Marquis Teague's much-anticipated college decision could be coming soon.
Shawn Teague, father of the standout Pike High School basketball player, said his son "will make the decision whenever he wants to make it."
"We've talked about it the last couple weeks," Shawn Teague said. "We wanted him to have a chance to see all the teams he was looking at, and he's done that. So it's really up to him now to make that decision."
The 6-1 junior guard, ranked No. 2 in his class by Rivals.com, was named to the fourth team of Parade magazine's All-America squad Thursday. He is considering scholarship offers from Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville and Purdue.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino on Thursday received a contract extension that will run through the 2013 season.
"It definitely helps that situation," Shawn Teague said. "It shows that he's going to be there for a while."
