Harlem native Kareem Canty is planning some visits and focusing on a group of schools.
The 6-foot, 185-pound 2012 point guard says he’ll visit Providence Sunday, Texas A&M in early June and Xavier June 24.
He also lists Miami, Oklahoma (interest), Dayton and Seton Hall, but says Xavier’s Rasheen Davis is working the hardest right now.
“They keep in contact with me, see how I’m doing,” Canty said by phone. “I respect that.”
He said the coaching change at Texas A&M has not deterred him from considering them. Associate head coach Scott Spinelli is recruiting him.
After spending three years at Brooklyn Bishop Loughlin, where he played alongside Villanova’s JayVaughn Pinkston, Canty prepped last season at Bridgton (Me.) Academy.
Yet he said he plans to change scenery next season and play at either South Kent (Conn.) or Brewster (N.H.) Academy, and hopes to decide by June or July.
“I just want to be in a different environment,” he said.
As far as college, Canty plans to take some visits this summer and fall.
“I’m a tough guard, I just want to win,” he said. “I play with a chip on my shoulder. I’m a scoring point guard but I get in the lane and drop it off. I play by instincts.”
