"It’s funny they were perfectly happy to welcome him to Wisky but then call him 'overrated' because he changed his mind. Fans rarely use logic," commented a fan.

A fan commented, "I remember when the OG video came out and they got quite quick 😂."

"This is why you never start an overrated chant towards a highly rated recruit," commented another fan.

ESPN ranked Herro at the 30th spot nationally, fourth in the shooting guard position and first in Wisconsin.
