Divine Bourrage not on the McDonalds All American Game roster

Basketball fans and followers were surprised not to find LSU signee Divine Bourrage in the McDonald All-American Game roster. While the player was nominated, she won't be seen in the game held on April 1 in Brooklyn despite her amazing performance this season.

The 5-foot-9 player has established herself as a top emerging talent. According to On3’s 2025 Industry Top Women Basketball Recruits ranking, she is at an overall No. 10, while among the shooting guards, she stands third.

Regardless of the results, Bourrage remains among the best players in the women’s high school basketball scene.
