McGary averaged 11.2 points and 9.6 rebounds per game last season for Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, N.H., and eventually helped lead the club to a prep school national championship.

The Indiana native, a four-star prospect, will join five-star wing Glenn Robinson III, four-star guard Nik Stauskas, three-star point guard Spike Albrecht and three-star guard Caris LeVert in Michigan's five-man recruiting class for next season.

Other notable members of the Parade squad were Michigan State signees Gary Harris and Matt Costello from Bay City Western High School.

Costello and Cadillac's John Simons, a Central Michigan recruit, were the only Michigan high school players on the list.

Also on the squad were the country's consensus top two players, Kentucky signee Nerlens Noel and UCLA pledge Shabazz Muhammad.
