Boomers vs US College Allstar team

From the mouth (blog) of Nic Mercer:

"In closing up this blog it is unfortunately the last time I'll be writing to you all. The leadership group and the team itself decided that, even though the AOC approved Blogs, it would be a distraction from what we are trying to accomplish. While I may not be one of the players or coaching staff, the phrase one in all in is certainly appropriate in these circumstances. So I sign off with one final message.
There are only 2 Olympic sports competing in international events in Australia before the Olympics. Next week we play a 3 game series in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, then a one off game against New Zealand (and while we haven't told anyone yet, we are about to announce a one off game on the Gold Coast against a US All-Star college team in July). Building momentum leading up to the Games is a huge part of our preparation and knowing the country is behind you while you are trying to achieve your best is a feeling that is hard to describe. So if you are free on the 16th June in Perth or the 18th June in Adelaide or the 20th or 28th June in Melbourne, come out to the games and meet the fellas who are trying to bring back a medal from the Olympics."

Should be an interesting game against a "US All-Star college team in July". Wondering who would be in that team?

If the team is quality, i'll certainly consider a road(air) trip up. Hopefully it's on a weekend and not a week night.
Is it fair to assume that none of this years draft prospects will be involved?

Not a chance anon. Who would risk injury in the lead up to the draft?

Still a ton of talent that could make the trip!

That's what I was thinking. I doubt they'd have time in their schedule at the moment anyway.
