The 6-foot-5, 195-pound shooting guard from Milwaukee was committed to the Badgers for 13 months but as he blew up during the summer heading into his junior season, Herro knew he could have more options. He initially picked Wisconsin over DePaul and Marquette.
“I wanted to play somewhere bigger than that,” Herro said. “Obviously not a lot of people get the opportunity to play at somewhere like Kentucky. When I got the call that I could play here, why not? I know I’m good enough, work hard, play with a group of guys like this that have the same goal as me, get to the NBA at the end of the day, that’s really what went into it.
