Tyler Herro signs with KENTUCKY

by: Mrs. Tyler Thompson11/14/17@MrsTylerKSR

After a whirlwind courtship, Tyler Herro just became the third member of Kentucky’s 2018 recruiting class. In a ceremony at his school, the four-star shooting guard picked the Cats over Kansas, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Villanova, signing his letter of intent on the spot.

After an impressive showing at a USA Basketball minicamp in early October, Herro decommited from home state Wisconsin on October 17. Nine days later, Kenny Payne reached out and on October 31, John Calipari offered him a scholarship. This past weekend, Herro took an official visit to Kentucky and, apparently, saw everything he needed to make it official. For a player who strives to be the next Devin Booker, it was the perfect storm.

Herro joins Immanuel Quickley and Keldon Johnson in Kentucky’s 2018 class. He’s ranked the fourth best shooting guard and the 27th overall player in the class by ESPN, but his stock rose after an impressive showing at a USA Basketball minicamp in early October, where he played alongside Quickley, Johnson, Zion Williamson, Bol Bol, and other UK targets.

“Herro is a crafty dependable scorer who loves to run in transition and create in the half court set,” ESPN’s scouting report reads. “His ability to score at all three levels makes him a tough cover. Herro loves to catch and shoot, than hit you with a ball fake for a mid range pull up or floater. Herro loves to score in bunches and has good offensive instincts to score in a variety of ways.”

Welcome to the fam, Tyler. We apologize in advance for the Herro/hero puns.
