Herard transferring to Maryland

[Willow Grove Dawg]

I don't get it. The dude does not look like a Power 5 basketball player.

Schnider Herard will transfer to Maryland, he tells @247Sports | Story: https://247sports.com/Article/Schnider-Herard-to-transfer-to-Maryland-113965118 …

He’s not a power 5 guy. He’s getting opportunities based on his size alone.

When I see people judge guys’ careers based on early in their careers, I think of Sebastian saiz of OM. Dude was not good early, and a beast before his career was over.

Saiz...
Freshman = 5.7 ppg 5.6 rpg
Soph = 7.6 ppg 5.5 rpg
Junior = 11.7 ppg 8.7 rpg
Senior = 15.1 ppg 11.4 rpg (all sec)

Believe it or not, sometimes guys do take time to develop.

Yeah, those guys are not comparable in any way whatsoever.

You right. Herard was much more highly thought of... Kansas, Indiana, Kansas state, Purdue, Arizona, and others all offered him. Now he’s at very good basketball school. Who are those programs to question your basketball scouting skills though

 

[Faustdog]

Don’t mind me. You’re the one who just compared Herard to a guy who has excellent hands, great footwork, and was comfortable shooting fifteen footers or putting the ball on the floor. Herard is never going to be that guy.

Herard has trouble with basic functions like catching entry passes and not fumbling a rebound out of bounds with no one else around. A much more apt comparison would have been John Reik. We beat Cincinnati for him. On a good day he’s Lincoln Smith who also had high major offers.

But I just can’t imagine looking at Herard and in any way, shape, or form thinking Sebastian Saiz.

Best of luck to Herard at Maryland.

He will probably get better position coaching than he was from George Brooks.....

I like Herard but he plays soft like tissue paper

 

[msstate7]

Saiz as freshman...
19.9 min 5.7 ppg 5.6 rpg .467 shooting %

Herard as freshman...
18.6 min 5.1 ppg 5.0 rpg .549 shooting %

On the shooting %, had herard qualified with enough shots, his shooting % would have been good for 6th in the sec.

BTW, I only used saiz as an example of how guys can progress, not as an example of what herard will become. Herard showed some real flashes of what type of player he could become vs aTm, tenn, bama, and even Kentucky (foul trouble got him in that game though)

ETA... I really like herard, so I am not impartial haha

Poor Maryland thinks they stole one from us...I wish them luck..they’ll need it with him. The way they recruit, he’ll be lucky to ever get a chance

Herard's main issue is his coordination, especially catching the ball. That's something that typically doesn't get much better at his age. Nothing's impossible, but he isn't just a big guy who needs more experience and technique.

Maybe I’m wrong, and yes he was highly recruited, but I don’t see it at all with him. He looked like a shorter version of John Riek for the year and a half he was here.
