How do you say it?

[SmyrnaCatFan]

Herro. Is it pronounce hairo or hero? I thought it was the former but the announcer were saying the latter during last night's broadcast. I missed the first game completely. So which is it?

 

[TeleTubby]

It's Hufffhurrrrrrr

 

[Nubb16]

All I know is he’s my hero

 

[CatEye2010]

Hero is correct.

 

[Smashcat]

It's Hufffhurrrrrrr

haha

 

[ConRay9]

Hero, but I've already gotten used to the other way from saying it the last few months so I'm sticking with "hairo".

 

[Nubb16]

If you pronounce it hairo, I hate you.

 

[TeleTubby]

I just hope they don't play that stupid "I Need a Hero" song at Rupp

 

[Nuke99m]

I'm thinking they play, "Herro. Is is it you I'm rooking for."

 

[drbubba]

I thought it was pronounced "euro". He is money.

 

[blubo]

It’s pronounced like a chinaman saying “hello.”

 

[~Keyser Soze~]

Why on earth would you pronounce it Hairo?

 

[drainthatub]

Jamaarl hero I think

 

[Hoopcatjc]

This kid will be adored throughout the BBN unlike any player we’ve had in many years.
Even his name is special.

 

[GLR5555]

Strait killa.

 

[KDcats11]

Because grammatically, that is the way it looks like it should be pronounced. But it isn't, so people have to teach themselves to say "hero" instead.

ER O ER !
Great! There's another Lionel Richie fan out there.

 

[Bluegrassking]

I thought it was a silent H so more like "ear-o" but I guess it is just "hero".

 

[BlueElvis]

gyro or jyro?

 

[drbubba]

gyro or jyro?

gyro, like the sammich ...which I can't pronounce.

 

[Nuke99m]

Tzatziki?

 

[BlueElvis]

This quote is from Drew Franklin, KSR, on November 14, 2017, just prior to Herro's commitment to UK.

His last name is pronounced like “hero.”
Not “harrow,” like Ryan Harrow, thank God.

It’s string music.

Had the same question... is it pronounced (her ro) or (hero) thankfully the broadcasts for the Bahama has answered the question Herro (hero)!!

If Herro scores 15 points a game, they can play the Wisconsin fight song for all I care. He is the most pleasant surprise on the team so far.

Almost every year, a player overachieves and influences our basketball team in a big way. Last year, it was Gilgeous Alexander. This year, I think Herro might be that guy.

 

[morgousky]

It's Ryan Harl, last name pronounced Jermayne

I wonder, is it overachieving or did Cal know what others didn’t?

 

[csrupp]

Yeah, I’ve never heard it pronounced that way. Not sure what OP is talking about.

It would be an upgrade from Cotten Eyed Joe

I don't know. Hero may stick with some. How you doin'?

 

[Wall2Boogie]

It’s pronounced blue mamba because that’s his nickname. Since James young isn’t around to use it, we will just refer to him as blue mamba

 

[jrollins24]

the way that it's spelled would suggest "hair" "ro"

the natural English translation of Herro doesn't remotely translate to "heee" "ro".

google "pronounce herro" and watch the first video

 

[SmyrnaCatFan]

I read and speak multiple languages. The double "r" implies a short "e" rather than the long "e" according to English rules. I didn't know if the announcers were mispronouncing his name or if the language rules are suspended with his family name. Thanks for clarifying for me.
