Temple's Khalif Wyatt has been named the Atlantic-10 Player of the Year.

Joining Wyatt on the All-Conference First Team are Rotnei Clarke of Butler, Dwayne Evans of Saint Louis, La Salle's Ramon Galloway and Chaz Williams of Massachusetts.

Briante Weber of VCU was named Defensive Player of the Year and Semaj Christon of Xavier won Rookie of the Year honors.

Kyle Davis verbally committed to Dayton on Sunday night.

"Their style and the way they play was definitely one of the main things I looked at," said Davis, a high-scoring guard out of Chicago Morgan Park. "They play fun, exciting basketball."

Davis visited the Dayton campus earlier this month.

"They opened their arms and had already made me feel like a part of the team before I had even committed," says Davis. "I could see the bond their coaches had, and I can now be a part of that.

"This is a great position for me to be in -- committing at this time. I am sure there are some people that will say I should have waited, that I should have taken more visits. But I really like Dayton. And I am relieved to get it out of the way.”

Terrence Samuel has a top six of Tennessee, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Dayton and Temple.

“It’s wherever I feel comfortable,” said Samuel, who led South Shore High School to the Smartball Classic title on Thursday with seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a 62-51 victory over Bayside at Abraham Lincoln Playground in Harlem. “Good graduation rate, where I’m going to play. Distance [from home] doesn’t matter. It’s whoever I like. Every school is a good opportunity. At the end of the day, it’s what fits me.”

Samuel will visit all six schools prior to making a decision on Nov. 1.

“It’s tough, but I have to go somewhere,” Samuel said. “I’m trying to go to college, play ball, achieve my goals.”
