Virginia basketball recruit Kyle Guy is among the 24 players selected for the 2016 McDonald’s All-American Game.
Guy (Lawrence Central, Indianapolis) is the #25 recruit in the ESPN 100. The 6’2” shooting guard is averaging 24.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game this season.
Two other members of Virginia’s 2016 recruiting class, shooting guard DeAndre Hunter and point guard Ty Jerome, were nominated for the McDonald’s game, but ultimately not selected.
Guy is the first Virginia recruit to be selected for the McDonald’s game since Sylven Landesberg in 2008.
