Herro

[TedBaxter]

From what I was told, Herro never showed much interest in Marquette, even when he was visiting unofficially.  The comment of "didn't really seem like he wanted to be here" while he was visiting.

That would be Grimes

[rocket surgeon]

Couldn't agree more. Herro has the offense, defense, and swag to enjoy a long NBA career. Just the type of 2 guard this program continues to need.

very similar to divincenzo.  i think i'd rather have the eyetalian though.  both can shoot, but donte is one of quickest white boys i've seen.  not sure about herro's defense though doc

No, this was attributed to the Herro unofficial visit(s).  I was told that he was a bit disrespectful to some people involved with the program and by that I was to assume to some of the programs support staff. 

[Lennys Tap]

It was actually Big Daddy who said the Hausers told Wojo they wouldn't be comfortable with him

Well, maybe the Hausers would have been (who knows, total speculation) but that didn't stop Wojo and co. from recruiting them. That's a fact.

Yup, and his wingspan is not good either.

I no longer get excited about being mentioned with elite level recruits. If there isn’t a brother involved, this staff hasn’t really shown the ability to close on highly sought after recruits. Howard and Torrence are exceptional cases as they both reclassified and were offered a spot a year earlier than most other major programs would have offered.

So if I understand correctly ...

Hank, Joey, Markus and Symir don't really count as hits ... but Grimes, Herro, Hagans and Dainja do count as misses.

Good to know the rules going in.

[4everwarriors]

He's a hell of a baller. I stand firm on my critique of Herro, the basketball player.

[Cheeks]

It was treated as gospel by Scoopers who were delusional enough to think we were "in" on Herro. It provided an excuse for not getting him. A BS excuse, but an excuse nonetheless.

We recruited Herro, he picked UW over us, and when he blew up he decommitted from UW and went "blue blood".

No BS at all.  As for UW, they are ALWASYS going to get some players that we don't from certain parts of the state.  This is a provincial state, kids are put in Badger diapers from day one.  That's the way it goes.  Sorry, this isn't the 1970's or 1980's when UW-Madison sucked, they have been easily one of the top 10 programs in the country the last 20 years which is the world we recruit in, not the one Al or KO or Majerus did when UW-Madison was on a 47 year dry spell to the tournament. 

[Cheeks]

Jay Bilas ( I think it was him)  didn't seem so excited yesterday, thought he was taken too high.  We'll see how this kid pans out, but I don't see long term career with him unless it is as a specialist.

Marquette offered Herro early. That's true. How many 5-star in-state players have we not offered in the past 20 years?

By the time he committed & when he reopened his recruitment, Marquette was no longer involved. Similar to Looney. Similar to Stone. Similar to Tokoto. Just because those players once held a Marquette offer doesn't mean Marquette was putting resources into recruiting them once decision time arrived.

I agree, Brew. MU didn't go after Herro the 2nd time around - we knew he wanted a Kentucky (blue blood) situation that we couldn't provide.

But when he decommitted from UW it was pretty obvious he wasn't looking for Marquette. So why waste resources.

I know it is cliche, but heart cannot be measured and this kid plays with a lot of heart. I also give the young man credit for working hard on all aspects of his game. He didn't just settle for being a good shooter.

[Cheeks]

Yes, heart is difficult to measure.  Hopefully he does well, this is certainly his dream and very few get to fulfill their dreams.

[Silkk the Shaka]

Yup, and his wingspan is not good either.

He's got major bust potential, don't see it with him at all

Actually, you can measure a heart with things like cardiac ultrasounds and stress echocardiograms.

that he is, BUT, something about him makes me pause...he has a little bit of cockiness that can go either way AND he does look a little like johnny football.  i wish him well and hope he uses his promotion to his advantage

[forgetful]

I agree. His ceiling is a 10-year solid contributor, don't see him ever being a star. His floor is out of the league in 3 years.  Too much bust potential, without the chance for major upside for a lottery pick.

This was after we knew Joey was coming. Per Big Daddy and it ended up being prophetical:

Surprised we did not hear from Big Daddy over the last couple of days regarding Grimes. Was hoping for insight on what happened and what's the deal with Herro.Guess I will wait to read about in the paper.

Goose I lost a sibling last week unexpectedly.  Mu is important, but family first.  She had a great life and her husband is a fellow warrior. 

Grimes story will have to wait.

Some other items are easier.  Sometimes a hypothetical player say player T makes it clear they want to play with players S&J, but that does not mean Players J&S want the same thing   Sometimes a player will even switch teams to get away from a player.  Coaches know that chemistry is critical.

That was a Big Daddy quote he was the one who lost the sibling

[Skip Intro]

My advice to Herro:  keep your parents away from your money.  A lot of red flags about Pa Herro. 

Part of me thinks that the Herro-Hausers storyline may have had more to do with the parents than their sons.  Especially if the Hauser parents were as involved as their exit from MU suggests.
