Have you even seen JHS? That kid is as physically big as any guard prior to coming to IU as I can remember. TB was a beanpole by comparison.

It's not just my made up opinion, in the short time he was a Hoosier, I recall Dick Vitale mentioning that he was basically too hard to handle for any guard in the B10. It's a shame it didn't last ...

Michael Hermon was a talent. But another in the long line of over-hyped Chicago players, who believed everything that was written about his impending stardom as he bounced to 3 High Schools in 4 years. Making it work at IU would have been his best bet as he was never heard from again on the big time college basketball landscape.
Long time Chicago Sports Personality, David Kaplan, had just gotten out of college coaching at NIU a few years before Hermon was on the market. He published the Windy City Roundball Review at the time. A buddy I worked with also worked with Kap at WLUP/AM 1000. Story went, Hermon wanted to go to DePaul after knowing he couldn’t get into U of I’s “Bridge Program” but Landon “Sonny” Cox, his last HS Coach at King wouldn’t let that happen (Cox controlled $$$ a lot of the Chicago public league talent and felt DePaul/Joey Meyer had hung one of his guys, Teddy Grubbs, out to dry when he had issues that landed him in trouble about 10 years earlier). While Coach Knight and Cox were not friendly, Cox liked the idea of Hermon going to IU if he couldn’t be at Illinois.

He’s a phucking moron
Will be interesting to see if CMW can get X and JHS on the court together for extended minutes. Lots of potential there if they can make it work. On both ends of the court.
I like Herman, but I'm sorry that opinion is wrong. If he was actually top 5 he would have made money playing ball somewhere. I even left off guys like Juwan Howard and Antoine Walker.It's not just my made up opinion, in the short time he was a Hoosier, I recall Dick Vitale mentioning that he was basically too hard to handle for any guard in the B10.

While I agree with an earlier post that many Chicago players are over hyped, the city has still pumped out a ton of NBA talent.
Anthony Davis and Isiah are NBA Top 75 all time and many others are multiple time NBA all stars.
The Montverde Academy boys' basketball team, the No. 3 seed in the 2022 GEICO National tournament, defeated No. 6 seed AZ Compass, 72-63 in the opening round on Thursday afternoon. With the win, the Eagles have advanced into the semifinal round and will play against the winner between No. 2 seed IMG Academy and No. 7 seed La Lumiere on Friday at 2:30 pm.
In Thursday's win the Eagles led throughout and were led by Malik Reneau with a game-high 19 points. Reneau was one of five Eagles to score in double figures as Dariq Whitehead, Dillon Mitchelland Jalen Hood-Schifino added 12 points each, while Dravyn Gibbs Lawhorn scored 10.
Mitchell and Reneau had a team co-high eight rebounds, while Whitehead offered nine assists.

He was mostly better than all of them, he just had a problem with Bobby as many others. We'll never know
The best Chicago kid died before he could get to college. I forget his name, but he would have play with Nick Anderson. He got shot to death near his school.

Michael Herman minor league basketball Statistics on StatsCrew.com
The Stats Crew has compiled complete career minor league basketball statistics for Michael Herman.
Hard to argue he's best ever out of Chicago looking at his IU and minor league stats
He lasted one year I think at IU. Just like DeAndre Thomas and Jemarcus Ellis he became a ghost after IU. You do a google search on those two and you get nothing. They are in jail for all I know.
IU players aren’t smaller, “less physically toned” now. That was the “wut”, genius.
