1. MU is very, very interested in JPT.
2. MU has very, very long odds of convincing JPT to bring his talents to Wells Street.
Saw him walking around the hallways at the BC during halftime of the WV game. At least he saw a pretty good showing by us.

Have we ever gone head to head with Duke for a recruit?
Falls is struggling this year (5-6) blown out by to Brookfield central (15th in the state), lost Germantown and bowman academy (Indiana).
Still hear its tough to get a seat in MF Gym.

He's a human highlight reel... just an amazing athlete
If you haven't seen him, go... it's worth the ~5 dollars you'll pay... remember to get popcorn
Went to see him last year with some friends. We took a ride from campus out to Menomonee falls and saw JPT have a relatively quiet night it seemed, but he ended up with over 20 points. Great athlete, and he still has lots of time to both grow and improve. I recommend going to watch him if you enjoy watching basketball.
And, my buddy had a conversation with Bo Ryan for a couple minutes after the game. Said he was a real nice guy, despite the fact that he was talking to a Marquette student.
If you are looking for a great game to watch of Tokoto's... may I suggest the rematch meeting with Milwaukee Marquette on January 25th at Milw. Marquette.
Marquette got the first game this year, and with Marquette also having a premier player in the state (John Kopriva - 6'7" - committed to Vermont) it should be a very good game to watch with some great high school basketball plays, I've seen Tokoto a couple of times, and he usually steps his game up to another level when there is another marquee player on the other side, as should occur in this matchup.

Just wondering, people here really think Bo Ryan is a mean person? I have heard nothing but good things about him as a person.

I never here anything good or bad about Ryan as a person, except from Wiscy fans who believe he is infallible. With that said Im sure he is a fine human being, but he sure looks like he could be a dick.

Bo coached my cousin and another acquaintance at UW-P back in the day. Maybe success has changed him over the years, but while probably somewhat biased in their opinions, nobody I know who is close to the guy has ever said anything bad about him. I've always thought Bo to be a decent guy... I simply don't care for his employer.
That article is dated 4/21/10....kind of old news and clearly no indication of MU's lack of interest.....
That said, think he still will be UNC bound when the dust settles.....he and his parents really like Roy from what I've been hearing and reading elsewhere....
