Tokoto disappeared against the rodents, glad someone found him.
Speaking of disappearing against the Rodents, the Harrison twins are going pro. I guess Cal is happy because he has to have at least four guys leave to make way for his next crop of AAs.
This doesn't make much sense to me, but hope it works out for him. NC is poised for a good year next year.
No wonder Bo cooled on him. He knew that Tokoto was one of those 1-2-3 and done players, and not one of those 4-5 year players who would still leave without a degree.
That's on Cal. The Harrisons were excellent in the first half against Wisconsin and were primed to continue to exploit the weakness that is the UW backcourt. Inexplicably, Cal didn't start either Harrison in the second half. Mind boggling overcoaching from Cal.
Just another really athletic guy that can't shoot worth a damn!
Sounds like both are fringe second round picks. Not sure if they just want to start earning or what, but another year would be good for both them and Kentucky. They've developed into pretty darn good college players, but I'm not sure either are quite good enough to really excel at the next level.They're those top-10 HS kids that probably didn't quite deserve their ranking and would be best suited as 4-year college kids. But of course, they won't do that. Just not the Kentucky way, I guess.
Reading the article Tokoto seems to have realistic expectations for the draft and understands that he has a lot of work cut out for him. However, for the life of me I'll never understand why he would use his senior year to brush up on the gaps in his game. I'm all for kids leaving school, at any age, for GUARANTEED payoffs. But this is a lot of risk to put up against the experiences of his senior year on the court, in the classroom, and just generally living college life.
I took from the article that he's really willing to put in the effort that he believes will get him to the level he wants to be at, but that he seems to feel that being at UNC won't allow him the time to do that, what with being on the team and needing to go to class. I felt like he's being very realistic, knowing that he's not about to get a huge paycheck, but he'll get some paycheck and can focus on his skills 100% of the time. Struck me as quite mature.
