University of Massachusetts Star William Herndon

The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Coach Karen Hall will interview University of Massachusetts Star William Herndon.

Herndon, who scored more than 1,000 points and grabbed more than 1,000 rebounds in his career at Allderdice, left Richmond last month and will transfer to the University of Massachusetts for the winter semester. He will become eligible in January, 1990 and will have 2½ years of eligibility remaining.

Herndon knows two players at Massachusetts - Jim McCoy, a freshman guard and Central Catholic graduate, and John Tate, a sophomore forward and Penn Hills graduate.

McCoy and Herndon had planned on attending Richmond together. Herndon gave a verbal commitment commitment in February, about two months before the national signing date, but McCoy signed with Massachusetts after Calipari became its head coach.
