Teague goes with Ball State

Kyle Neddenriep writes: "Ball State coach James Whitford scored a big win on the recruiting trail with the commitment of Pike 6-8 forward Tahjai Teague on Tuesday. Teague picked Ball State over San Jose State, but had interest throughout the recruiting process from high-major Division I programs. Jerry Meyer, a national recruiting analyst from 247sports.com, tweeted that he had Teague as a four-star prospect and that he was "vastly under recruited."

The following is also from Kyle Neddenriep:

Pike senior Tahjai Teague committed to Ball State on Tuesday.

The 6-8 Teague took an official visit to the Ball State campus over the weekend. He picked Ball State over San Jose State, where he also took an official visit.
"It was mostly about the coaches," Teague said of his decision. "I think Ball State is definitely heading in the right direction. Coach (James) Whitford said he likes my athleticism, I can rebound and that I can get up and down the court."

Here's another article on the Teague commit.

No idea if the Cody Schwartz commit had SJSU backing off here. Teague is 6-foot-8, 190 and Schwartz 6-foot-8, 180. Schwartz is the better outside shooter although Teague looks to have more defensive potential.
