One of the premiere young forwards in the country, Tokoto is a freakish athletic forward with the ability to completely dominate on both ends of the floor. An exceptional rebounding talent due in part to his size and explosive hops, Tokoto’s ability to elevate and finish with both hands makes him virtually unstoppable in transition. Scary potential and upside.

Instate class just keep getting better

Menomonee Falls freshman J.P. Tokoto, a promising 6-4 wing player, finished with 23 points to lead the Indians.

“He’s a load, no question about it,” coach Cerroni said. “He was knocking down the 12-foot jumper and we decided to take that way in the fourth period. He did not score in the fourth period and Kameron did a heck of a job guarding him in the fourth quarter.”

Could very well become one of the very best players to ever take the floor in the state of Wisconsin before it's all said and done. An elite national prospect, Tokoto is a major dude in a major way and he's just scratching the surface of his enormous potential. A human highlight reel in development.

[Bernini]

Tokoto scored 18 points of Menomonie Falls' 48 to lead them to victory over Brookfield East. He's leading the Indians in scoring w/ 13.2 per game, a very impressive feat for a freshman.

Little blurb about Tokoto from WSN:

Meanwhile, Menomonee Falls coach Ben Siebert said Iowa, Iowa State, Marquette and Wisconsin are among the schools showing the most interest in prized 6-4 freshman J.P. Tokoto.

Tokoto scored 21 over the weekend in a loss to Milwaukee Marquette.

from wishoops aau preview

#24 Jean-Pierre Tokoto, 6-5, Frosh., WG/WF, Menomonee Falls
An emerging collegiate prospects … Currently ranked No. 2 among state prospects in the class of 2012 by Wishoops.net … An athletic, skilled wing player who showed great poise while playing for Menomonee Falls last season … Earned second-team all-league honors in the Greater Metro after helping Menomonee Falls to a 15-9 record by averaging 12.6 points per game … From coach Davis, “J.P.’s best attribute as both a basketball player and a person is his willingness to listen and take instruction from adults whether it be his parents or his coaches. He is an extremely polite young man and that is certainly a reflection upon the values his parents stress on a daily basis. On the floor, he is easily the most athletic player in our program. His athleticism allows him to do things on the court that 99 percent of the rest of the players in Wisconsin cannot do. J.P. has an unbelievable passion for the game. He understands that he has been blessed with some very unique gifts and he puts in a lot of time and effort to make the most of those gifts. J.P. can score in a variety of ways. He has really gotten much better off the dribble the past two months as well as become more versatile on the blocks. Coach Ben Siebert and the staff at Menomonee Falls did a phenomenal job of helping him understand his strengths while also identifying those areas that need the most improvement. I believe J.P. is the best player in Wisconsin’s class of 2012. He is being recruited by many elite NCAA Division I schools, including Arizona State, Boston College, Florida, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Louisville, Marquette, North Carolina, Oregon State, Syracuse, Tennessee, Texas, UCLA and Wisconsin. He maintains a 3.5 cumulative G.P.A. and takes academics seriously.”

that's quite a list already

Interesting article on JP. He is a MUST get for WI. No doubt about it.

[OnWisconsin07]

It seems as though he is indeed going to be one of the most heavily recruited basketball players Wisconsin has ever seen. That is a big boy list of schools already keeping close tabs on him. Let's hope that his family is very very important to him and that he's a Badger fan.

[Heavystarch]

I would like us to first get Quevyn, then move in on JP. 2011 should start heating up soon, then we can start reigning in on 2012.
