DJO with a great Twitter response to Kaminsky.

DJO with a great Twitter response to Kaminsky.
Yes. Incredible.
-
And Kaminsky backed down.
-
And Frank now deleted his tweet.......first Vander, then Stone, Henry and now Herro.......every time a kid doesn't choose to be Badger that fan base covers themselves in glory.....
Obviously they are going to be disappointed but for an NBA player to insult a kid on twitter? Seriously?
-
Grimes better hurry and commit before Herro takes his spot.

What did Frank say?

How soft of him.

Frank responded to Herro with “#soft”.

Yep called him soft....'obviously changing your mind means you aren't tough enough to go to UW.....

Frank responded to Herro with “#soft”.
What did DJO say in response?

Life is good!

Frank in response to Herro de-commit: "#soft"
DJO in response to Frank: "Whats wrong with y'all he is a high school kid smh. Hold on let me correct my English, I forgot I was a JUCO kid. What is wrong with you all, he is a high school kid lol"
-
What did DJO say in response?
He said "What's wrong with y'all? He's just a kid" Then immediately responded, "Wait, I forgot, I'm a JUCO. Let me correct my English. What's wrong with you, he's just a kid lol"

DJO in response to Frank: "Whats wrong with y'all he is a high school kid smh. Hold on let me correct my English, I forgot I was a JUCO kid. What is wrong with you all, he is a high school kid lol"
This is the direct quote of the responses.
So good. Not sure I've ever respected DJO any more than I do now...

His tweet is an absolute gold mine for badger takes. Here is a list of my favorite so far:
"Disrespecting an elite, yet respected program, in ur home state. Have fun at the soup kitchen sitting between Vander Blue and Diamond Stone."
"Way to be selfish and make your parents and family fly all over the country to watch you play. You could have at least stayed home for them."
"What aren't smart enough to get in like Diamond Stone?"
"No diamond stone couldn't get a high enough ACT score for Wisconsin which has higher standards than alot of schools"
"Never heard of you until 2 minutes ago and I'm blown away by your decision... Disappointed."
"Thing is all these stars go to Marquette since grades do not matter there. They never win or do well. Go pro then they go to Europe. Bye"
"You’re gonna start your first game like Hayward today"
UWM fan - "Come to Milwaukee." hahaha

Do the recruiting experts think this guy is going to play for Marquette?

I can't see him coming to Marquette. I'm pretty sure this was about him wanting to get to a blue blood.

Noticed Indiana was on his list. Going to IU and taking them back to prominence while Wisconsin fades would be awesome on several levels.

MU lands Grimes, and they might be on their way to being a blue blood.

This night has been known to be coming for months... very bizarre situation.

Schadenfreude...

Glad to see the young man had the courage to de commit. Not an easy thing to do in your home state. Hopefully he finds a school that is a better fit for him.

Word has it that my friend Cheesy will have something to say about this tomorrow. We can only hope! There were a lot of people on this board all over him when discussing the chance Herro could possibly do this and maybe open up a path back to MU. It is now a possibility and we can only hope it comes to fruition. This guy may be a prep genius at predicting these things and deserves our utmost respect going forward.

I could see us oversigning for Grimes, but Herro?

Yeah, not Likely.

This makes me chuckle.

If we lose out on Grimes, we would absolutely take Herro if he walked through our door.

Herro will commit to either kentucky or duke guaranteed, remember this post.

No, that's not what happened Cheesy. The first person to report this possibility was Freeport and it was widely believed and accepted. What people reacted to was your instance that Herro "put Wisconsin high school basketball on the map."

Odd board. Some saying that Herro was scared off, because he realized he wouldn't get playing time at UW. Others saying Herro is likely to go to a blue-blood and thinks he is a one-n-done. Others saying the sky is falling and UW is doomed.
Not sure how you could have such a solid team that you scare off someone that thinks they can play at UK/Duke, and still be doomed.
Interesting group of fans, those UW folk.

Evan Flood had an article on 247. He claims that Herro believed that "Wisconsin basketball culture" would keep him from getting minutes. Essentially he didn't trust that Gard would start him over upperclassmen because that's just how Wisconsin does things.
I really think this comes down to Herro wanting to make the NBA and realizing that Wisconsin may be a successful college program, they have a terrible track record with getting players into the NBA and being successful.
-
Herro will commit to either kentucky or duke guaranteed, remember this post.
I stated in another thread that after watching Herro, I thought he looked and acted like a Duke guy. Still guessing he ends up there if academics aren't a problem.

I'm thinking its UNC, and this was planned or awhile pending the results of NCAA sanctions.

From buckyville:
"But what pisses me off more than anything is that's its becoming crystal clear the Roy Williams thinks he can come into this state any time he wants and flash the old UNC logo and sign our best players. Koenig was able to resist it but not Tokoto or or probably Herro in this instance. And why? It's not like there are hundreds of players out there from around the country in UNC more traditional recruiting areas. What does he think he takes advantage of recruiting against UW? In the past it was obvious by my Lord didn't we beat them the last time we clashed in the tournament? On a team with Tokoto on it? Reminds me of a Bible parable "There was once a poor man who had a single lamb. The lamb wasn't just livestock to the poor man. He let the lamb drink from his cup and eat from his. It was a member of his family. There was a rich in the same town who was having a feast for a friend of his. Rather than take one his own lambs to butcher for the feast, he simply took the poor man's only lamb." Sheesh! It's like he does this to rub our noses in it."
It's just so beautiful over there.

That is priceless.

It's going to be very entertaining beating Bucky in the coming years with the strength of our program once again trending upwards. They have no commitments in the Class of 2018 now.

They just got a commitment last week from Joe Hedstrom, an unranked center out of MN who was offered by Utah, Boise State, South Dakota, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Cleveland State, Columbia, Denver, and Loyola Marymount. Impressive.
-
What is pretty funny is that a lot of people here think that we would be gracious if this happened to us.
In our midst, there would certainly be a lot of childish responses.
Sure, I'm going to revel in their loss, but maaaaaaaaaaybe understand that a lot of our fan base would respond like the Badger fans have.

They also convinced him to walk on his first year. I will never get how Bucky gets so many guys who could get full rides at smaller schools to walk on for a year or more.

I don't know. When we've had players transfer or decommit in the past I know there are a lot of "we'll be better without him" type posts, but I don't remember anyone attacking their character or saying they were too dumb to go to Marquette.
-

Ahh, didn't realize he was walking on. Very selfless of Hedstrom to pay his tuition for a year while Joey Hauser and Tyler Herro get their 2 available scholarships for the class of 2018...
-
Ahh, didn't realize he was walking on.
It's a "four for five" deal. Walks on his first year (and likely redshirts) and has been promised a scholarship starting in his second year. He might just get the scholarship outright now that Herro is gone.

I remember running over to Cudahy Hall in 1997 and logging on to a VAX machine and torching LeDaryl when he de-committed.

-
UNC looks at a lot of guys , but they put out few real offers. Lots of recruits use their interest to leverage a real offer from some one else. That might be the case with Herro. Either way I don’t see Herro as a guy fitting into the MU program. The common trait of all the Wojo recruits is they are all team oriented players.
-

Dont worry, once they lost Hauser they had a whole thread listing why Marquette sucks and their superiority. Head to head record recently was conveniently left off. They are doubling down now.

One difference between the UW and MU fanbases is that we don't labor under the misconception that one must be a rocket scientist to play basketball here.
-

Seriously, don't be stupid.
You might, but Wojo wouldn't. That ran it's course long ago.

Many of us called the decommit in July. His dad was talking about it in gyms all summer. Dad never liked the WI commit; always thought is was stupid and way too early. But I knew the "Herro wasn't an academic fit" excuses would start up. They aren't completely wrong, but they let in far less academically accomplished players. The facts are that he did have a low initial ACT, but he increased it significantly and was completely on track. Underbelly stuff that Bucky will never acknowledge is that a few of their recent stars not named Kaminsky told Herro UW wasn't the place for two-and-done NBA players to thrive, ie. coming here will not help your NBA dreams. These guys will deny this all day long because of the PR, but these guys think WI stunted their development. The Trevor Anderson transfer did not help. The missing on Joey did not help. Missing on Laszewski did not help. Herro's friendship with Tokoto did not help. And if the Bucky community is honest with themselves, Herro is just not a WI system guy. He's a pull-up from 24 with 29 seconds left on the shot clock just because he's feeling it, kind of guy. He's also not particularly interested in playing lock down D. Just not a Bucky guy. My phone was blazing last night, but this certainly put a smile on my face. My guess is Kentucky, but that is all it is.
-

I watched him this summer a couple times. He reminded me of a really good tight end who also plays basketball. Athletic, runs floor well and puts in maximum effort. Would seem like the perfect UW system guy to develop.

Bucky fan tears are just so delicious.

And will likely be a pain in our ass for three years after a redshirt year and a freshman year where he looks lost. It’s the Badger way.
-
My guess is Kentucky, but that is all it is.
My guess is UNC and it dropped now because it looks like UNC cleared any NCAA threats. I think Kentucky is likely option 1B.

There isn't usually widespread vitriol from Marquette when MU misses out on a recruit. Most know that the program will survive, that you don't burn bridges because transfers happen, and scoopers have learned that family reads message boards.

I scanned a couple pages on the Buckyville board this morning and couldn’t help but wonder if this deep seated superiority complex that is so evident existed before 1990 or is it a more recent phenomenon. It sounds like how many of you have described ND fans, except without the actual championships.
Can any of the more seasoned MU fans provide insight?

Sports didn't exist at UW before 1990.
Additionally, most of their adult fans raised their children to believe that UW is some historically great school... and when confronted about it they say stupid things like, "UW has as many NCAA championships as Marquette!"... which always gets a laugh.
Well, that and a ton of their fans are hayseeds that never attended UW-Madison.

Isn’t this true? I mean I get that the nit was a bigger deal and non white players couldn’t play but without sounding wayyy too intense how would you counter that?

That's the issue I see. Some UW-Oshkosh kid that dropped out after Sophomore year somehow identifies with Madison like it's 'his' school.

Back then you only had to beat two teams to win the National Championship. Not as impressive back then as others.

That makes it no different than many other state universities though. Maybe not in Illinois, but Ohio State, Penn State, Alabama, Nebraska, etc. When its the only Division 1 public university in the state, people are going to identify with it.

Agreed, we have a large "little brother" problem. Always demanding respect from Bucky (and ND previously) vs just going about our business.

I meant to add "football playing" but thank you for the correction. The larger point is that large public universities have followings outside of their alumni base.

Ohio University, Miami, Akron, Kent, Bowling Green, Toledo, Cincinnati, Youngstown State.

It happens in every state with the big state school. I even cheer for UW football. And btw, you guys at Whitewater have a helluva sports program. ;D
My point is that these fans on the fringe are often less informed about the program and things like the commentary following events like this week are more likely.

Auburn’s in Alabama? Huh things make more sense now

There are two types of UW fans.
Group A, the season ticket holders for basketball, respect the hell out of Marquette. They saw Bo's limitations, they miss the "old" Big Ten (without Nebraska, Rutgers, Penn State and even Maryland, because they got to play everybody twice). I heard from two different people that they showed the end of the Nova game at the Kohl Center during a timeout and people loudly cheered. A lot of these people grew up in the 70s and MU is their second favorite team.
Group B, is everyone else. These are people that "watch" basketball from January to March, after football season. They base their opinion off of one Marquette game that they watch 10 minutes of. They assume all Marquette players are "thugs" based off of haircuts of the 10 minutes that they watch. This group thinks Wisconsin and the Big 10 are the best at everything. They are fed by media members, like Tom Oates. Unfortunately, most fans are in Group B and those of us in Wisconsin work/ see Group B daily.
-

Exactly. Just about everyone in Connecticut is a UConn fan, and obviously most didn't go there. It's natural to root for your state school, unless they are a direct rival of the school you did attend. I rooted for UConn before we joined the Big East and root for them again now that they've left.
-
Isn’t this true? I mean I get that the nit was a bigger deal and non white players couldn’t play but without sounding wayyy too intense how would you counter that?
Technically, it is true... But it wasn't considered the National Championship game. The NCAA didn't become the more prestigious tournament until the 50's and you could make the argument that the NCAA only became the 'law of the land' after the 1970 season where MU told the NCAA to get bent for trying to send our boys down to Texas instead of Dayton. The year after the NCAA made new rules that said you had to accept the bid or not play in the post season.
8 team tournament, no shot clock, second year of the tournament, and a 39-34 victory.
weak sauce tournament

8 team tournament, no shot clock, second year of the tournament, and a 39-34 victory.
weak sauce tournament
I think it was the third year of the tournament with Oregon winning in 1939. And Badger games can still be just as low scoring today. ;D
But for the most part, you're spot on.
-
yeah...i have an under grad from uw-whitewater...yet to know anyone from whitewater who thinks they went to uw-madison. many did enjoy hoping in their cars on weekends to go see a badger football game and hang out with friends attending uw-madison. get over it.
I used to work for a guy that got his degree from Whitewater. In his bio, he always stated that he earned his degree from the "University of Wisconsin". Period.
I'm sure he's not the only one.

Technically, it is true... But it wasn't considered the National Championship game. The NCAA didn't become the more prestigious tournament until the 50's and you could make the argument that the NCAA only became the 'law of the land' after the 1970 season where MU told the NCAA to get bent for trying to send our boys down to Texas instead of Dayton. The year after the NCAA made new rules that said you had to accept the bid or not play in the post season.

UW played the first two games at home in the Fieldhouse, then played Washington State in KC.

It happens in every state with the big state school. I even cheer for UW football. And btw, you guys at Whitewater have a helluva sports program. ;D
My point is that these fans on the fringe are often less informed about the program and things like the commentary following events like this week are more likely.
I live in a state where the state school is the only state school not even named after the state. I think most residents are grateful that most people don't know where Rutgers is located.

My sister graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin. The diploma in her office says "University of Tennessee" in huge letters across the top. And in tiny letters along the bottom, it says "granted at the Martin campus".

Depending on what you major in Whitewater and Madison are equal.

Ohio here...
Ohio University, Miami, Akron, Kent, Bowling Green, Toledo, Cincinnati, Youngstown State.
Your point is fairly solid. Your example wasn't.
I guess there is a slight difference between Ohio State and the rest of the programs you mentioned.
Could be the reason they identify with tOSU.

I think there are a lot of MU fans and Scoop users (including myself) who did not get their degree from Marquette.
I also got my degree from Whitewater and there are a lot of people that identify with UW Madison. But there were a good number of Marquette fans as well.

I've never understood the idea that some seem to have on here that if you didn't attend a school you're to be looked down on as a fake fan. I wish every kid that loves basketball in Milwaukee would be a Marquette fan.

I don't view it as a fake fan. I just think it's a little ironic when a UW-extension alum takes shots at MU's academics. Especially the comments like, "He only went to MU so he didn't have to go to class."
I always got a kick out of alums from those schools that would talk during Buzz's time about the off the court problems. Hearing them talk down about the Apartment 720 incident and things like that, but act like UW players never stepped a toe out of line was always the worst. Granted, some things did need to get cleaned up under Buzz.

That's exactly it.
The other thing that drives me nuts is the "have ta root for da state's teams" people that then go rip on MU.
-
I went to UW-O but have been a big Marquette fan since I went to a game as a 10 year old (and dozens thereafter). Whenever I wear MU apparel, people always assume that I am a Marquette graduate. It gets kind of annoying to have to explain that I am just a fan of the bball team.
-
I personally have no problem with people being fans of schools did not graduate from. I grew up in MN and am a Gopher fan for most of their major sports (certainly not as passionate as I am for MU hoops, but fan nonetheless). My issues are when one of these fans attack another program and act all high and mighty like "my program would never do this", it gets a little annoying. The example of a UW-whatever grad always blaming players going elsewhere due to academics is perfect. As if they even know.

I don't care where they went to school. I hate Badgers because they are Badgers. Isn't that how a rivalry works?

I agree with this as well. I know ALOT of aquaintances, family and friends who all attended MU that know very little about, and have little interest in MUBB. In fact, other than this board, some of the biggest fans that I know are not MU alums.
I cant help but think that the Bob Dukiet years had something to do with that age bracket's lack of interest--at least in my family.

I'll actually be on Madison's campus this evening. I will keep an eye out for basketball players walking around with backpacks overstuffed with Astrophysics textbooks while dribbling a basketball with one hand and helping old ladies cross the street with the other arm.

Are they really getting in a twitter spat with Nobal Days dad? Dumb. A few years ago, according to Ganzer, MU lost out on a recruit because of message board chatter. If Wiscy doesn't even get a sniff from Days thanks to a paternal veto because of this, will they accept at least partial responsibility? Probably not part of the 'Wisconsin way' that they learned from Bo. Which apparently is lying and tearing down anybody who goes elsewhere.

I don't know if this is who Tower is referring to, but I remember a rumor that we lost out on Carson Desrosiers because of people talking poorly about him on message boards. Ended up being a solid backup center at Wake Forest before transferring to Providence where he was a decent defensive center.

Google Al Days Twitter. @AlleyD1766.
Its actually pretty harmless. No one really attacks Al Days, just a couple guys saying its bush league to decommit a month before signing day. Most are fairly positive. The twitter responses to Herro himself were much better.

There really is no reason for a D1 athlete (current or prospective) to read message boards. What good can come from it? But I can admit I'd see that it'd be hard to avoid.

Thanks. I couldn't remember who (a result of aging, probably), but I knew that Ganzer (IWB) swore up and down that the content of a MU message board torpedoed a possible recruit. And while it is true that parents of prospective recruits SHOULDN"T hang around on message boards (for the sake of their own sanity), we all know that simply isn't true. Have we so soon forgotten the family member of John Dawson? (no, not NERS, the other one)
Right now, Wisconsin fans are in meltdown. Famous UW Basketball alumni are staying stupid crap. Let them be an example to us about what NOT to do.
Our poop stinks. We will lose out on recruits. There will be transfers. (every year for how many now?) There will be academic issues. Young men will behave irresponsibly. Coaches leave. Accept all of these things as inevitable, irrefutable, unavoidable truths.
And for the love of all that is holy, try not to be as dumb as bucky fans when things go astray.

Too bad he's that insecure. Being your boss you'd think he'd just rub it in a bit. I always gave my friends from MU crap about what they were paying for their education...and they would remind me of the average ACT score at Whitewater. I have a PhD from MU...regularly am around others who have then from Ivy league schools...don't feel one bit bad about my academic background.

Nor should you, that is quite impressive.
I think the disconnect is when fans of UW program claim that players "can't get into UW"... when they know nothing about the process. I live in the Madison area and its the same circle jerk every time someone spurns UW for a different program. They make excuses, belittle, and berate the kid. You can see evidence of this behavior below.

Now, that being said, when the MU student section chants REALLY stupid things like, "PUBLIC SCHOOL, PUBLIC SCHOOL" at the Badgers, I die a little inside. Its so cringe-worthy to make fun of a school and program that is measurably on par or better than yours... Like, was that supposed to be an insult?

I Apologize for being late to the table but when someone disses Whitewater alum I need to weigh in. I have 2 degrees from UWW and have been a season ticket holder since 1975. I’m a MU fan, attended every Big East Tourney in NYC and believe that MU is a gem for MKE and the best game in town. I’m proud to be both a MU fN and a grad from UWW. Please don’t automatically link me with the Badgers and don’t shun my support!

Just to be clear on Carson, the chatter on here was about the alleged assaults and a team out of control. And other dysfunction which is why his mom didn’t want him here. In fact, there were many elements of truth and then Buzz bailed. Scoop wasn’t far off.
-
There are two types of UW fans.
Group A, the season ticket holders for basketball, respect the hell out of Marquette. They saw Bo's limitations, they miss the "old" Big Ten (without Nebraska, Rutgers, Penn State and even Maryland, because they got to play everybody twice). I heard from two different people that they showed the end of the Nova game at the Kohl Center during a timeout and people loudly cheered. A lot of these people grew up in the 70s and MU is their second favorite team.
Group B, is everyone else. These are people that "watch" basketball from January to March, after football season. They base their opinion off of one Marquette game that they watch 10 minutes of. They assume all Marquette players are "thugs" based off of haircuts of the 10 minutes that they watch. This group thinks Wisconsin and the Big 10 are the best at everything. They are fed by media members, like Tom Oates. Unfortunately, most fans are in Group B and those of us in Wisconsin work/ see Group B daily.
I legitimately know no one my age (45) or younger in Western Wisconsin in Group A. If I did, I wouldn't dislike them so much.

I remember running over to Cudahy Hall in 1997 and logging on to a VAX machine and torching LeDaryl when he de-committed.
Yeah, that one hurt, he was going to be the Mr. Inside to go with Mr. Outside, Brain Wardle. The truth is LeDaryl's stepdad queered that one by pushing him too hard toward Marquette.

Isn’t this true? I mean I get that the nit was a bigger deal and non white players couldn’t play but without sounding wayyy too intense how would you counter that?

I'll take my chances with UW sitting at 0 committed 2018 players and a walk on offer spot to Hedstrom over the Badgers having kept Herro committed, convinced Joey to join him, and given Hedstrom the same walk on spot he has with 2 open scholarships sitting there to still be used.

https://247sports.com/Article/Options-For-the-Wisconsin-Badgers-Following-Tyler-Herros-De-Comm-109093123
I know I shouldn't laugh at the misfortune of others but there are some cold takes in here by Evan Flood.
Tim Finke is the top target. Possible but his brother plays for Illinois and I can't imagine that he would love the fact that Wisconsin stopped recruiting him when Herro committed.
Jericole Hellems, 4-star forward from St. Louis was next. This article was posted on October 18th and Flood said "things have been moving very slow and the three-star small forward may not even sign until the spring." Hellems committed to NC State on October 20th.
The 3rd target is 4.5 star Ayo Dosunmu. Flood at least admits that it is a long shot. Ayo committed to Illinois literally the day after this article was written.
The last two are two guys who have already trimmed their lists and are expected to make decisions in the fall. If this is truly where the Badgers are at with their Class of 2018, then they are going to have to hope for some late bloomers in the spring....which they will of course find because that's what they do. Even so, it really seems like this whole "we are only recruiting you, Joey" thing really bit them in the arse.

Just because a blood blood is interested in a player doesn't necessarily mean he is a quality player. Remember, they are also looking for practice players ( they don't tell the kid that until he is there). Herro is the kind of gullible kid who will fall for the recruiting pitch.
There are plenty of great players in the NBA who did not go to blue bloods.
Buffalo made the NCAA tournament the last two years so it is not like they are chopped liver.

Herm - it's certainly possible that you're right and the scouts/recruiting services/coaches are wrong. Time will tell. But Kentucky, Arizona, Kansas, etc., aren't recruiting Herro to be a practice player. And they (and lower profile high D1 schools) didn't recruit your guy at all. So there it is.

Open to the public! Who of you is going?

Likely Sam and Joey, ai na?

Badger fans showing their usual Twitter class...

Its obvious, since he has decommited from the badgers he has taken only 1 visit and it was too kentucky... would be surprised if it was anywhere else

You mean the same ones that are mad at FOX because the Michigan game is at 11am. Others, here is the kicker, that don't believe the game is on FOX because ESPN College Gameday will be in Madison.

That is kinda weird, isn't it? I don't watch CFB, so don't know the usual set up.

That happens frequently. Game Day wants to go where the big game is each week. What network airs the game no matta.

If anyone is around Madison on Thursday, tickets for the X game are $8 right now on StubHub.

Kentucky, it is:

Lies. cheesy and tommy said he would maybe come to MU! I don't believe he would sign with Kentucky without taking an unofficial to MU to tour cafferys pub or have some chili and sign as a walk on.

Phew, glad he's staying out of the BE

I know a lot of folks at MU feel this way. Especially at one particular school

Now that this is over.....This thread needs to have serious consideration for "best thread title of 2017" during the annual awards ceremony.

I'm going to miss this thread when it finally fades away. "Herro go again" still makes me chuckle every time I read it. (I imagine someone smacking their forehead with their palm, then shaking their head in exasperation before delivering the line.)
-
I normally always hope for happy ending for local kids regardless of where they go. For some reason, this one seems weird to me. I’m not wishing bad luck to the kid, but throwing less positive vibes his way than most local kids that go elsewhere. Just a funny feeling about this kid and the recruitment.

Don’t be so sure about the fade, at least according to Badger fans. After washing out at Kentucky, they have him already pencilled in with a transfer to MU. Mayor McCheese may become the Rasputin of Scoop.

About time to get this over to the superbar, eh?

My Badger-fan co-workers are still claiming that TH didn't have a high enough ACT score to get in to UW-Madison, causing the de-committal. They're also wondering why all of his finalist schools in his re-recruitment were "Nike schools" (as is his AAU team), insinuating that under-the-table $$$ is driving the deal.

Reminds me of the time Crazy Cabbie went on Howard and bragged about ripping off the IRS. Real smart move.

Read Herro's quotes about where he wanted to be. He wasn't coming to MU even if MU showed up in a limo at his house at midnight and rolled a 4 wheeler out of a semitruck for Wojo to ride from the limo to his front porch. It was Kentucky or Kansas.

I'm glad we didn't pursue. Going after Grimes made sense based on the makeup of the team. Not so much for Herro. Recruiting is about more than rankings.

I wasn't close to any of this Herro stuff. Did we put forth a strong effort to recruit him?

We expressed interest well over a year ago before he committed to Wisconsin. We put forth zero effort to recruit him since then.

I agree with you. We need to get better talent and having a UK recruit in the backyard is always worth the effort. That was a strange deal , IMO
-

I don't understand the moaning by some over this recruitment.
MU recruited him, and he didn't seem all that interested
Then, he commits to UW
He then drops UW, looking for a bigger, more national program
A month later, signs with UK
Other than early-on, when was MU supposed to recruit him? When committed to UW? After he dumps UW looking for more exposure?
Not everyone is interested in MU. That's fine.

Freeport's (Who has seen Herro play as to many that Haven't) Postings convinced me we did the Right thing.

Between comments like the ones Loose Cannon referred to and other rumblings I heard not on this board, I agree that we did the right thing not recruiting him.
But in general, I agree with you. By the time he became available again, we were full on scholarships and the only person we were recruiting was Quentin Grimes. Going after Herro at that point made no sense. I really think the only reason it's even been discussed is because of the likely family member or classmate that was posting on here that MU should be interested at an obsessive level. Anything in the past year regarding MU and Herro was a complete non-starter.
-
When 2 of your core players want nothing to do with the kid....then you don't recruit him....it's really not that hard.
Culture and chemistry matter not just talent.

I agree with this statement. He is a heartless bastard who left me at the altar.

Herro isn't that good. Can only shoot.
