Each year, USA Today, an American newspaper, awards outstanding high school basketball players with a place on its male and female All-USA high school basketball teams. The newspaper names athletes whom it believes to be the best basketball players from high schools around the United States. In addition, one member of each team is named, respectively, the male or female USA Today High School Basketball Player of the Year. The newspaper names two teams, one for male athletes and one for female athletes. The newspaper has named a team every year since 1983. Each year, the newspaper also selects a USA Today High School Boys' Basketball Coach of the Year and a USA Today High School Girls' Basketball Coach of the Year.

1st team: Randy Livingston, Jerry Stackhouse, Jacque Vaughn, Rasheed Wallace, Dontonio Wingfield Ross Miller Randolph High School San Antonio, Texas. 6'7 215lbs USA Today All-State Texas Player of the Year. Averaged 21.3 points per game. 11.3 rebounds per game. 6.8 blocks per game. Led team to Texas state semifinals and 22-6 record. San Jose Mercury News Staff Writer John Akers Writer Ross Miller, the Texas basketball player of the year according to USA Today, has signed with San Jose State and is on campus,eligible to play this season. Miller, 6-foot-8 forward, led Randolph High of Universal City, Texas, last season with 21.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 6.8 blocks per game. He was an all-state player among Texas' Division 2A. "Something good really happened to us", Coach Stan Morrison said. Miller fell through the recruiting cracks, according to SJS assistant coach Stan Stewart, because of injuries during his junior and senior seasons. He underwent ankle surgery after his junior season, preventing summer camps, and injured cartilage in a knee last season during the semifinal game of the Texas state tournament. Miller didn't play in the championship game, leading some college scouts to believe the injury was serious. The knee required only arthroscopic surgery, but by then most schools had committed all their scholarships. NCAA rules have reduced scholarship limits from 15 to 13 for all its nearly 300 Division I schools. SJS had two scholarships available because freshman recruits Darrnaryl Stamps and Terence Wilborn failed to meet minimum NCAA academic requirements. Pete Miller, Ross' uncle, was a guard at SJS during the 1973-74 and 74-75 seasons.
