He also had this insane over half court shot where he jumped over a guy and double pumped it.

The list is a PDF so I couldn't post the link to it. Great to see he's at least nominated. The final 24 will be announced on the 24th. I know nothing about recruiting but it's interesting that two kids from Walnut Hills are on the list of the seven guys from Ohio.

From the Xenia Athletics site:
Xenia senior guard Samari Curtis is one of 7 Ohio boys basketball players nominated for the 2019 McDonalds All American game to be played March 27th at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.* The 24 players who will be choose to play will be revealed on January 24th.* Through 12 games this season Curtis is averaging 32.6ppg,* he has broken the Xenia Boys Scoring record of 1537 points* and is closing in on 2000 career points!* Samari has signed a national letter of intent to play at The University of Cincinnati!

Thanks for posting - awesome stuff.

I'm confused on the Walnut guys though...one them is averaging 4.5 PPG and is nominated for McDonald's All American???

He plays good defense.

That's hilarious. I wonder how many deflections per game he gets??

I'm not 100% sure but I believe anybody can be nominated to be a McDonalds All American.

When I played in high school our coaches son was nominated and it actually had him listed on the website.

He received no scholarship offers to play basketball.

As soon as it is known that Samari is committed to UC and not Xavier, his nomination will be withdrawn.

After last night's game Samari Curtis hits the 2,000 point mark for his high school career. Huge accomplishment for a great kid. Can't wait to see what he can do next year for Cincinnati. How does everyone see him fitting into the lineup next year? Off the bench role player like Jarron was his first year or starter right away?

No, Curtis will not start right away. He will have to learn how to play defense with intensity. He is an offensive player, and he will see the court. Right now he plays one end of the floor with intensity.

We could use him today though seeing as we only get about 2-3 people playing that half of the floor with intensity in lots of games!

 

[cincyalum2014]

Samari will be a huge piece in the lineup next year, There will absolutely be a learning curve for him on the defensive side of the ball. With that being said I think he will be a vital part to next years lineup with talk of moving Jarron to the point (If he stays of course). If Jarron were to leave we would need Samari to step in sooner than expected.

I dont Jarron will be moved to point, I'll think he'll play point when Logan isnt in or whoever his backup will be, assuming we have one. Or late in games when the game might dictate it. Similar to how Evans was used last year.

This guy is the perfect fit for us to replace Cumberland, you need to have a guy who can score it the way he can, the more I watch his videos the more I love what I’m seeing, he’s getting doubled, teams are running a box and 1 against him, doing everything they can every night and he’s still scoring 40 pts at an efficient clip, he may be scary next year with teams all over Cumberland and leaving Samari wide open.

 

[cliftonballer]

How in the hell is Samari Curtis a 3-star recruit on most services!? What an absolute joke. No way there are 100-150 kids more talented than him in the country let alone even 50. I guess since he committed to us early now he's just average despite lighting it up every night. SMDH no respect.

 

[ThomasMac]

Samari just had his 9th, 40 point game this year! Incredible!
