Arizona signee Stanley Johnson is in line to be the 20th McDonald’s All-American to play for the Wildcats following his selection to the prestigious high school all-star team Wednesday.
You can see the entire boys and girls roster at this link. Duke and Kentucky each have signed four boys All-Americans.
Johnson, a 6-foot-7 wing, also was recently selected to play for the 2014 USA Junior National Select Team.
Arizona coach Sean Miller has signed five McDonald’s All-Americans in the past three years.
This year’s game will be played April 2 at the United Center in Chicago. Arizona’s Aaron Gordon was the MVP of last season’s game.

It includes forward Craig Victor (No. 29 in the composite rankings), point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright (No. 56) and junior college guard Kadeem Allen, who is averaging 28.6 points and 5.8 assists for Hutchinson (Kan.) Junior College.
