Herro announces

No point. Just wanted to reinforce the idea that no one knows what is going to happen and anyone could be overshadowed by someone else.
Let's just get them all back. That could improve our chances.
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
We will have to disagree. Personally, I listed them among the legitimate title contenders in February, and they made it to OT in the Title game. So they were a contender in my book.
Edit: Actually it was March 3rd when I listed Texas Tech as a “legitimate contender.” Some others were on them before I was. Their offense was so bad early that it was hard for me to believe in them.

Definitely. I was paying attention to TT in early February. I saw that they were legit.
No surprise. I think he’s gone. I’m sorry I don’t remember the poster, but I believe I saw a post here in the last few weeks that Cal hasn’t had a single player at UK projected in the 1st round come back. Regardless of where, everyone is projecting Herro and KJ in the 1st round. I’m just glad Hagans is coming back.
I think it said no freshman. TJ certainly was, but was WCS after his freshman year. I won’t quibble. I still think Herro and KJ won’t be back.
Two years in a row, Cal has recruited a 4 star he planned to have 2-3 years, that developed much faster than expected. Might have to look at a 3 star.
Poythress (most of his freshman year) was projected high 1st round
I won’t argue with that either, but I suspect they want to make money more than they want to win a title.
Herro said that if wasn't a high pick he is coming back. Yet some on here say he is gone for sure. Without knowing how all the teams feel about all available players and not knowing how many foreign players will be drafted high that hardly anybody knows about, why would anybody say he is gone for sure? A lot of people have been around long enough to know that a lot of players drop a lot that are told they will go higher. Will depend on his workouts. Will they have very tough defenders locking him up and have him guarding very good offensive players in the workouts? Will he all the sudden learn how to play against aggressive defenders and learn how to stay in front of quicker players on defense? Just a lot of variables to happen. He could be a development league journey man and a foreign team player if he isn't picked high enough by the right team. How many times have we seen a guy get drafted and traded immediately even after the team that drafted him led them on how they wanted them?
My daughter showed me Herro’s Instagram story from tonight. He was walking into a party. He was wearing a $500 Gucci belt and a pair of $600 Gucci shoes. He is gone.
What I meant by unintended irony I will apologize for: cynical reference to screw job in championship game.
This isn’t anything new. Briscoe was doing the same thing. Hell, Herro has been taking pics of him in front of a Mercedes G-class all year. I’m not saying that UK is out giving money and stuff, but they’re definitely getting money from somewhere. Fox was wearing a 1000$ designer glasses when he was here. There’s money coming from somewhere.
Yeah, we probably won’t win a game. Why don’t you wait and see who we end up with before you solidify you’re pity party.
Jones was because possible lock out WCS wasn’t a first rounder till his junior year!
They get a stipend and I’d say Herro gets his from his parents since they didn’t have to pay for their education and Herro drives a Malibu it was in a article I read on how he was treated after picking UK!
Amazingly the kid probably doesn’t know anything about life except how to shoot a basketball. Who in their right mind would wear something that holds up your pants that costs 600$? Obviously he’s young and has a golden ticket but I’d like to think that if i traded places with him, I’d be a little more humble. Maybe I wouldn’t but I would hope so.
The new stipends are supposed to close the gap between scholarship money and what it actually costs to attend school. The stipends, available at most of the country major sports programs, range from about $2,000 to $5,000 a year, although some schools are reportedly offering a few thousand more than that.
I think it’s obvious Herro is gone. Players can sign with agents for advice and to set up work outs and meetings. Teams pay for travel expenses. If that is all the player gets, they are eligible to return to school if they want.
If the player is all in, the agent can give a money advance. If Herro is just now wearing Gucci belts and Gucci shoes, he definitely got a money advance.

That’s peanuts compared to the $30,000 cash Thomas of Duke gave for his jewelry on top of the $70,000 loan that no other college student could get.
