2013 guard Terrence Samuel of New Heights (NY) just spoke with Penn State. The Nittany Lions are close to offering.
 
There is a long way to go but Coach Savino has established a great relationship with him and UC is his favorite right now. Let's hope that continues to be the case becuase this kid will get more and more attention over the next couple years.

I belive he's our to lose at this point. As you say him and Savino have a nice realtionship. Him and Sanders are friends as well so that never hurts. His facebook page has his school listed as Cincinnati.

If he does blow up like many belive, hopefully Cincinnati being on him hard and early will pay off when others start calling.

Some serious offers for Samuel in the past week...

Per the RecruitScoop:

Pitt, Louisville, Arizona & Nova offered Terrence Samuel, a 2013 PG from New Heights (NY), this week. They join Iowa State & Cincinnati.
 
The oppurtunity to travel the world and play in front of college coaches for free,” is what 6-foot-3, 198-pound (rising) junior guard Terrence Samuel told NBE over the weekend when asked what he like dmost about being part of the New Heights program.

Samuel has seen his stock soar recently. After a few good performances on the early spring AAU period word was out that he was a player coaches should keep an eye on and those that came to check him out were not disappointed with what they saw.

“Pitt, Villanova, Cincinnati, Louisville, Arizona, Iowa State, Rutgers [and] Oregon State,” said Samuel when asked about offers received, noting many came since July began. He also mentioned VCU, Virginia, Temple and St. John’s as schools expressing new interest recently.

Samuel, who attends South Shore High School in New York City is far from the only player with New Heights making a bigger name for himself this summer. His high school teammate Shamiek Sheppard had a team-high 21 points to lead New Heights to a 57-52 overtime victory over The Ville 2013 to capture the Adidas Invitational title. The 6-foot-5 forward was also impressive closing the live period playing for the New Heights 17U and 16U squads at the Joe Brown Memorial Tournament in Wayne (NJ) on Friday afternoon.

One of the more impressive team performances throughout July was put on by the New Heights 16U AAU club. Including their Adidas Invitational championship to kick off the early July evaluation period and a Summer Classic East title that included a thrashing of highly touted Team Final 16U, New Heights claimed five impressive tournament titles on the AAU circuit this spring and summer. One player very instrumental in their success was South Shore (NYC) High School guard Terrence Samuel who loved every minute of his time with New Heights.

“The best part of being with New Heights is the expierence [of] being able to travel the world for free,” Samuel told NBE this week. “And to play in front of college coaches.”

And college coaches have liked what they have seen out of the 6-foot-3, 198-pound (rising) junior (Class of 2013) guard who is very happy with how his recruitment is going at the moment.


“My recruiting is going great,” said Samuel. “I have a lot of new schools intrested in me and also picked up a couple new offers.”

Samuel singled out five schools that are coming at him the hardest at this point.

“Iowa State, Cincinnati, Penn State, Temple and VCU,” replied Samuel when asked what schools were recruiting him the hardest.

The interest certainly does not stop there as Samuel listed many top programs he is considering. There are currently no favorites or leaders.

“All,” said Samuel when asked by NBE what schools he was considering that are active in his recruitment. “Temple, Villanova, Arizona, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Oregon State, West Virginia, Iowa State, Penn State, South Florida, [VCU, Cincinnati and more].”

Samuel will be certain to see continued interest from college coaches this fall and winter when he returns to action with South Shore High School in Brooklyn (NY). With more and more NYC prospects leaving the PSAL and CHSAA for the prep school ranks in New Jersey, New England and other destinations it is refreshing to see a highly touted player excited about competing with his high school. Samuel has high hopes for the upcoming season where he will with AAU teammate Shamiek Sheppard and others for what they hope is a banner year.

“I believe that we have the best team, and I believe that we are the favorites going into the next season,” he said.

NBE will closely follow Terrence Samuel with South Shore this season and with New Heights again on the AAU trail next spring and summer. As one of the most highly recruited players on the East Coast in the Class of 2013 you can be sure we will not be alone in doing so.

IOWA STATE CHECKS IN ON TERRENCE SAMUEL

6-foot-3 guard Terrence Samuel out of Brooklyn’s South Shore High School had a strong summer with the New Height’s AAU program. The physical lead guard recently took an unofficial visit to Iowa State with teammate Shamiek Sheppard and a Cyclone staff member recently watched a workout at South Shore. Samuel hopes to make a couple more visits this month.

“VCU some time this month and Pitt (Panther Apparel),” said Samuel when asked if there were any other visits he planned to take in the coming weeks.

Samuel is very proud to be part of the group, along with Sheppard, that has turned around the basketball fortunes at South Shore. He is hoping to cap that turnaround with a championship this season

West Virginia, UVA, Xavier, USF, Iowa State, Pitt, Louisville, Temple, Penn State & more have recently been in touch with Terrence Samuel.
 
The crowd erupted and spilled onto the court, celebrating South Shore’s first victory over Boys & Girls in coach Mike Beckles’ eight-year tenure. The joyous Vikings joined together in a circle, clapping and chanting as Terrence Samuel danced to the music blaring through the speakers.
It made sense that he was in the middle of the circle – the junior point guard was in the middle of South Shore’s biggest win of the year, a hard-fought 61-58 victory over nationally ranked Boys & Girls in PSAL Brooklyn AA boys basketball in Canarsie on Wednesday.
He had 18 points – 13 in the second half – seven rebounds and six assists against the same team which ended South Shore’s season last year. Most importantly, he sank all four of his fourth-quarter free throws – the go-ahead free throws – in the waning minutes.

South Shore's Terrence Samuel had 18 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the Vikings' 61-58 victory over Boys & Girls.

“He stepped up big,” Beckles said. “He showed he’s one of the best players in the city.”
Samuel wasn’t alone in his dead-on work from the foul line in the final stanza. The Vikings made 11-of-12 and their final eight, which included Doudmy St. Hilaire putting the game away with two at the line with 12 seconds remaining.
“We don’t hit our free throws, we don’t necessarily win,” Beckles said.
Shamiek Sheppard added 17 points, many of them on high-flying slams, and six rebounds and Wayne Martin followed with 10 points and nine rebounds.
After a two-game slide, South Shore (6-2, 4-2 Brooklyn AA) is headed to the Kreul Classic in Florida riding high, winners of two straight. There were harrowing moments Thursday. Leroy (Truck) Fludd poured in 31 points for Boys & Girls, which never trailed by more than five points and led by a point with 1:40 to go after Fludd’s putback.
The Vikings, though, executed down the stretch with Samuel making his free throws, Sheppard adding two of his own and the defense not giving Boys & Girls an open look from 3-point range when down three.
“They deserved to win,” Boys & Girls coach Ruth Lovelace said. “They played better.”
After knocking off two-time CHSAA Class AA city champion Christ the King on Saturday and topping Grady on Tuesday, Boys & Girls never could find its rhythm on either end of the floor. Fludd had another big game, which has become the norm for the uncommitted senior, and Tyliek Kimbrough added 13 points. The other Kangaroos mostly struggled, enabling South Shore to focus on Fludd, and Lovelace wasn't happy with her team's usually stingy defense either.
“It’s tough, but I was telling these guys you gotta get some good out of this,” Lovelace said. “It’s better for a loss to come early.”
The Vikings played down the revenge factor. Sure, Boys & Girls ended their season in the quarterfinals last year, rallying from a 10-point deficit, but that was a different team, a different season. This win was about this year, this group finding a way to beat a quality opponent, proving to themselves they’re capable of taking down one of the supposed superpowers after Saturday’s 18-point loss at Lincoln.
“This win means a lot,” Samuel said. “This is our motivation to keep working harder and harder and harder and good things will continue to happen for us.”

South Shore (NYC) High School guard Terrence Samuel is one of the most intriguing prospects in the Class of 2013 nationally. The powerfully built 6-foot-3, 195-pound guard began to make a name for himself nationally helping New Heights AAU to five impressive tournament titles on the spring and summer AAU circuit.

The attention in his talents has continued into his junior season with South Shore and his recruitment has expanded. Some of the new schools that have become involved has been the highlight of his season so far.

“Highlight [of the season is] picking up [recruiting interest from] Kansas and Memphis,” Samuel told NBE Basketball Report over the weekend.

That interest goes along with the offers that Samuel listed in our chat from Louisville, Pittsburgh, VCU, Iowa State, Penn State, Temple, Arizona, Oregon State, Virginia, Cincinnati, West Virginia, and others.

Samuel wouldn’t list anyone as a favorite or hint of any schools putting in more of an effort to recruit him than the others, but he did indicate he would like to decide sometime either this spring or summer. In the meantime he will continue to work on his perimter shooting, an area he already feels has come a long way.

“My three-point range has improved,” he said. “I’m hitting four, maybe five some games.”

NBE will continue to monitor the progress of Terrence Samuel this season as he and his South Shore teammates work toward their ultimate goal of City and State champions. Samuel will also certainly be a closely watched player on the spring and summer AAU circuit and we will be very curious to see which schools make this talented guard their recruiting priority in the Class of 2013. Stay tuned for additional updates in the future…

Terrence Samuel (NY Rens 2013) – Samuel’s recruiting remains wide open as he neglected to mention any school that stands out to him right now. He is mulling offers from Louisville, Cincinnati, Temple, Iowa State, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Penn State, Creighton, Dayton, and Villanova. Kansas, Connecticut, and Memphis have also expressed interest but have yet to officially offer.

Samuel arrived for his team’s first game a few minutes late and as soon as he got stretched out and came into the game everything changed. A chiseled 6’3” Samuel has explosive athleticism at the point guard position and really fuels a fast tempo for his club. He didn’t meet a defender who could keep him out of the lane and once there, Samuel makes terrific decisions with the ball. He has outstanding vision and is always looking to get an easy shot for a teammate. A true pass first point guard, Samuel has established himself as a priority for a host of Big East and national programs.

With great length and size for a point guard, Samuel showed off his strong handle and vision, as well as scoring ability. Thanks to a confident midrange game, the 6’3” lead guard paced New Rens with 13 points in its third round loss. Samuel said that Iowa State is recruiting him the hardest and he likes where the program is headed after making the tournament this past season. He rattled off offers from Villanova, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Pitt, among others, and said he could make a college decision as early as the conclusion of the AAU circuit.
