Four-star shooting guard Curtis Jones, the 55th-ranked player in the ESPN 100 for 2016, told ESPN on Saturday that he will play at Indiana.
The 6-foot-4 native of Highland Springs, Virginia chose the Hoosiers over Georgetown, California, and Oklahoma State.
When asked why he chose Indiana, Jones noted "the tradition of Indiana, along with Coach [Tom] Crean's plan for me to develop over time."
"The fan base is definitely one of the best in the country," Jones added.
Jones started his career at Highland Springs High before transferring to Paul VI in Richmond for the 2013-14 season, and on to Huntington Prep (West Virginia) for 2014-15.
Jones averaged 15.3 points and 3.9 assists last season, while playing both point guard and shooting guard. Indiana is also in the hunt for another Huntington Prep star, ESPN No. 8 forward Miles Bridges, who previously told ESPN he will make his decision on Oct. 3.
Indiana will lose Yogi Ferrell and Nick Zeisloft from the backcourt after next season, and Jones will be expected to help fill the void. Jones joins 6-6 in-state wing Grant Gelon in IU's 2016 class.
"Last year they played an exciting style of basketball and I feel I fit into their system where I can play either on or off the ball," Jones said.
