    NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — St. Raymond’s of the Bronx point guard Shane Rector played with the Playaz Basketball Club this summer to get better and to increase his profile.

    “Yeah, that’s the whole goal of the summer, pick up your recruitment,” the 6-foot Rector told SNY.tv at the Peach Jam. “I’m trying to play hard out here so hopefully the college coaches see it and offer me a scholarship to their school.”

    Rector currently holds offers from Providence, UMass, Hofstra and Dayton and said he’d received interest from N.C. State, Florida State, Stanford and Oklahoma.

    “I don’t know when I’m going to cut my list down,” he said. “I gotta see who offers and everything and then really organize it. But I’m going to take some visits, though.”

    Rector also has a new coach at St. Raymond’s to play for. The school on Monday named longtime assistant Jorge Lopez, 38, to replace Oliver Antigua, now an assistant at Manhattan.

    “I liked his coaching style,” Rector told the New York Post. “On freshmen, he lets us play. He trusted us.”
