2018 Kentucky Wildcats guard commit Tyler Herro was snubbed for a spot on the McDonald’s All American roster. But he revealed via twitter that he has been invited to take place in the Nike Hoop Summit:
Blessed to announce I have been 1 of 12 selected to play for the USA Nike Hoop Summit team in April. Another opportunity to represent .

This comes just a day after Herro’s latest scoring barrage:
Tyler Herro (@raf_tyler) just had 37 points in 20 minutes

There hasn’t been an official announcement made by the organization so we will have to wait and see if Keldon Johnson and Immanuel Quickley have also been selected to represent the USA.
Herro has been climbing the rankings since he decommitted from Wisconsin and joined the Cats. He was bumped from a four star player to a five star player by ESPN and he is ranked as the 25th best player in the class of 2018 by that service as well.
Once the rest of the services update their rankings, I’m sure Herro will receive a significant bump from them as well.
