UK signee Tyler Herro logged two points and one assist in the Nike Hoop Summit on Friday night, going 1-for-3 from the floor in USA Basketball’s 89-76 loss to the World Select Team, which was led by Duke signee R.J. Barrett.

Herro played 7 minutes and 18 seconds off the bench, the lowest amount of playing time on the 10-player USA squad. Kansas-bound shooting guard Quentin Grimes played 34 minutes for Team USA.

UK signee Keldon Johnson was also selected for the Hoop Summit — and made the trip to Portland, Ore. — but he was sidelined for the game itself with a sprained ankle suffered earlier this month.

Tyler Herro

UK basketball signee Tyler Herro announced Wednesday that he has been named to the U.S. team for the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland, Ore., in April.

Herro will be one of 12 American players in the game, which is one of the premier postseason all-star events in high school basketball. The limited number of prospects chosen for the game actually makes it more exclusive than the McDonald’s All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic.

Tyler Herro

Kentucky is expected to get its third basketball commitment for the class of 2018 on Tuesday.

Four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro — a 6-foot-5 prospect from Milwaukee — is scheduled to announce his college decision at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the day before the end of the early signing period.

Herro wrapped up his official visit to Lexington on Sunday, and UK is the only school that he will see before making his college announcement. Kansas, Oregon, Villanova and Butler have all been recruiting Herro since he decommitted from Wisconsin last month, but he hasn’t taken trips to any of those schools.

Herro

Four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro said Sunday night that he will announce his college decision Tuesday, one day before the end of the early signing period and just a couple of days after wrapping up his official visit to Kentucky.

UK has emerged as the major favorite in the recruitment of Herro, a 6-foot-5 prospect from Milwaukee who backed out of a commitment to Wisconsin last month. He took his first official visit to UK over the weekend, and he will not be visiting any other schools between now and his college announcement.

Tyler Herro

Scout.com national analyst Evan Daniels is now predicting that Kentucky will ultimately land four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro, who received a scholarship offer from the Wildcats on Tuesday.

Daniels logged a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction for Herro in favor of UK shortly after the Milwaukee native received the scholarship offer during a visit from Coach John Calipari. Daniels has been correct on his last 37 Crystal Ball predictions.

Kentucky has emerged as the runaway favorite on Herro’s Crystal Ball page since the player’s decommitment from Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, with national analysts Jerry Meyer and Andrew Slater and a couple of Wisconsin basketball insiders also predicting the Cats.

Herro

Four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro received a scholarship offer from John Calipari during the UK coach’s visit to Milwaukee on Tuesday, according to Rivals.com national analyst Corey Evans.

Herro — a 6-foot-5 prospect in the 2018 class — backed off of a commitment to Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, and UK was one of the first schools to show interest in his new recruitment. He’s also considering Kansas, Oregon, Villanova and Butler, and he’s not expected to make a college decision in time for next week’s early signing period.

Kentucky is also in the mix for five-star combo guard Quentin Grimes and five-star shooting guard Keldon Johnson, who are both expected to make early college decisions. The Cats are finalists for five-star shooting guard R.J. Barrett — the No. 1 player in the 2018 rankings — but UK is seen as a long shot in that recruitment.

Herro

UK Coach John Calipari will be in Milwaukee on Tuesday to see four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro, according to Wisconsin basketball insider Mark Miller.

Herro — a 6-foot-5 prospect from Milwaukee — decommitted from Wisconsin earlier this month after being committed to the Badgers for more than a year. He hosted coaches from Kansas, Oregon, Villanova and Butler last week, and he has said that he’s in no hurry to make another college decision.

UK assistant coach Kenny Payne reached out to Herro with a phone call last week to express interest on behalf of the Wildcats’ program. Herro is the No. 36 overall prospect in the class of 2018, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. He averaged 23.9 points per game and shot 39 percent from three-point range as a high school junior last season.

Herro

National recruiting analyst Andrew Slater has logged a prediction in favor of Kentucky on four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro’s 247Sports Crystal Ball page.

Herro — a 6-foot-5 prospect from Milwaukee — decommitted from Wisconsin last week after being pledged to the home-state Badgers for more than a year. UK was immediately named as one of the possibilities in his new recruitment — and there were even reports that someone from the Wildcats’ coaching staff would visit him this week — but there’s been no confirmation yet that UK has expressed serious interest in Herro.

Herro

Kentucky is among the schools expected to visit four-star shooting guard Tyler Herro this week, according to Wisconsin recruiting insider Evan Flood.

Herro — a 6-foot-5 prospect from Milwaukee — backed off a commitment to the home-state Badgers last week after being pledged to Wisconsin for more than a year. He’s considered a top-40 national player in the class of 2018 by every major recruiting service. (ESPN ranks him the highest at No. 27 overall).
