UNC adds J.P. Tokoto to 2012 class

Posted Mar 3, 2011
J.P. Tokoto, the No. 32-ranked player in the 2012 class, committed to North Carolina over in-state Wisconsin, Maryland, Kansas, Marquette, UCLA and Connecticut on Thursday. The small forward from Menomonee Falls, Wisc., has been to Chapel Hill no less than five times for unofficial visits or AAU events. However, it was a first impression that set the tone for his commitment. "I remember when I first walked out of that tunnel to the stadium," Tokoto said. "I felt like I was at home. I can't wait to get there, I want to go now!" (ESPN.com)
