Once in a lifetime talent.

So was Henry and look where that got us.

I wouldn't even call Henry that. Once in a lifetime talents are Lebron, Jordan, and Iverson. Players like Lebron and AI single handedly lead their teams to the NBA finals.

No one's a once in a lifetime talent until ChitownSpaceForRent rents space!

Nah

If there really is such a thing as a once-in-a-lifetime talent, wouldn't that be the best player ever?

In hoops, only Michael Jordan qualifies, no?

Not counting Paul Mokeski, of course.

[forgetful]

But is he strong and fast?

I think you could argue certain abilities. Say Dennis Rodman's rebounding ability, Steph Curry's shooting, Wilt Chamberlain's fornicating. Those could all be considered once in a lifetime talents.

Dawson = Magic, but Herro > LeBron

Dawson = Magic, but Herro < Johnny Wolf but > Lebron

Is he better than McCabe?

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Not counting Paul Mokeski, of course.

With his elite level of athleticism, it was almost sad watching other players try to compete.

[wadesworld]

Is he better than McCabe?

Yes.

[NavinRJohnson]

So where is MU with this kid? Once in a lifetime talent. Auburn, Xavier, Florida, and Purdue today. Feel like we are not "all in" on this kid.

So he's a once in a lifetime talent and other teams want him. That is shocking. What the hell is Wojo doing?

I haven't watched Tyler play in person. From the videos I've seen, looks like he's got a great handle, navigates well in traffic, and is a good passer and decision-maker. His shooting form is excellent, almost always finding a way to square up. He shows a quick release and nice range. On defense, he's got an instinct for getting to loose balls.

The apparent downside (possibly a really big one) is that he's not very quick or athletic. I don't think I saw him jump higher than a foot off the ground. That concerns me. A lot. How well would he fit Wojo's system? Can he defend Big East guards? I'm not sure.

But, like I said before, I haven't watched him play in person. And I'm no scout. What do those in the know see?

Excellent point dgies.

I see a sophomore that is very talented in many ways,, body need to mature.   He has 3 years before he steps on the court in college so even in his interview this week he states that he has a lot to work on.  Talent is there, but once in a lifetime player, not even close.  Not sure he will be a star in college yet,  but a good player, yes.   I would say if he is as good as Bronson Koenig then he is pretty good.

I meant once in a lifetime recruit for MU. He is not Kobe or Lebron obviously. Guys at that talent level wouldn't even consider MU though where the program is at right now. Yes all my posts have been about Herro. I want this team to win. We need elite players like this not run of the mill guys. UW is recruiting him stronger right now that needs to change.

So not quite Lebron or Kobe, but better than Wade, JFB and Jae Crowder. Right.

I get a kick out of the point that one college is recruiting somebody harder then the next college.   Are they camping out at Whitnall school or at his house, you can only
do so much?  I am sure all the schools are texting and emailing at about the same pace.   What can any school do differently?   Maybe Louisville does it differently.  I do
agree that local schools have an advantage as they can go to more games then other schools, other schools probably have to watch the budget a little closer and can
not come to every game.

Or in my lifetime, Thompson, Memminger, Chones, Lucas, Tatum, Lee, Ellis, Rivers.  Okay, I'll stop.

Once in a lifetime recruit for MU? Are you drunk, high, or both? That is a brainless statement. Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

Does that mean we'll get past Kansas this time in the Final Four?????

Just checking!

He's just as quick and athletic as a guy like Haanif Cheathem who was just fine as a freshman in the Big East last year.  Bigger, quicker, and more athletic than a guy like Riley LaChance who was very good as a freshman in the SEC.

He's a player.

Not close to any of those kids,  maybe Jeff Sewell, Gary Rosenberger, Allie McGuire.  A nice complimentary player.

Yes.

Ahh alright, I thought it might've been a joke but wasn't sure.
