Duncanville five-star junior power forward Ron Holland and Plano John Paul II five-star sophomore small forward Liam McNeeley were among 12 players named to the USA Basketball mens under-16 national team Monday.
The team will continue training in Houston through Thursday and will compete in the FIBA Americas U16 Championship that will be played Aug. 23-29 in Xalapa, Mexico. The top four finishers will qualify for the 2022 FIBA Mens U17 World Cup.
The 6-8 Holland helped Duncanville go 29-1 and win the Class 6A state championship last season. He is rated the No. 1 player in Texas and the 13th-best recruit in the nation in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports, and he lists offers from Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Houston, Memphis and SMU.
The 6-7 McNeeley, who transferred to John Paul II from Richardson Pearce in the offseason, is rated the second-best player in Texas and the 12th-best recruit in the nation in the Class of 2024 by ESPN. He lists 10 college offers, including Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Illinois, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and TCU.
Four-star junior power forward Justin McBride, who is from Plano but attends Virginias Oak Hill Academy, was also selected for the team.
Team USAs first three games will be against Puerto Rico on Aug. 23, the Dominican Republic on Aug. 24 and Chile on Aug. 25. The USA is 31-0 in FIBA Americas U16 Championship play and has won the gold medal in all six editions of the tournament since its debut in 2009.
