Teague: A budding star


Marquis Teague has the name and the game to back up all the attention he received from college coaches at the Kentucky HoopFest.
The 6-foot-1 sophomore-to-be at Indianapolis Pike has been billed as the next star from the city of Indianapolis, which has recently produced Greg Oden, Mike Conley and Eric Gordon among other standout top players.

Teague, who played for the Spiece Indy Heat 15 team at the HoopFest, is the brother of current

Marquise discusses IU's efforts to land him and he will be in Bloomington this weekend.

Crean has some experience with nabbing impressive PG prospects, most recently Dominic James. I hope Teague isn't lured in!

From the Bucksnuts freeboard, Cavsfan89 is reporting that Teague visited Louisville this past weekend and his father was at Boston College when Pitino was there. I think our chances are very slim with him especially with the recent verbals of Chandler and Taylor to Louisville.

Oh, come on, have a little optimism. Matta is a better recruiter than just about anybody. OSU has been on Teague for quite a while now. Chandler and Taylor were HS teammates and weren't HS teammates of Teague - I don't think they have much to do with each other. Being the son of a guy who played for the coach could be a double-edged sword ...

litl is right...Louisville is in the drivers seat right now for teague...

Per request, moving this one...

[purduerowdie]

teague has recently visited wake and purdue (since the last UL visit).

perhaps giving a few schools a last shot before verballing to pitino? I really don't see this one ending any other way, unless dad just talks a lot and marquis is of a very different mind. I don't think his dad is exactly that type though.

Marquise loved a recent visit to Louisville for the game against Kentucky. He will decide after his season concludes and is considering Louisville, Indiana, Wake Forest, Purdue, Cincinnati and Ohio State.

I really don't think Ohio State as much of a chance in landing him. Louisville is the leader with others tried to catch up. Not saying Ohio State doesn't have a chance because he has not verbal and a place but the chances are slim and slim might be leaving Columbus.

On a side note: Thomas plays with Indianapolis? (Pike) Marquis Teague, who appears to be one of Indiana?s most sought after prospects in the 2011 class.

Thomas said Teague is his favorite point guard to play with and light-heartedly told reporters he has been trying to convince Teague to join him at OSU.

Saturday from Assembly Hall: No June commitment for Teague
Posted by Kyle Neddenriep


UPDATE, 8:05 p.m. - Hold the phone on Marquis Teague's June commitment. I just visited with Shawn Teague, his father, after tonight's game at Assembly Hall and Mr. Teague said it won't be until "after July" that the Pike standout will select a school.

The reason for the delay is that Teague is playing for the U-17 USA National team and will be in either Colorado or Argentina most of the month. There's a short window when he'll be back in late June, but the travel ball season picks up again in July and he'll be gone much of that month, too.

Shawn Teague said he would like for Marquis to have made a choice before the beginning of his junior year.

"We haven't had time to really sit down and evaluate everything and with the schedule so crazy for June and July, we probably won't be able to until after that," he said.

Earlier today, Marquis Teague said his still considering the same six schools (Cincinnati, Indiana, Louisville, Ohio State, Purdue and Wake Forest) and is also talking with Kentucky, although he's yet to receive an offer.

Thomas' teammate on the 17-and-under Spiece Indy Heat, Pike junior-to-be Marquis Teague, said he's sticking with his timeline of June to make a decision and confirmed Kentucky has joined the list of potential suitors. That list also includes Cincinnati, Indiana, Louisville, Ohio State, Purdue and Wake Forest.

Teague was wearing an IU sweatshirt before Saturday morning's game, but don't read too much into that. He said his dad's friend bought it for him.

"I'm going to make my decision next month," said Teague, considered a top-10 player nationally in the 2011 class. "I'm still talking it over with my family and trying to see. I'm definitely making it next month."

Teague said he will make an unofficial visit to Kentucky and will also make another visit to Louisville. He said he has a strong relationship with Indiana coach Tom Crean.

"I like all the schools that have offered me so I'm going to take a strong look at all of them," he said. "The coaches told me to make a decision when I'm comfortable."
