Marquis Teague is a special player. He committed to the Wildcats in April after showing interest in going to school up the road to Louisville. Teague is a senior in high school this year and will arrive on campus in Lexington next summer for the 2011-2012 season. Teague is currently ranked by many as the top point guard in the nation for that class bringing yet another top talent to camp Calipari.

When asked which point guard he would select of the 2011 class, analyst Jerry Meyer says Teague is the choice for point guard.
[quote]Teague is the most talented player of the three, and he is the one I would pick for my team. He is an explosive playmaker with top-shelf abilities that just can’t be taught. His quickness and speed with the basketball put him in the same category as talented point guards such as John Wall and Derrick Rose.
When the offense breaks down, Teague has the ability to create something out of nothing. That is one of the most valuable assets a point guard can bring to a team. It doesn’t take much to get a team into an offense, but it takes a rare talent to create the offense.
The areas of weakness for Teague are areas that can be improved through quality coaching. I expect his outside shooting to improve as we are seeing with the point guards mentioned above. And I believe a coach that knows how to handle point guards will help Teague become a better leader and communicator.[/quote]
Can’t wait until the 2010 year. Can’t wait until the 2011 year. Exciting times as a CATS fans, huh?
