2012, SG, 6-foot-5, 181 pounds
[/B]He continues to score at a rapid pace and help his team win games. Contact doesn’t phase him as he constantly attacks the basket off the bounce and often finds himself at the free throw line. He is like a freight train in transition using his strength, power and dribble to get wherever he wants. He dominates with the dribble drive, but must continue to work on his jumper and free throw shooting because he can make a living at the line. Plus, he has been begging to make point guard-type plays with the ball in his hands. He likes Kentucky, Arkaknsas, Memphis, Missouri, Baylor, Kansas, Texas, UConn, Ole Miss and Tennessee right now.
Goodwin said he plans to cut his list to 10 before the Nike Global Challenge in early August. When asked do you think 10 is still a high number Goodwin said “not when you have over 30 offers right now.”

2012, PF, 6-10, 225 pounds
[/B]It is not uncommon to see McGary on the floor or in the stands diving for loose balls. McGary is so active and plays with such a high motor that he can block a shot in the paint or on perimeter, sprint the floor and finish down the other end. He always finds a way to engage himself on every possession, while scoring inside and facing the basket. Plus, when he comes out of the game, you see him breathing hard because he gives it his all — a sight coaches like to witness. Coaches from Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, Louisville, North Carolina, Michigan and Michigan State were in attendance to watch McGary on Day 1.
