Former Kentucky star Tyler Herro throws shade at Wisconsin

[ASFN Admin]

Former Kentucky Wildcats guard Tyler Herro has been in the news a few times in the past few weeks. He was recently traded from the Miami Heat to the Milwaukee Bucks, then found time to get into a physical altercation with former teammate, and another former Wildcat, in Bam Adebayo in which Herro was struck.

Now, Herro is getting attention from fans of his new team for the wrong reason. Recently, he was asked a question about his college commitment, and might have inadvertently thrown some shade at the Wisconsin Badgers.

Herro initially committed to Wisconsin out of high school, but wound up decommitting and heading to Lexington. Here's what he said about it.

I mean, I can keep it simple as - if I didn't decommit, I'd probably would be on the Bucks right now, so I had to make a business at the time and go to Kentucky.... I'm excited to be home. Leave that in the past. I'm representing the city and state like no other, so let's do it.

The implication that Wisconsin wouldn't have been able to get Herro to the NBA could rub some the wrong way, though Kentucky fans are likely to agree with him. If he plays as well as he has in the past, though, fans in his new home state will forgive him
