The 2019-20 NBA All-Rookie team member Tyler Herro was a four-star recruit who ranked at the 35th spot nationally. The famous basketball page "Ballislife" posted highlights of the former Whitnall High School player when he dropped a triple-double.

Herro scored 45 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists in his team's 76-52 win against Bay View in their WIAA regional semifinal in 2018. The video also showed the student section being unhappy and booing Herro after he de-committed from his hometown school in Wisconsin on Oct. 17, 2017:

The hoops fans took to the comment section as they were left in awe of the current Miami Heat guard:

"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.
