Missing Tyler Herro

[Heisenberg]

If that's the case, why isn't Kentucky better?  If he is the missing piece for our 3 and 4 star talent, why isn't he taking them to the promised land with all of their 5 star talent?

Exactly my thought

[BCHoopster]

He is a nice player, would have helped MU or Wisky, but he is not a game changer.  There are not many of them except a few kids at Duke, right now he is a little ahead of Quentin Grimes, who might have been a tad overrated.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Imagine not being satisfied with the amount of attention your family member is getting at Kentucky (of all places), such that you have to go to a board for a nonrival school to start posts about him a year after his recruitment ended? This after all of your prior trolling efforts failed as well. Bizarre.

[cheebs09]

Wait until the NBA draft and they have to post on all the teams that passed on him or didn't trade up. Even if he doesn't declare.

Herro's father Chris appears to run the show (case in point:  https://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article219505905.html).  I think that may be a big reason Wojo stayed away, or may explain the stories we hear about the Hausers.  Having "handlers" doesn't seem like the MU way these days, while Kentucky probably has staff dedicated to handling handlers.  Also, CCAP is your friend.

After the Ellensons, I can see why the staff didn't want to deal with it.

Fits the profile, his son is his last chance at anything really.

Can you miss something you never had?    Oh, wait, didn't we already do this argument?

We would have missed out on Chris Herro's rap sheet if Cheesy Tommy hadn't reconstituted this conversation.  So there's that.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I don't think Herro/Joey were an either/or deal like some have suggested. I think Herro was interested in playing for a blue blood and got his wish.

However, just in case it was an either/or, I think we may have gotten the better end of the deal.

Joey: 27.9 mpg, 10.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.3 apg, 0.5 spg, 0.1 bpg, 2.0 tpg, 60.5 eFG%
Herro: 28.8 mpg, 13.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 2.1 apg 1.3 spg, 0.5 bpg, 1.5 tpg, 52.8 eFG%

I think both are great players with good chances of playing in the Association. I would love to have both on this team. If we could only have one, I think I'd rather have Joey.

Joey: 27.9 mpg, 10.5 ppg, 6.1 rpg, 2.3 apg, 0.5 spg, 0.1 bpg, 2.0 tpg, 60.5 eFG%

Tyrese Haliburton and his 144.2 ORtg thinks those numbers are cute.

I'm sure he'd be an asset to any program, but his offensive rating is a lot like Matt Heldt's last year. Impressive, but with a virtually non-existent usage rate.

Is striving to match/exceed Heldt's run during his glory years a bad thing? Haliburton is averaging 9/4/4 on the traditional stat line w a ridiculous eFG%.  Back-to-back double-digit efforts to kickoff conference play seem to indicate he's not hit a freshman wall just yet. Seems like a steal for the Cyclones TBH

Definitely a steal for the Cyclones. Playing way better than his #173 composite ranking would have suggested.

The player that we really missed out in that group is Marial Shayok. He was great at Virginia and is now a dude at Iowa State. He was the Buzz recruit that I hoped Wojo could retain more than any of the others.

Was it him or Hill that didn't even give us the time of day when Buzz left?

[Spotcheck Billy]

CCAP is your friend.

Obviously KY pays more than WI was offering

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Honestly both. Hill immediately followed Buzz. Shayok took Wojos calls but decided he was heading elsewhere pretty quickly.

To be fair, mr herro only has 1 criminal conviction.   Dude just doesnt want to pay his bill...to anyone.

KY money has already been brandished, most likely.

[Cheeks]

Nah. If Herro were all that, KY Would be #1 right now.

I definitely don't want to insinuate that UK did anything wrong in the recruitment, or that anyone gave or has agreed to give $, because I really have no idea.  However, I do think that most schools would look at such significant financial issues and be more than a little worried, especially given the fact that we've very recently seen players' parents brokering side deals that put both the player and the program in jeopardy.  Especially with a player of Herro's caliber, where there are likely to be some less-than-wholesome business folk lining up to "help" him.  If nothing else, it might push him to enter the draft this year, which is probably not in his best interests.
