Kentucky Basketball Preview: Tyler Herro could be one of the best scorers in the Coach Cal era

Tyler Herro, freshman guard.

What did he do before Kentucky?

When Tyler Herro decommitted from the Wisconsin Badgers in October of 2017 and signed a letter of intent to play for Kentucky less than a month later, fans of the Wildcats were ecstatic. Probably 60% of that excitement had to do with stealing a player from Wisconsin, and 40% was excited to add a shooter to the 2018 class.

“A shooter.” That is what everyone expected Herro to be. He is a white basketball player from Wisconsin, and every highlight you could find had him knocking down jumpers.
