The 2023 McDonald's All American Game is upon us, set to take place on Tuesday, March 28 at the Toyota Center in Houston.
Every year, when the McDonald's All American Game rosters are announced, the selections are met with claims of politics and controversy. With only 24 spots available, it is inevitable that some top-ranked prospects will be skipped over.
In this year's instance, the foggy 2023 high school class didn't make the process easy on the selection committee. There are varying opinions on who the best players are in this class, as evidenced by a few different players donning a No. 1 ranking depending on your recruiting service of choice.
247 Sports and Rivals.com have dubbed USC commit Isaiah Collier as the top-ranked player in the class. ESPN has given Kentucky commit Justin Edwards the No. 1 ranking, while On3 has rewarded Colorado commit Cody Williams as the top recruit.
With that much discrepancy for the No. 1 overall ranking, you can only imagine how different the rest of the class rankings shake out.
Taking rankings across numerous sites into account, we have deferred to 247 Sports' composite list to get a general consensus on this year's McDonald's All American class. You can find where each player rankings among their peers below.
