2020 McDonald's All-American Game canceled due to COVID-19: Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and others honored virtually

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 McDonald's All-American game, which would have featured Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and other top prospects, was canceled. 13 of the 15 prospects in the 2020 class were named to the McDonald's All-American roster for that year. All 24 players on the roster were thus honored virtually.

All 15 players have, however, gone on to play college basketball, with a few already in the WNBA. Notably, Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink and Kamilla Cardoso made it to the WNBA, while most of the others currently have stellar college careers.
