UK Lands Teague
KENTUCKY...
The University of Kentucky continued to add to John Calipari's streak of recruiting the nation's most highly rated point guard Thursday when Marquis Teague committed to the Cats after making his final choice between Kentucky and Louisville, following a decisive family discussion Wednesday night. Teague says his older brother, former Wake Forest star Jeff Teague,who now plays for the Atlanta Hawks, held considerable influence in his decision by telling him from the get-go, "Coach Cal will allow me to play my game and not hold me back." Calipari's track record with top guards made a critical difference. Teague's announcement gives Kentucky commitments from the players rated by Rivals.com as the top two in the class of 2011. Teague, who is No. 2, joins New Jersey forward Michael Gilchrist, the No. 1 prospect, who committed to Calipari last week. Many now say the Wildcats have the best recruiting class in the nation.
