Bronny James, Justin Edwards, and D.J. Wagner were among the 24 men's players selected to the 2023 McDonald's All-American Game on Tuesday.

Edwards and Wagner, who are both headed to Kentucky, are ESPN's Nos. 1 and 2 recruits, respectively. Wagner's father, Dajuan, participated in the event in 2001. Aaron Bradshaw and Reed Sheppard are the other two Wildcats selected for the contest.
