With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester, and a cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb.18h, Hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention.

He helps tutor other player who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and he represents DCCC  so well whenever he goes. “Hunt graduated from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC.
