BeeJay Anya is considering 16 schools, including Final Four members Ohio State, Kansas, Louisville.

“I’m just trying to take it one step at a time right now,” Anya said.

The 6-foot-9, 270-pound Anya is also looking at Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Rutgers, Memphis, UCLA, Arizona, Indiana, Notre Dame, Seton Hall and DePaul.

He is considered a top-20 prospect in the class of 2013.

Arizona and UNLV are out of the race to sign basketball star Shabazz Muhammad

"It's at three right now, yeah," Muhammad said. "UCLA, Kentucky and Duke. Right now, those are probably the last three before I make my decision."

Muhammad, Naismith National Player of the Year, said he liked UNLV and Kansas, but wanted to be honest with coaches who kept ringing his phone.

"I just think it was the calls," Muhammad said. "The schools that I took out, I liked them, but I wasn't really interested in going. I didn't want to lead them on. I want them to do the best they can to recruit other players and not recruit me anymore. I just thought that was the mature thing to do."

Muhammad was awarded MVP honors Wednesday in the McDonald's All-American Game, scoring 21 points to lead the West to a 106-102 victory.

"When you come to every event, you want to be known as the best player at the event," he said. "Knowing everybody's talented, this is the elite 24, top 24 guys in the country, and just coming in knowing everybody's competing, competing is a beautiful thing."

Shabazz Muhammad scored 21 points to lead the West to a 106-102 win in the 2012 McDonald's All-American game. Muhammad was named MVP.

Rasheed Sulaimon, who will attend Duke in the fall, scored 18 points for the West in a supporting effort.

Future Kentucky forward Alex Poythress led the East with 19 points. 

Isaiah Cousins, a 6-foot-4 combo guard from Mount Vernon, NY, has committed to Oklahoma.

Cousins chose the Sooners over Rhode Island, Dayton, Xavier and Virginia Tech.

He averaged 16 points as Mount Vernon's point guard as a senior last season.

Patson Siame has committed to Loyola Marymount.

Siame, a 6-foot-11 center out of Zambia, first came to the attention of scouts with his performance at the 2011 Basketball Without Borders showcase in South Africa.

"Although he still has work to do, Patson is more advanced offensively and has a better feel for the game than the usual young African big men that come to play in the States," said ESPN.com's Mike LaPlante. "He has he potential to be the biggest impact for the school's basketball program since Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble arrived on campus."

Shabazz Muhammad seems to have narrowed his college choices.

“I’m considering five but there are three that [stand out],” Muhammad announced.

UCLA, Duke, and Kentucky (in no order) have put themselves in the forefront, with Kansas and UNLV rounding out the top five.

Muhammad is expected to announce his decision on April 11 — the first day of the spring signing period which runs through May 16.

Mike Krzyzewski spent part of last week visiting 2012 prospects Tony Parker and Amile Jefferson.

Parker, a 6-foot-8, 270 pound power forward, is considering UCLA, Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Memphis and Georgia.

Jefferson, one of the top unsigned seniors, is reportedly considering Kentucky, N.C. State, Ohio State and Villanova.

The Blue Devils have only one committed prospect thus far, but Rasheed Sulaimon, a long-range shooter out of Houston, is a nice fit for their offensive system.

Shabazz Muhammad won the 2012 McDonald’s All-American slam-dunk contest with four perfect dunks over two rounds of competition.

Muhammad edged out Kentucky commit Archie Goodwin by two points to claim the title. Anthony Bennett finished third.

“Just to be mentioned with names like (2003 winner) LeBron James and guys like that is an honor,” Muhammad said. “I was going to do the behind-the-back dunk, but Archie (Goodwin) did a really good job with that. I’m glad that I was able to come away with the win.”

Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins of Canada headline the World Select Team roster for the 2012 Nike Hoop Summit.

Dario Saric and Evan Fournier return to the team, as they were on the roster in 2011.

Rounding out the team are Aleksandar Cvetkovic, Leo Westermann, Dmitry Kulagin, Michael Michalak, Marcos Delia, Wang Zhelin and Patson Siame.

Maryland signed Sam Casell Jr. to a full athletic scholarship.

Cassell, the son of former NBA point guard Sam Cassell, chose the Terps over South Florida, Connecticut and Central Florida, among others.

"The hometown school definitely won out," his AAU coach Carlton Carrington told the Baltimore Sun. "I know Sam has had an affection for the University of Maryland. He has a good relationship with Coach Bino (Ranson). I know that they had identified him in the summer time. And they have been very, very persistent. Coach (Mark) Turgeon identified him along with Bino. Once the head coach gets involved, it's hard to get away."
