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."
