JP Tokoto

Not looking to get my head bit off here....Just relaying what i was told.


I'm friends with a girl and her brother (Kendal Miller) is about to be a senior for Germantown H.S.  To make a long story short, Buzz emailed her brother telling him he should continue playing basketball,(Her brother didn't see eye to eye with the coach)  Not sure if he's being recruited..(I couldn't imagine he would play for a D1 school)

   Anyway, he is best friends with J.P. and she was telling me how he was hanging out with him all weekend.  From what she told me, it sounds like J.P. still considers MU as a school to play for.  I don't think we were in his final 5 list, however i did find this interesting.  She told me that J.P stated he would like staying close to home, and playing with his friends, etc and doesn't want to sit on the bench at UNC. I still don't think it will happen, however one can hope right?

IF..... this were true, and he wanted to come to MU, would he have to sit out a year as a transfer, or could he play right away, as the school year has not started yet?

If NC were to give him a realease before the school year started he could play right away just like TJ taylor.  If school starts or NC does not he would have to sit out a year.

Would need to get a release from his NLI.  Could play right away then.  Don't hold your breath.

Last status seems to be doing just fine, returning "home" to Chapel Hill, presumably after being in Wisconsin for the weekend.  Classes at UNC start tomorrow.  Not happening.

The next Jamil Wilson perhaps?

OK, not likely but I always enjoy a good rumor.

I wonder if she knows the person who sometimes posts links to the stream for games.

Hardly a rumor, I identified her brothers name, it was confirmed via twitter he was home, i have no reason to lie about something so stupid.

Doubtful, but i can ask her tonight.

No one said you were lying.  However I think there is a lot of exaggeration and positive spin to your story.

I'm not saying that you're lying. I just think that hearing about this from Tokoto's friend's sister is not exactly concrete info. No offense intended.

Maybe I can get her to text me what he said, then i could upload that perhaps?

I think you're better off just letting it go.

Too funny!

Before the storm hits, I want to clarify that I was just having a little fun with the "friend's brother's friend" aspect of the story.  I think it's great if people post what they've heard on this board, and sometimes hate how they get their "head bit off here" when they do.  We've gotten some good information this way.  Of course, we've also gotten a fair amount bad info.

I'm not holding my breath for official news of the Tokoto transfer, but I've got no problem with JDuquaine sharing what he heard.

[kmwtrucks]

Most player's that end up transfering end up going closer to home.  I would have to think if JP opted to transfer out we would be under consideration.  Look at Jones, EW, TJ, etc.  They all end up going closer to home.

This. When people explain where they get their info with some degree of particularity, and are clearly just relaying information and letting the board do with it what we will, I really think that is one of the most beneficial aspects to a message board.

I didn't say that you were the one exaggerating or putting a positive spin on it....your friend might be.

Does anyone know if this friend's sister is perhaps friends with Tarik Black as well?

Murray, I'll get the donuts if you can grab two seats at Chuckie Cheese's for the presser.

This thread is worthless without pics of the sister. (assuming she's 18. If not, pm them to jaybee)

Not doubting the story, but it's possible that we are making a jump to this meaning that he wants to leave UNC and play for Marquette.  I could see him saying it in the context of his friend's story about getting some encouragement from Buzz.  I think it was known that Tokoto and Buzz got along pretty well.  So it wouldn't surprise me if he had us in mind in the event that things didn't work out at UNC for the reasons listed.  Doesn't mean it will happen and I highly doubt anything would happen before this season.

Exactly, he got the dream offer from UNC, he's at least going to check it out for a year before bailing.
