2016 Big Man Schnider Herard to Announce Nov. 4

Schnider Herard, a 6-foot-10 center from Plano (TX) Prestonwood Christian, will announce his college choice Nov. 4, according to multiple reports.

The No. 5-ranked center in the Class of 2016 according to 247Sports.com, Herard is considering Kansas, Mississippi State, Purdue and Texas Tech.

“Schnider had, I think, 34 scholarship offers and narrowing that down from 10 to five, he was looking for where he might play right away and which programs are going to use their big guys,” Derrick Shelby, Herard’s guardian, told goldandblack.com.

“The most important thing in his decision is going to be the ability to play right away,” Shelby added. “That’s No. 1. So many kids go to these schools and sit there for a year or two. He’d like to be able to play right away. There’s no question about that. That’s the No. 1 criteria.”

Herard is the latest Class of 2016 star to name an announcement date, following Columbia (S.C.) Hammond point guard Seventh Woods (Nov. 11) and Oak Hill Academy (VA) big man Harry Giles (Nov. 14).
