McDonald's All-American Game snubs: 5 girls who should have made the 2024 team

East and West rosters were revealed Tuesday for the biggest all-star high school basketball game of the year

Roster reveal day for the McDonald's All-American Games had more surprises on the boys side, but the East and West girls teams didn't come without snubs.

The girls East and West teams for the 2024 McDonald's All-American Game on April 2 were announced Tuesday, and and now we'll shine the spotlight on some players who should have made the cut.

To make SBLive Sports' list of the top 5 snubs in high school basketball's biggest all-star game of the year, players had to have been nominated for the game.

Avary Cain, Santa Maria St. Joseph (California)

6-foot-2 G, UCLA Bruins signee

Cain might have suffered from California's strength, as the Golden State had the most players named to the game with four. She's averaging 22.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.3 steals per game this season.

Katie Fiso, Garfield (Washington)

5-foot-11 G, Oregon Ducks signee

Fiso looked like a strong candidate to become the first McDonald's All-American from Washington since Hailey Van Lith in 2020. She's the reigning all-classification state girls player of the year from 2022-23 and led the Bulldogs to their third consecutive Class 3A title last March. She signed with Oregon in November.

Ava Heiden, Sherwood (Oregon)

6-foot-4 C, Iowa Hawkeyes signee

Heiden was one of our two predictions that missed for the 24-player roster. She'll be the first player from Oregon to compete for Iowa, where she'll try to help start a new era for the Hawkeyes after the graduation of Caitlin Clark.

Kiyomi McMiller, Life Center Academy (New Jersey)

5-foot-9 G, Rutgers Scarlet Knights commit

McMiller's 43-point performance over the weekend against Cardinal O'Hara wasn't enough to get her on the team. She's the highest-ranked U.S. recruit in ESPN's rankings to not make it.

Blanca Thomas, Charlotte Catholic (North Carolina)

6-foot-5 C, North Carolina Tar Heels signee

Thomas is our other missed prediction, and another post player who missed the cut. She's averaging 18.8 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots per game this season.
