On the girls side, six players have been nominated, including four from the Oklahoma City metro.
Washington’s Katelyn Crosthwait, Shawnee’s Lauren Fields, Choctaw’s Aliyah Llanusa and Edmond Santa Fe’s Keira Neal highlight the local list. Crosthwait has signed with Rice, while Fields has signed with California and Neal with North Texas. Llanusa is undecided.
Lawton Eisenhower senior Ginger Reece, an Arkansas signee, and Holland Hall star Gabby Gregory, an Oklahoma signee, are also nominated.
Final rosters will be revealed Thursday at 2 p.m. on ESPN’s The Jump and 5 p.m. on SportsCenter. The games will be played Wednesday, March 27, in Atlanta.

It only requires that a nominee be a senior "star" player in high school and in good academic standing. They receive a certificate if nominated. The student-athlete's head coach, principal or athletic director can nominate a player.
