This kid can play. Quick , strong, knows how to create separation, and most importantly, can shoot.
Exactly the kind of player we need.

if i told you that i probably wouldn't get that kind of info to pass on anymore. like i've said before about "inside info" i hear things from time to time that i know are straight from the horse's mouth so to speak and people can choose to belive that or not.

Guy doesn't look like a UK guy to me. Happy to have him if he comes, but he just has that Iowa/Wisconsin midwest look to him.
The next step for Herro is to begin setting up official visits, which is something he’s looking to do in the next week or so.
In terms of when Herro may make his college choice, it doesn’t sound like he’s going to rush into making a choice before the early signing period, which starts on November 8th.
I would think a kid who feels like he committed too early would play out the process, take all his visits, and decide in the spring when he sees what each roster looks like. No reason not to enjoy yourself, build some publicity, and gather all the information you can. Don't make the same mistake twice.
Most 6'4'' white guys with good athleticism are playing other sports.
Hmmm...didn't someone say UK is not interested in him? Wow, imagine that. Someone on here proclaiming to know something and being totally false. Gotta be a first.
Awesome. Show us some posts from the past where you've "heard" things and they've been correct. I must have missed them. Not saying you are FOS, but I truly haven't seen any of those type posts.

only way Herro ends up at UK is if he literally waits til the end of spring bucks all other suitors and UK has an extra spot for him. UK staff is not really interested in him.

If I had a dollar for every guy I've met who "ran a sub 4.5 40" I'd have at least 300 bucks. And I'd bet double that, that you've never ran a legit 4.47. Here is why.
Top 5 NFL rushing leaders this season 40 times:
1. Kareem Hunt- 4.62
2. Le'Veon Bell- 4.6
3. Todd Gurley- 4.52
4. Leonard Fournette- 4.51
5. Jordan Howard- 4.57
You are not faster than any of these 5 guys on your best day. Whenever someone tells you their 40 time, add about .5 seconds to it to get their real time. So you ran about a 4.9 on your best day which is still pretty damn fast compared to an average person. Sub 4.5 speed is extremely uncommon, but somehow every other guy who played a skilled position in high school "ran a 4.4" and 99.9% of them are full of shit.
He looks like a UNC player. They have won several NCAA championships with players like him. I would predict he would join that list if he goes there. It is going to be very hard to keep UNC down now that the basketball world knows they are above the rules. Actually they are not down and haven't been. When you win a title while the "investigation" is ongoing that says you are the chosen one.
I went to high school with at least 3 guys who I would say ran legit 4.5 or less.
I know what you're saying, but there are fast people everywhere. The guys carrying the ball in the NFL aren't necessarily the very fastest.
That's fine man. I don't really mind you think I'm FOS. It just means you were slow. I know quite a few guys that ran sub 4.7. The trick is... Wait for it.... You have to do it while weighing 210+. It's really not all that uncommon for guys weighing 170 that run track.
But believe or don't believe in whatever you want. The world is flat after all.

Another wannabe who probably has a friend who is a friend of a friend of a student manager thus making him an insider.
Was thinking about this on the way to work. With other options on the table like Johnson and Grimes id think of Herro as more of a backup. We should return at least 1 member of our back court not named Brad, and have Quickley on board. Staff may like Herro and if Grimes and Johnson both decide this Fall then maybe they jump all in, but as of now I assume hes a distant 3rd option theyre just keeping tabs on and flirting with at this point.
Yes. But lots of our fans seem to prefer a good shooter who is inferior elsewhere over a superior player that doesn't shoot as well.
Or they are showing Grimes that we have other options so he needs to take the opportunity now before it's too late.
Some faith you have. My dislike for UNC and the NCAA outweighs UL because lil brother was corrupted by sex, money, and probably a lil drugs. The NCAA and UNC seem to be above reproach and have a lust for power. Both can seemingly do whatever the hell they want and it doesn't matter. If u make the rules or control who does then you are untouchable.
Believe it or not, the NCAA and UNC have come out of this stronger than ever. They now realize if we can come out of this debacle unscathed then nothing can stop us.
I believe Herro is possibly the best white guard we've recruited since Jess Sheppard by watching his videos and jumping ability. We all know kids from Wisconsin can shoot; so why not sign him if we can? Of course, we probably won't, and he winds up at Kansas or Puke!! Oh well.... JMO
I love this post. I used to run Legit 4:6-4:7 times in High School Football and could outrun the vast majority of 4:5 types. These times are as inflated as bb's players height, always lied about by an inch or two. Remember PJ Washington was 6'8 or 9. He is 6'7 with shoes on. Stuff always drives me nuts.
Athleticism is great. It really is. But so is shooting. Give me a player like Herro any day over someone that is a freak athlete but can't shoot a lick. Herro's stroke more than makes up for any perceived minor shortcomings he might have in terms of athleticism.
If he can't play a lick of defense, he won't play under Cal. Ask Kyle Wiltcher
I'm just saying the average official 40 for the two fastest positions in the NFL (WR, CB) is 4.55. Those guys are some of the best athletes in the world. True 4.4 speed is just extraordinarily rare and hand timed 40s are extremely unreliable measures. Hand timed 40s are the reason why every other high school kid thinks he runs a sub 4.7. It's just not reality though. And yes I am slow, never ran a timed 40 but I'd guess I'd probably run about a 5.5
i don't friend of friend who is anything, i've said before in other threads that when i have info and pass it along you can take it or leave it. You could look and see a few different things I said that turned out to be true, but I'll give you a fresh one. I know this hasn't been said on this board even when the speculation was happening over the summer. The reason that Cal quit recruiting Romeo Langford was because during the USA camp Romeo and his father took a meeting with Cal and told him Romeo's back was fine and he would not only would he be fine to play but he was ready to shine. Well that was a lie and his back wasn't ok and Cal was pissed that he would take the spot away from another guy like that so selfishly, then to make matters worse daddy Langford goes to the press and tells them he "doesn't know why romeo isn't playing and it's not his back". Cal was game, set, match, done right then and there.Another wannabe who probably has a friend who is a friend of a friend of a student manager thus making him an insider.
Luke Kennard was a damn fine guard. I doubt he was as athletic as Sheppard, but his all around game was quite good.

Since he can only shoot and likely not a first rounder, seems reasonable to think he won't get an offer.
