MU Fan in Connecticut

What's the criteria?  Women?  Scenic views?  Pretty buildings?  Weather?


Tough call, depends on what someone is looking for.   I like Duke's campus better than UNC's, but that's like saying I like Ms. Texas more than Ms. Arizona...they're both hot.

Stanford is the best looking campus I've been on.  Princeton is damn nice, too.  Duke was great, UNC very nice.  UVA.  Miami (OH).  Yale (but you have to deal with New Haven which is a dump)

For the coeds....San Diego State.  Arizona State.  University of Oregon.  Florida State.

New Haven is not a dump.  You obviously haven't been here in awhile.  It's actually a hot place to live.

Durham, NC is a dump.  The Duke campu sis the only nice thing in the area.

Paul just tweeted again:

Regarding JP Tokoto and my last tweet, I will be with him when he announces his decision. Stay tuned.

I guess that means this coming Friday.  I think JP shocks the world and picks MU!



He's got to pick MU.  As Jean, he can join Jae, Jamail, Jamil, Junior, Juan, Jimmy, John, Jake, Joe, Jose, and every other player with a name that starts with a 'J'.

True, it's been over a decade since I've been there...probably 13 or 14 years.  When last there, it was not what I expected at all.  Then again, downtown Cleveland and downtown Denver used to be dumps, but with the stadiums and other improvements, they have improved.

If New Haven has improved, I tip my hat to them.


Reading SOME (note, some) of the reviews on College Confidential and Trip Advisor....looks like a lot of people still see New Haven in unfavorable views.  Of course not everyone does.

Over on the scout board that are saying that both the badger and tar heel boards are saying they have Tokoto locked up.

Someone is going to be mighty disappointed.

This was just posted on the Scout Board ...

Paul, what day is the announcement?


PaulFSWI (this is Paul Imig)

Friday. The quickest way to find out about JP's decision will be to follow me on Twitter. (unintentional self-promotion). I'll post it there right away and then follow later with an article, but given the 'breaking news' nature of it, Twitter will be the quickest way to find out. Twitter.com/paulimig

I always likened the Yale campus to Marquette - An urban campus in the center of a downtown.  The President of Yale and the Mayor of New Haven have been in charge since the mid-90s and both have a good working relationship with shared mutual interest.  The wife and kids head to downtown New Haven all the time for Concerts on the Green, restaurants, the theaters, etc.  For a good view of Downtown New Haven check out the motorcycle chase scenes in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Chrystal Skull.

I agree with you on Cleveland.  I spent a lot of time there in the mid-2000s for work and I thought it got an undeserved bad wrap.  I had fun going to Indian games.

Wasn't he at the game today, sitting behind the bench in a red shirt?

I dod see him in the hall, so yes, he was there yesterday.

GGGG

It is interesting that he seems to come to MU games and events whenever he can.  For a guy who seems to really be in love with Roy at UNC, he clearly *likes* Buzz and the MU program.  Of course it is easy for a guy from the Falls to come downtown for a game - much easier than to go to Madison for instance.  So I guess my point is that, even if he doesn't pick MU, Buzz clearly did a very good job with his recruitment.  Can't fault him for the effort.

It looks like his visit to UNC last week made things clear in his mind.  Maybe he saw or felt things he didn't like or wasn't comfortable with down there.  We can only hope...

I agree with you, however, the one thing those guys never had was an offer to play basketball at UNC. And of all the elite level schools like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, UCLA, etc. I would rank UNC as the top dog. Plus, it's pretty nice weather there and that's a beautiful campus in Chapel Hill.

Geez, it sounds like the next thing you'll be saying is we should let them have the 1977 national title!
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Is it a safe assumption that Imig is on the level?  I know nothing about the guy, but I would have to assume that if he's legit and an announcement is coming, that JPT has already made up his mind.

If so, and also assuming that JPT was indeed at the game yesterday, would anyone else find it strange that he's attending a MU game having already made up his mind?  On one hand, if he has chosen MU... wouldn't this blow open the anticipation over his announcement?  On the other hand... if he's chosen someone else, doesn't this rise to the level of a mind-f&$#?  I mean, it's kind of like going to meet a girl's parents when you've already made arrangements to propose to another girl later that week.

Sure, JPT is local and he should be able to enjoy a MU game whenever he wants for any or no reason at all... but if he had "hall-access," that's seems like a little bit more than just a casual taking-in of the local hoops team.

EDIT: I'm not accusing JPT of mind-f@#$@# anyone - I don't think (and I certainly hope) that's not what's going on here.  Instead, I'm saying that this looks a heck of a lot more promising for MU than others who have previously responded about Imig's tweet.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I think by the "hall" he meant he was seen in the public concourses.

My bad.... when I hear "hall," I think of the ring underneath the 200 level connecting the locker rooms to the Blue/Gold room & Courtside Club.

JP was NOT at the Marquette game yesterday against Providence.

The Wisconsin Scout boards are saying that he was originally supposed to go to the game in Madison yesterday but was a "no show."  (Their words...I am sure he simply cancelled.)

And since he wasn't at MU yesterday, my guess is that all signs are pointing to UNC.

texaswarrior74

Telep just said that he's hearing news could break as early as Thursday and he's hearing UNC...

Incidentally, Tokoto had earlier said he wanted to go back to attend the UNC-dook game which is Saturday night in Chapel Hill

Coincidence?

No coincidence. Sounds like a done deal.

Yup.  I'd fall out of my chair if it's not UNC.  Good luck to the young man.  Can't pass that up.

Not possible...Menomonee Falls plays their opening round game Saturday at Waukesha South. Although the way the season has gone at Falls, maybe he'll just skip that and will be at the UNC/Duke game...

ACtually just checked and the game vs. WAukesha South is at 1:30 in the afternoon. Technically he could make both if he really wanted to

Yeah, Roy will just send the charter to Timmerman Field and fetch him.

Sure it's UNC, but if there's any hope, he'll be there tomorrow night.
