Teague and Gilchrist will play on the East team, and Davis and Wiltjer will be West teammates.
Three players who eventually signed with UK were in the game last season - current freshmen Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb. Former UK players John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Daniel Orton were in the 2009 game.
Teague, Gilchrist, Davis and Wiltjer were all named to the McDonald's All-American boys' game last week. That game will played on March 30 in Chicago.
