On Friday, the recruiting period opened, meaning college coaches from all levels, will travel all over the country to see the next wave of talent.

The recruiting period began on September 9th and will run through November 7th.


Curtis Givens, a 6-foot-2 point guard in the class of 2024, is expected to have several college coaches at Montverde (Fla.) Academy over the next couple of weeks.

Kansas, Florida State, LSU, Virginia Tech, Mizzou, Maryland, Xavier, Arkansas, and Iowa State are all expected to be in to see the rising junior.

Currently, Curtis Givens is ranked 54th nationally in his class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 11 point guard in the country and No. 9 in the state of Florida.

On3’s evaluators are much higher on Givens, ranking him 20th nationally.

Givens on his game, what he’s looking for in a school

“I’m a scoring guard, but I take what the defense gives me,” Givens told On3 in a previous interview. “I can make my teammates better, facilitate for them. I watch a lot of Steph Curry with how he can score and shoot but still make his teammates better.”

What’s Givens looking for in a program?

“When I look at a college, I look for the best relationship with the coaches,” Givens said. “I’ll look at how much they want me and how much love the program shows me. I will go to the place that fits me best, the place that makes me a better player on the floor and a better person off the floor.”

Scouting Summary

Curtis Givens is a skilled and confident lead guard. He has smooth three-point range that extends well beyond the arc. While he will need to continue developing his explosion, he can get to his spots, off the bounce, in the half-court, and has good floor vision. Givens is a modern type guard who can score and facilitate. He should track among the top in his class. – On3’s Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst
