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.”

Connecticut received a verbal commitment from Kentan Facey, a highly-touted 6-foot-9 forward out of New York Long Island Lutheran.

Facey, a native of Jamaica, chose the Huskies over USC, UCLA, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Memphis, St. John’s, Providence and Rutgers.

“That was the only school I knew anything about when I came to the states,” Facey said. “I was always a UConn fan, I always liked UConn.”

Mike Young has committed to Pitt for the 2013 season, the first of the class for Jamie Dixon.

Young is a power forward who will play for St. Benedict's in New Jersey next season.

“(Dixon) wanted me really bad,” said Young, who will play the upcoming season for St. Benedict’s (N.J.) Prep, one of the nation’s top high school teams. “I was his No. 1 priority. He was so excited, he was stumbling over his words. He said he can’t wait to talk to me some more.”

Young is ranked 67th in the nation by ESPN and 102nd by Rivals.com.

Young chose Pitt over Florida, his other finalist. Young also had offers from Connecticut, Miami, Massachusetts, Memphis, Xavier, St. John’s, N.C. State, Seton Hall, Rutgers, West Virginia and Georgia Tech.
