While “Big Baller Brand All-American Game” sounds understandably ridiculous, the game was able to pull a handful of top 50 recruits, including former U of L targets Rocket Watts (Michigan State) and Jahmius Ramsey (Texas Tech).
Nickelberry finished his high school career with 2,904 points, making him the second-leading all-time scorer in the history of North Carolina high school basketball.
