Recruiting: Herro picks Wisconsin over MU, others

For the second time in 34 days, Steve Wojciechowski and his staff came up short on a highly-touted recruit in Milwaukee County. This time Tyler Herro, a 2018 guard and resident Greenfield, Wisconsin, opted to attend Wisconsin.

Herro entertained offers from Arizona, Marquette, Creighton, Florida, Xavier and several other schools before announcing his commitment to second-year head coach Greg Gard’s program Monday afternoon on Twitter.

“Coach Gard did a phenomenal job attending so many games (Herro) was in,” Herro’s trainer Bryan Donaldson said. “I know that meant the world to Tyler.”

Donaldson specifically noted Gard’s attendance at Whitnall’s victory over Whitefish Bay last March to send the Falcons to State for the first time since 2004.
