With an ever-growing physique and skillset, the talk surrounding Tyler Herro is beginning to escape the suburbs of Milwaukee and out onto the national landscape. A member of the 2018 recruiting class, the Whitnall High product received his first two scholarship offers on the same date back in June from the likes of Green Bay and Milwaukee, yet things have begun to escalate as DePaul and Creighton have also joined the fray.

Standing at 6-foot-3 and super smooth in the backcourt, Herro grew up as a lead guard but due to his physical growth, might be best placed at the shooting guard spot. Still, he is a more than solid ballhandler who can create for others on drive and dump offs and has an already polished mid-range pull-up game. There is some Wisconsin star Bronson Koenig to him and as he continues to work on his craft, the chances of Herro receiving priority recruitment from some of the best programs looks more than decent.

Last month, the sophomore guard was able to travel off to Madison with a few of his grassroots teammates on the Wisconsin Playground Warriors 15-under squad and came away highly impressed with the Wisconsin basketball program. “It was great. We went to the football game and it was a great atmosphere everywhere on campus.”

While no offer has been received just yet, things might heat up down the road. “The coaches said they are all really interested so we will see what happens in the future.”

Marquette is another program that has laid down some groundwork with the in-state recruit as Herro oftentimes works out with some of its ballplayers. “The coaches and the players who are already in the program are all easy to talk to. I love the facilities and the atmosphere at the games.”

Within the past few weeks, Creighton, Drake, Milwaukee, Minnesota, Iowa State, Purdue, Wisconsin, and Marquette have all dispatched coaches to Whitnall High’s gym. With a visit looming this weekend to Minnesota, while things are far from finished, it would seem that the potential top-100 recruit could soon become a hot commodity for many of the top of the line programs throughout the Midwest.
