Southern HS Team Overview:

Committed to: High Point University
Curtis just committed to D1 High Point University in NC where he joins District Basketball Club teammate & SSSAS grad PG Denmark Slay who is in freshmen season for the Panthers. Curtis is a very powerful & athletic CG who can get downhill and light up the scoreboard from all 3 levels. He has a very high motor & likes the transition game where he finishes above the rim. In our opinion Curtis will be an impact player at High Point University & he is now ranked @ #25 in our updated 2019 rankings.
