The McDonald's All-American Game brings some of the best high school basketball players from around the country together to play against each other in front of a national audience.
According to SB Nation's Sean Keeley, one of those players is a University of Texas commit from Fort Bend, Texas: center Cameron Ridley.
Ridley will be wearing No. 9 during the game, which is slated to be played in Chicago on March 28. Ridley stands at 6-foot-10 and weighs in at 230 pounds.
He is currently rated as the No. 2 recruit in the state of Texas behind fellow center Isaiah Austin. He's also the No. 2 recruit in ESPNU's Midlands recruits, again behind Austin, and he's ranked as the No. 5 center in the country. He's also ranked as the No. 8 player on ESPNU's top-100 list.

Cameron Ridley, the key player in Texas basketball's 2012 recruiting class, will not sign with the school on National Signing Day Wednesday:
From @EvanDanielscout: Since August there have been rumors going around about Cameron Ridley and the possibilities of reclassifying. Word is he is not expected to sign today. I asked his AAU coach Keith White if anything was set up for him to sign this week and he responded, "Not yet."
While it doesn't necessarily mean anything, Ridley's reluctance to sign immediately has to worry Barnes and his staff, who would have loved to focus all their attention on the class of 2013 but will now need to go back and convince their star recruit to sign.
Basketball recruiting is a cutthroat world where the whims of teenagers can determine the fates of multi-million coaches, and nothing is guaranteed until there's a signature on the dotted line.
