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.”
Austin Nichols, a top-10 recruit in the class of 2013, trimmed his list to six schools: Memphis, Auburn, Tennessee, Virginia, Duke, and Vanderbilt.
"I talked with my parents a few times and I guess today was the day," Nichols said. "We were a little late cutting the list, but we had to get it done and we were confident in each school."
Nichols intends to utilize his allotted five official visits on Virginia, Auburn, Tennessee, Duke and Vanderbilt after unofficially visiting Memphis last week.
Robert Hubbs said that Tennessee and Auburn stand out most in his recruitment.
“[Tennessee coach] Cuonzo Martin, he’s come to really all my games,” Hubbs said. “He’s there, he tells me he’s going to be there every game to watch me play.”
Hubbs, a 6-foot-5 guard, indicated Auburn is also making a strong push for his talents.
“Auburn’s a good school. I look forward to going up there and visiting again and just getting a feel for it,” Hubbs said.
