IF you can’t understand why Kentucky needs some guys like this then there’s nothing to say. You’re ate up in our system from 2011 and haven’t realized we have to build more traditional rosters now with some guys like this to hang around and have a major impact. Cal is not landing enough of the top crop to recycle rosters with 2nd rounders and Briscoe’s as sophomores. Get over it and accept it. You can’t win with only athletic and lanky players. And some still don’t comprehend just how much the three point shot has changed this game. All aspects are important, but the three ball is another animal.
I think Cal is modifying his recruiting and that’s a sign of a great one. You put 2/3 OAD’s around these types of guys and that’s how you win championships.
I'd also take 2/3 of these guys around 6-7 OAD's and take my chances there too.
Chris Fisher has put in a crystal ball pick to UK. I know I know, crystal ball is what it is, but I like Chris Fisher
10 straight CB picks for UK including 2 Wisconsin insiders
I'll say it. Tyler Herro is the best white player in years. I admit what I've seen is only on tape but the kid has immense talent. I hope Cal goes after him.
The plot thickens. TBH it's crazy we offer guys like this and hold offers from top athletes to get "what we want" for example there's more bigs in this class besides Bol Bol, I'd take a Moses Brown
This post nails it. The reason the other posters here and HS kids everywhere think they run a 4.4 is because of hand timing vs laser times. You could run a 4.8 time and have two different ppl hand time it and one would get 4.49 and the other get 4.92. It just isn't accurateI'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
He's not better than TJ Leaf of Kyle Guy last year, but I think if we miss on Grimes he could be a nice get. Adding him to Baker and likely Quade/SGA plus Quickley and Keldon Johnson would give us a ton of outside threats.
He could be our hero.I've seen this kid play on TV. I live in Wisconsin ive heard about him for years. I want this kid at UK
We have a much better chance to get Johnson then Grimes.I don't think we get K Johnson. I think it's Grimes and looks like Cal wants Herro too
After watching Herro's videos, I must say I'm amused by the notions some here have that this guy is some sort of spot up only shooter. This guy can handle, pass and even take his man off he dribble. This fella isn't a stiff. He can create his own shot and take it to the hole. And you can bet that if he can move his feet that well on the offensive end of the court, he can do likewise when defending.
I will be extremely happy to welcome this young man into the BBN. He will fit into the dribble drive offense just fine. Just because he's white doesn't mean he has no skills. This kid can ball. Watch this video. Really analyze it. Does this kid really look like someone that's a spot up shooter only?
I'm failing to see a problem here.
First, consider the competition. What kind of high level D1 talent is Wisconsin producing every year?
Besides, the video shows me a kid who puts in on the floor but doesn't go anywhere with it. It's a lot of side-to-side stuff before taking a contested jumper. He's not blowing by folks to the rim.
We've seen even guys who did get to the rim consistently in high school against elite competition have trouble with it at this level (Aaron Harrison, Doron Lamb). No one thinks he's a stiff, but even the video you're analyzing shows that he doesn't really have the elite burst or handle it takes to beat your man.
The good news is that his midrange game is very good, he's a strong kid with a big frame, and he uses angles to get where he wants to go and makes shots when he gets there. That's fine. Buddy Hield destroyed guys that way. But no one is making assumptions based on him being white. It's evaluation based on what we see.

I agree RR. If Bol is Oregon bound as everything indicates why not go after either Brown (Moses or Jordan). UK needs a big man for the middle. Even if Richards returns, he doesn't seem like the answer.........too foul prone & has very little offensive game. I like shooters as much as anyone, but if you have no one to rebound what good is a shooter

This kid tore up the competition at the USA mini camp that took place a couple weeks ago. Was one of the dominant performers against the best of the best. That's when we heard he was opening it up and UK was interested shortly after. I seen th videos somewhere on here where he was torching the nets and doing what he wanted against some other 5 star guards.
Agree.We have a much better chance to get Johnson then Grimes.
