Fairburn’s CeCe Dennis Signs With Auburn, Bringing One of the Nation’s Top Point Guards to the Plains

Auburn women’s basketball has landed one of the top point guard prospects in the country, as four-star guard C’India “CeCe” Dennis signed with the Tigers and will join the program for the 2027-28 season.

Dennis, a 5-foot-6 guard from Fairburn, Georgia, plays at Creekside High School and is ranked among the best prospects in the nation. 247Sports rates her as the No. 17 overall player nationally, the No. 2 point guard and the top-ranked prospect in Georgia, while she checks in at No. 31 nationally in the Rivals Industry Ranking and No. 54 by ESPN. She chose Auburn over a final group that included Georgia, Clemson, Tennessee and Florida State.

“We’re so excited about adding CeCe Dennis to our team,” head coach Larry Vickers said. “She’s such a tremendous point guard, leader and floor general. She’s the type of player that people want to play with. It’s not just her ability to shoot. The type of person she is, she’s going to fit great in with our program.”

For Dennis, the decision came down to finding a place where she could grow as both a player and a student, and Auburn’s reputation in engineering played a major role.

“Auburn felt like home,” Dennis said. “I wanted a place I could develop both on and off the court. Educationally, I want to be a software engineer. Auburn is one of the top engineering schools in the country which was a big pull. Just having that connection, feeling like home, (Auburn) felt very special.”

A dynamic playmaker who can score at all three levels, Dennis has built her reputation as one of the nation’s premier backcourt prospects on her perimeter shooting, court vision and ability to create off the dribble, and she helped lead her team to an Overtime Select championship. Throughout her career at Creekside, she has averaged 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 4.1 steals per game while shooting 50 percent from the field, and she has surpassed 1,400 career points.

Dennis now returns to the court for her senior season after a knee injury ended her 2025-26 campaign just two games in. Before she went down, she scored 73 points in those first two contests, including a 43-point performance against Sandy Creek.
