UNC, Florida and UCLA stand out. None of those teams are ranked and have at least 4 McD's AAs. Somethings not adding up there. I watched Florida barely beat a terrible Auburn team last night. Very unimpressive.

[timappelgate]

Fizer is our only one, correct?

[Clones85']

No wonder Roy recruits so well. He must have the selection committee on speed dial. You commit to UNC and I will get you in that McDonald's All American game.

The Wear twins? Really?
Larry Drew?

Fizer is our only one, correct?

Fizer wasn't. The only McDs all american that committed to ISU was Jerome Harper, and he never made it to campus.

Really? I didn't think we ever had one that contributed. Guess I was wrong.

Yes he was

Technically, he did make it to campus. He was around for at least a semester, but never played in game as he was sitting out.

Fizer definately was

(4) Florida: Macklin, Rosario, Boynton, Young

Last nights game:

Florida 45
vs.
Auburn 40

See all those McD AA's are doing wonders for their scoring

When did Harper commit? I though there was a big fuss about him being the first McD AA to come to ISU?

IMO, there is a lot of politics that go into being a burger boy now. Things are not what they used to be in regard to getting that honor.
