Someone tell me a little about him please is he a glorified brad that can play d? I know he's supposed to be an excellent shooter, but what else can he do? The other thing I see is that we will have a few guys return for sure next yr to go with the guys we have got already just trying to see where herro fits in and if he can contribute right away?

AHAHAHA yes a top 25ish kid who can jump and dunk with the best of them and shoots over 40% from 3 is a glorified Brad. Me thinks you are judging him by his looks and not his game which is sad.

Not trying to do so just curious as to what separates him from brad is all

He is a very skilled all around offensive weapon . Can shoot from anywhere on the floor and can drive well and is a pretty sweet dunker to boot. He is a pure offensive weapon but has enough skills to learn to play D well. He reminds me a ton of Booker.

And his last name is Hero. I mean cmon. He's got to be good, right

Shai and Hami will both be one and done, scouts will fall in love with Shai's potential as a two way player and they are already drooling over Diallo's athleticism and potential. I would look for Grimes to join Herro and Quickly as are gaurd commits..

I’m not buying Shai as a OAD yet.

Let the season play out a bit before we anoint him the next guy to fit into the seemingly limitless first round slots of the draft that some of you create for any kid who shows NBA potential.

Actually reminds me of a more aggressive Devin Booker in high school.

Glorified Brad is a pretty outrageous comment for a Top 40 kid who will climb higher.

Don't let his skin color get in the way of an honest evaluation.

At least five inches of height. Quicker and a better ball handler. Brad has a low release while Herro has a high release. Hard for a 6'5 2 guard to get his shot blocked with a high but quick release.

I'm more excited about Herro than I would of been about signing Barrett but thats just because I really think we'll get Vando back or Zion. Having Baker and Herro will not only give us a massive scoring boost but make the starters that much better defensively every day.

And some people accuse me of never posting anything positive
Click to expand...

Johnson and Shai remind me of those old-school Butler/Xavier type guards who would chew opposing backcourts to pieces in March and instantly find themselves on draft boards as a result.

Herro is the type of kid who would light up a top seed in the second round of the tournament and make a household name of himself.

Quickley/Green give UK the guard combo we’ve never had under Cal – two quick-as-lightning creators who can also shoot at an elite level.

Bring back Washington, SKJ, Wynyard, Baker and maybe one of Vanderbilt/Gabriel.



Add Williamson (and maybe Brown) to that group?


That’s a recipe for a legit title contender with very few weaknesses.

Experience.

Transcendence.

Brutality on the glass.

Length.

Elite shooting.

And we’ve never had a slew of elite shooters on a Cal team since he’s been here.

Herro

Baker

Quickley

Green


With Zion (hopefully) roaming the baselines like a predatory hawk looking for lobs and Washington acting as the eater of the opponents’ young on the glass.

SKJ will be rounded-out in time to give UK the last piece of the puzzle: rim protection.

I haven't read most of this thread, but read a post of someone asking what's the difference between Herro and Brad Calipari....WTF?! I hope nobody else here is that ignorant. Herro is a solid top 25-35 prospect, could be a great college player, Brad is a walk on. I don't get how anyone could complain about landing a player like this.

Squeezing in the required feel-good posts before another set of troll remarks?

Too late pal.
Click to expand...

Too late for what? It's hilarious that you think I'm razzled by being labeled a troll, or a UL fan. Hell, I'll change my username to troll. I'm going to call it like I see it regardless of what you, or anyone thinks. But by all means, keep up the good work of combing through these boards in search of any poster that might be a "troll". Nothing gets past you man.

Very excited about getting this kind of player. I think his shooting could help right away, but he could be a 2-3 or even 4 year guy. Huge for building the program.

Or he could be one and done. It's almost impossible to predict

Still clocked in searching for trolls? You're like a hall monitor or mall cop. Stop worrying about me, and enjoy the board. Put me on ignore if you'd like, although I do enjoy the attention you give me.

Really has nothing to do with how many games he has played. I just don't see NBA talent. I expect him to be at UK for 4 years or transfer.

Very solid for UK but not beyond that

Keldon Johnson was Briscoe yesterday. Calapari can no longer recruit, I hear.
I think the collective IQ of the fan base is crashing below 70 of late.

I'm excited for Herro. He, along with Baker, will be great multi-year players for us. I feel like Wenyen will stick around another year, too. Hopefully a couple other guys, too...
