The courting of J.P. Tokoto
Posted Nov 16, 2010
As a Class of 2012 prospect, J.P. Tokoto can’t yet take his five allotted official visits, which are paid for by the schools. He has, however, checked out quite a few prospective suitors with his parents. So far, he’s unofficially visited the biggies: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky (twice) and North Carolina; a few others: Alabama, Indiana and Maryland; and the locals: Marquette and Wisconsin. The assumption of most is that with the blue-bloods of college of basketball in the hunt, Tokoto naturally wouldn’t entertain the prospect of staying home. That line of thinking would be incorrect, however. “Everybody’s in the running,” he said. “There’s no favorites.”
