Paul Imig Just Tweeted That J.P. Tokoto Will Announce In The Next 5 Days

Changing high schools, too.  That practically seals it that he's going to UNC, IMO.

Where'd you hear that? What high school is he changing to?

Please explain.

The rumor is that he won't be playing for his current coach his senior season and may transfer to a different high school, potentially even out of state to a power high school program. 

I believe the Menomonee Falls newspaper has eluded to the notion he may not be at MF for his senior season.

Those are all rumors. To this point, everything has pointed to JP being at Falls next year. The only thing I could possibly see is him committing to Roy and Roy telling him that he's a hell of a talent but no way can he play at UNC as a freshman if he plays for that coach again. Leave the decision up to JP and at that point he'd make a choice.

But just for fun, if he leaves I'd like to see him at St. John's MA

Roy Williams is actually who suggested that a change of high school competition would benefit JP's basketball development late last summer.

Williams told the family that JP's upside was through the ceiling and that he just needed to be in situations where he would be constantly using those skills to realize his true potential.

He's also gotten to be very close friends with UNC commit Marcus Paige who he actually met last year while both were visiting Bucky's game vs dook.

Now, does anyone else doubt that he's headed to Carolina?

A few updates in my story tonight for FOXSportsWisconsin.com on Tokoto, including a response on whether he'll still be at Menomonee Falls next year:

Again, anyone who thinks Bucky has the edge over Marquette is simply out of their mind.

"Style of play comes into it because I prefer to play fast. I like getting up and down," Tokoto said. "It's fun watching that. I don't like to play slow games like when we play Brookfield East. They like to slow the game down a lot and keep it low scoring. I like to play fast."

He's basically saying he wants to play for a program like ours, and he does not want to play for a program like Wisconsin's. They play the slowest pace in all of D1 basketball...wait, now it's only the second slowest per kenpom! Maybe Bo Ryan read this and is trying to pick up the pace to lure Tokoto in! Yeah right.

As far as JP's final list, UNC, Maryland, and Kansas all play faster than we do, while UCLA, Kentucky, UConn, and Wisco all play slower.

If he does intend to transfer wouldn't it have to be out of state due to the changes WIAA made a couple years ago?

I don't think you'll have to worry about Marquette's hat being pulled as the winner.

Who is worried about it?  The only thread with the poll has 75% voting for UNC.

I can't say that I've seen him more than a couple times, but I think this would be a good idea. he's got all the talent in the world, but he definitely needs to learn to play better, and as he points out, playing against teams like Marquette High and Brookfield East are going to make that tougher.

I realize they are just rumors but based on what I'm hearing and reading, seems pretty strong that he won't be at MF next year.
