Tokoto-Paige tandem connects Tar Heels to Badgers

Posted Mar 26, 2015
J.P. Tokoto wasn’t contriving a plan to play alongside Marcus Paige at North Carolina, even if it appears that way. Paige might not be at UNC if Tokoto hadn't made a glowing recommendation to coach Roy Williams, who took Tokoto’s advice and started recruiting the point guard. And Paige might be at Wisconsin if the Badgers had offered him a scholarship, but they were waiting on a decision from an in-state star. (Fayetteville Observer)
