Teague talks about schools
Posted by Kyle Neddenriep

Pike junior standout Marquis Teague's list of schools is getting longer instead of shorter. Teague said Friday that he's now considering North Carolina, and though he hasn't yet received an offer from the Tar Heels, he's hoping to visit the Chapel Hill campus this fall. The 6-1 guard is also still considering Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State and Purdue. He said Wake Forest is still on the list, but he hasn't had much contact with them recently.

Here's what he said about each of the schools he's considering:

Ohio State: "(Coach Thad Matta) doesn't really play that much of a fast pace, but he wants to change that and get up and down. He always has dominant teams. With Jared (Sullinger) and Deshaun (Thomas) coming in, he wants me to come in and run the point. He said he wants to change the whole style. He's a great coach and let Mike Conley make a lot of great decisions when he was there and lead the team. He'll tell the point guard to go out and lead the team. I hang out with Deshaun a lot and spend time at his house when I'm in Fort Wayne. Jared's really been trying to get me to come to Ohio State."
