  As to why I was stunned, Rivals rankings are usually pretty close to what McDonalds selects. UNC and Duke usually sneak in a few outsiders (Wear Twins and Plumlee), so the youngest Plumlee maybe isnt to surprising

  Interesting stat I heard on the radio (and I think I am remembering the numbers correctly). Matta has brought in 10 McDonald's All Americans since he started at OSU. Before that OSU had brought in 7 in history.
