Tyler Herro game update 2-9

Yep. Some people assume every white kid is slow, unathletic, shooter and that every black kid is a freak athlete. You can take a Julian Edelman type and a Boom Williams if they both ran 4.4 forties, and one would be a great athlete and fast while the other would "have sneaky athleticism and fast for a white kid".

It's not even a racist thing for most as much as it's just perception. But Herro is every by the athlete that Dev Booker was here and a better athlete than Lamb. He isn't josh carrier or KWilt.
Yeah..but he white
 
LOL like I'm gonna read that. A Wisconsin fan board. The place Herro decommitted from, with the thread title breaking news of the kids decommitment from them. I'm sure they speak glowingly of the dude. Couldn't be butt hurt or anything. Legit info.
Hey I know it’s Wisky and all, but I don’t like what I read.
 
^^^Personally I like the fact that he's cocky. Takes balls to decommit from the home state school right before HS basketball season and hear it from every fan at every away game. Seems like he feeds off of that.

As long as he doesn't go Gracie Allen I'm fine with cocky. Just back it up and win.

Exactly. I love that he talks trash and has some swag. Him and Keldon Johnson. I wanna see that fire. Like how Westbrook plays ANGRY at all times. Love that.

All of our best players usually do (Wall, Cousins, Ulis, Booker, Murray, Monk, Fox).
 
Everytime I watch him I walk away impressed with the team as a whole. Not to be racist, but its just a bunch of average looking white kids plus Herro. No ones super tall or athletic but they all crash the boards, can dribble, and pass. Theyre a super well coached team from the long 10+ minute highlight videos ive seen.

Good points.. I didn't consider HIS team when I was about to make a post.. because the competition is also a bunch of Bieber clones who I'm not sure have hit puberty yet.

I'm sure Herro will be nice.. but I think the college game is going to be very cruel to him for his first year or two. Hope I'm wrong. And maybe when he has a better Kentucky team around him, he can flourish. Actually, does anyone have tape of him playing against better competition?
 
Then a Herro comes along
With the the strength to carry on
Then you finally see the truth
That a Herro lies in you
Ohhhhh that a Herro lies in yoooou!

There are several tapes of him playing against blacks. Including one when Shaq is coaching against him. He can play no matter what

I love a guy who can get dribble separation and then pull up on a dime and stick a mid range jumper. Lots of money to be made with that.

He played just as good on the NIke EYBL league
 
I’m tempering my expectations for him as a freshman but I’m really glad we’ve got this kid coming in. He’s going to be a really important player as a sophomore/junior. I hope we get a Herro-like player in every class.

I think.He could avg 10 a game just off jumpers. Hes a skilled player. Booker like, just not as athletic.

I have watched many of the tapes posted and he looks awesome on offense. My only question is the level of competition. I mean I remember a number of years ago there was a Kentucky kid who averaged over 40 points per game as a Senior High School player and was pretty much nothing in college and was not even sought after by UK. Also, as we know, Cal is all about defense, so hopefully Herro can move his feet and defend. I wish he was on this year's team though, as having a reliable outside shooter would be nice.
If you're worried about competition go watch the teams Zion Williamson plays against in high school and you'll feel better.

Mods please ban for using terrible music in a herro thread, and putting tony soprano with that shitty music. TIA

I agree, I think he has better handles than booker did though. Not that Booker was bad with the ball. Herro comes across as very fluid with the ball--no awkward movements. From what limited videos I've seen at the very least.

I'm interested to see if he continues to rise up the rankings. I'm very excited to have him!
 
Looks like a great shooter but the other team showed zero defense in that video. Herro reminded me of some Rex Chapman games where he was just way better than anyone else on either team.
 
Is his defense pretty good?
I always see him owning on offense, but I just hope he doesn't give up as much as he outputs on O.

Like literally 90% of incoming freshmen he will have to learn to play it . I can count on my fingers the number of kids who have played as freshmen who could guard. Doesn't matter as just like you played Murray , Booker , Monk ect even though they were bad defenders the same goes for Herro. And Herro is a better scorer then any of those guys.

Sounds great. If he can outshoot Booker I will do flips... not really, I am too fat.
