No clue who the schools are since I'm not a subscriber, but two BE schools lead for him per Scout:

Saw him play this weekend. He's really good. Him and Jordan Washington are big time tandem that will be moving their way up the ranks in NYC. Both play for Kimani Young.

My interview with him from this weekend...

Evan Daniels thinks in the end Samuel's may end up a Johnnie:
*Finally there is three-star guard Terrence Samuel out of New York. Samuel says that Villanova and Cincinnati are the two schools at the top of his list right now, but do not sleep on St. John’s in this one. In fact a pair of sources both said that at the end of the day they think the Red Storm are in the best position to land Samuel.

Are we going to become the East Coast version of Point Guard U?

For many years Villanova outrecruited us for New York players.
I wish that we outrecruit Villanova now. Jevon Thomas is a good beginning.

Terrence Samuel of New Heights/South Shore picked up an offer from Louisville, along with Cincinnati and Iowa State, his fav. at moment.

With Coach Lavin on the scene, the Nova Pipeline will slow down with NYC recruits that we are interested in.

Pitt, Louisville, Arizona & Nova offered Terrence Samuel, a 2013 PG from New Heights (NY), this week. They join Iowa State & Cincinnati.

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 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].”

FWIW, he seems to have a heavy dose of mid-majors pushing hardest. If we aren't, not sure how much we want the kid. I've never seen him play, so don't know how good he is, but the truth is that we have sooo few ships to work with considering Lavin's prowess in this area. Pretty sure that we're ante up and all-in with Rysheed Jordan for that class. Just a guess.
-
He's a big, strong guard. He needs to develop more of an outside game and he often excels due to his superior strength and size. He's getting recruited at a proper level. St. John's hasn't really been in contact with him lately and if they were interested in anyone on that team it's Jordan Washington.
There are a ton of good PG prospects in '13-'14 classes.

Rysheed Jordan is the priority at this point.

Starting with Rysheed Jordan.
Hearing Samuel is definitely feeling Iowa St.

There is a lot to go around in Philly with Jaquan Newton, Shep Garner on a lower tier too there is Yacob Yosef and Britton Lee

East coast version of UCLA? Got the right coach for it...

Samuel's Facebook says University of Cincinnati

“Iowa State, Cincinnati, Penn State, Temple and VCU,” replied Samuel when asked what schools were recruiting him the hardest.
In the past we would have been in that group. I can't wait to see us land a MCD's AA point guard.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Kyle and Gathers will both be McDonald's AA's.

I think Kyle is a lock. Ricardo - I'm not so sure. There are SO many good bigs this year - the McD folks are likely to have to pick some guys listed as Centers as PFs to make up the squads: Bigs rated ahead of Ricardo include centers Drummond, Austin, Coleman, McGarey, Tarczewski, Bidley, Robert Carter, Tony Parker, Shaquille Cleare and Robert Upshaw. PFS ranked higher include Brandon Ashley, Anthony Bennett, Amile Jefferson, Jarnell Stokes, Perry Ellis, Shaq Goodwin and Grant Jarrett (tho some classify Jarrett as a 5)....
That's a lot of bodies. It will be intersting to see if the SJU mojo has attained enuf Gravitas under Steve to push Ricardo over the top when it comes selection time....

He's such a unique player I think it will get him the nod. A bull/beast of his size and athleticism. Plus the Lavin/STJ snowball effect.

I believe that Gathers has a real good shot... 28 points and 13 rebounds against Mr. Drummond tells me so.

A Lavin signee named Sean Phaler once hung 55 on Lenny Cooke - didn't get him a McD bid.. That was at the old Addidas Big Time Tourney in Vegas back in 2001. Phaler was the tourneys leading scorer, and made 1st team all-tourney along with Cooke, Carmelo, Ray Felton and Taquan Dean. Others who DIDN'T make 1st team: Trevor Ariza, Mario Bogans, Brad Buckman, Paul Davis, Jason Frasor, Elija Ingram, LeBron James, Drew Neitzel, Leon Powe, Alan Ray, Anthony Roberson, Brandon Roy, Mustafa Shakur, Josh Smith, Sebastian Telfair, Michael Thompson, Matt Walsh, CJ Watson, Deron Williams, Antoine Wright...(it was a BIG tourney back in the day).
I'm just not sure Ricardo comes in with enuf gravitas to make the cut. Doesn't mean he's not as good or BETTER than kids that might make it ahead of him. We'll have to see. Some voters are going to look at his Profile on Scout or Rivals and say - No Duke in his list of schools? No UNC? No Kentucky? No Ohio State? No Florida? No Michigan State? No UCLA? No Arizona? How can he be McD quality?

I think Gathers is going to put up crazy numbers this season -- among the most impressive in the country ... but you're right.
-
Hard to say. Only so many spots. The kid is a pure PF and should be competing with that group, not the centers. Remember that some of the players at the top of the food chain might not be eligible due to post-grad year. I don't think Drummond qualifies and some other might not as well.

Huskies take him!
I like Shepard on that team a lot more. He's going to make an A-10 program pretty damn happy.

i agree with Dave IMO Samuel has been overrated for a minute I wish him the best because he is from BK but I never saw the growth in the game I was excepting

UCONN is going to load up on bench guys with the hope that some star power follow. I think they have a bumpy road ahead rebuilding,.

Today's bad weather might have had something to do with it.

They think that guys like Phil Nolan and Kentan Facey are McD's AA's.

I think that in light of their probation, they won't truly succeed, until they faze out academics completely. That is the key to their success.
