Some of the top high school basketball teams in the country are heading to Somerset, N.J, for the 2024 Metro Classic.

The showcase will feature national powerhouses such as Montverde Academy, Link Academy, Long Island Lutheran and La Lumiere. All eyes will be focused on the nation's top prospect, Cooper Flagg, as he attempts to help Montverde Academy keep its perfect record intact.

But he isn't the only player worth watching — young stars such as V.J. Edgecombe (Long Island Lutheran), Ian Jackson (Our Savior Lutheran) and Tre Johnson (Link Academy) will also take the floor. There is so much talent in this tournament that it can be easy to overlook someone like Andre Iguodala Jr. (Link Academy), who is the son of former NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala.

If you want to catch some exciting action this weekend, here is everything you need to know about this year's Metro Classic, including tipoff times for each game.
