It sounds like we will know real soon where Marquis Teague will end up playing his college basketball. I guess he will decide after this season. What is the chance IU/Crean can land him? By this article it sounds pretty good, but I know Shawn Teague is saying what he is suppose to say to an IU related website.

Here is the article from ITH:

Marquis Teague will decide after junior season
by Alex Bozich in Recruiting | February 17th, 2010
Marquis Teague, the point guard from Indianapolis Pike who is rated among the top players nationally in the 2011 class, will make a decision on where he’ll attend college shortly after his high school season concludes.

“He’s going to make a decision probably right at the conclusion of his high school season. Or somewhere in between there and June,” Shawn Teague, Marquis’ father, told Inside the Hall on Tuesday night. “I wanted him to take his time and he’s pretty much at that point where he’s confident in sitting down and really talking about making the decision.”

Teague, who is considering a list of schools that includes Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky, Wake Forest, Cincinnati, Ohio State and Purdue, isn’t as concerned with the Hoosiers on the court results as he is with the direction of the program, according to his father.

“We can see the direction that they’re heading,” he said. “It’s a great situation from that standpoint. Wins and losses, at this stage of the game, that’s not a big concern for us. We know and feel pretty comfortable and confident in terms of the direction and what role that he should be able to play in that process. Indiana is Indiana. And the program speaks for itself.”

The elder Teague, who played at Anderson High School and for Rick Pitino at Boston University, said that the relationship between both himself and Marquis and the IU staff continues to be strong.

“It’s been great. Coach Crean is outstanding. I think the world of Coach Crean and I know Marquis does as well,” Shawn Teague said. “He’s just a real personable guy and seems to be genuinely concerned about the program and his players. I like the way that he really keeps a great relationship with his past players that played for him. To me, that’s great. That just says a lot about who he is and that’s real important to us.”

And what exactly should fans make of the recent appearances of Shawn Teague at several recent games at Assembly Hall?

“It means I like IU,” he laughed. “I like it. I like the atmosphere. I like everything about it.”

Ultimately, though, just as was the case with Jeff Teague, who played at Wake Forest before being drafted last June by the Atlanta Hawks, the decision will ultimately be up to Marquis.

“I just want to make sure they’re totally informed of all of the different pieces that it includes. I don’t want them to go off of making a decision at the conclusion at the end of a game just because Indiana or Kentucky or Louisville or Cincinnati or any one of those schools just had a game … and he was at the game and it was a big game and it was a major league crowd.”

“I don’t want him to make a decision right at the conclusion of one of those situations because that’s just a hype moment. I want to see him make a decision when things are calm, things are relaxed and things are like every day. I told him, ‘you don’t buy a house because someone else owns it, because it’s nice and decorated and looks wonderful with their stuff in it. You’ve gotta envision that thing being empty and do you still want that house after that.’ So, we just talk about things like that and he seems to have a pretty good grasp on that.”

Seems like Daddy Teague is in IU's corner. Could this be the anti-Irving recruitment?
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Really?

That'd be huge for the program, although I'm not sure that there is much truth to it.

In a way, yes. Personally I don’t have a good feeling about it, but I remember on more than one occasion when he said something such as, “Without giving too much away, I’m hearing really good news on the Marquis Teague front” or something to that nature. I certainly hope he’s right. Time will tell.

Sounds like something UB would say. But doesn't Btown have some inside information?

Yes, BTown is a legend. He knows people, so I tend to believe him. Admittedly though, that was a while back.

I agree with Tim, it won't happen. Until Crean starts winning consistently, he will have trouble landing any 5-star, one and done potential at IU. But I hope Tim and I are wrong and Btown it right. We could sure use a player of that caliber in our program. We need a shot in the arm and that would give it to us. I will show everyone that Crean can land that 5 star recruit.

putting words in my mouth now aren't we.

if i'm not mistaken, i told everyone like a year ago when people said he was "a lock to UL" that it was up in the air. i obviously (let me restate) OBVIOUSLY don't know where he's going to go to school, but if I were guessing it's 50-50 between IU and UL. And Rick Pitino's current drama isn't helping much.

That's my two cents.

I just don't see him going anywhere other than Louisville. I hope I am wrong though.

The only reason why Rick Pitino doesn't have an NBA job right now is because few NBA owners take him seriously. I'm not trying to say this is what Teague is thinking, but would you sign on to play for a coach who has attempted to be considered for AT LEAST four NBA jobs in the last two years?

From what I've gathered, I'd be very surprised if he didn't play his college ball in the Bluegrass State. His dad's positive vibes towards IU certainly is intriguing though.
