From twitter:

@ReggieRankin: Tokoto says UNC, Duke, Wisconsin, Kent and UCLA is the top five no order.

How did Kent State knock MU out?

He should be banned from all further Midnight Madnesses, Buzz' BBQ's, etc...

Can I be the first person to act like a Badger fan attack JP's parents on a message board?

JP Tokotos father just confirmed that he does not have a top 5 or final 5 school list right now

Anything about academic struggles, illicit drugs, over the top posses, or small furry animals?

I believe that is Kentucky, Not Kent State.

I blame it all on Tom Oates. He shed MU in a bad light the other day/night and JP took notice and cut MU from his list.

I was kind of hoping so.

I'd be happier if it were Tokoto's father that named a top 5 and JP confirmed said he didn't have any favorites.

Unless of course his father is actually calling the shots--which would raise a completely different concern.

Eek, does all this mean that JP was just visiting for the free food?

I have to admit, I'm curious if him taking back the post and JP's father's denial of such a list had anything to do with Marquette not being on it. Maybe the quick backlash is a good indicator that we are one of the front-runners.

I think it just has to do with there not being a list...

The other board said that Trimble (JP's father) was at the DePaul game.

They sure pay a lot of attention to a school that they are not interested in!

What spurred Rankin to post that?
Wouldn't you think you'd AT LEAST check with the parents (if they have one or two)?

I think the obvious fear would be that he got the list from JP and then the father became upset that JP let the news slip and decided to put an end to the news... I don't see why he'd need to check with the parents IF he got the news from JP.

Or he asked JP when he was still breathing heavy seconds after the game ended and JP gave him some names without thinking about what he was saying just to be polite and answer the question.

Hope the information is wrong. JP would make a great Warrior. Would fit in perfectly with Marquette's style of play. Wish he would end the rumors and make a commitment.

All along, I've felt that Tokoto would likely hold off until Fall 2011, at the earliest I think he'd announce in Spring. Would be a great get if he signs with us, and I agree he makes perfect sense here. He'd come in to the team after DJO and Crowder left, allowing him to try to earn time in either the frontcourt or at the 2. But regardless, he has said he doesn't want to announce until after his junior year, and we've only got to wait 3-10 months more. Here's hoping he picks the Blue and Gold!

If Roy wants him, JP will accept. Got to say though, a .500 HS team in Wisconsin with his pure talent is a stretch for 'Ol Roy. A "NC Stud" delivers more than that. MU will hover around JP and just may grab him based on Buzz's relationship with the P's. Bo really wants/needs JP...but last in the nation on tempo may lead him elsewhere than Moscow, WI. I have to say, based on his talent and athleticism, UNC and MU is the right fit for the kid. I see a strong UNC lean. Long time to go.

Mr. Smith, Roy has already offered. Here's hopin' James Taylor isn't on his or Koenig's IPod.

... and offered last June. So JP has been sitting on a UNC offer for months and is going out of his way to say he still has no final list of schools.
