Most basketball fans San Yasidro and Lake Norman Christian recall former five -star Sambhavna Mickey Williams for their high school dominance, where they scored more than 25 points per game per game.
Williams were originally committed to play for Penny Hardway at Memphis, but legal troubles derailed their path. He got entangled in a long legal battle that lasts for about eight months, eventually convicted on charges of a hooliganism for making criminal intimidation as part of a argument deal with San Diego County Prosecutors.
As a result, Williams were never suitable for memphis. Instead, he transferred to UCF in the previous season, where he played in 18 matches and scored just 5.1 points per competition.
Now, beyond its Sophomore year, Williams has once again entered the transfer portal. On Tuesday, he announced his decision to transfer to the Sacramento State, where he would play under the NBA Legend Mike Bibbi, who is the head coach of the event, and Shakeel O’Neel, who recently accepted a role as the team’s general manager.
Williams will also work closely with Shakir, son of Shakeel O’Neel, who transferred from Florida A&M to Sacramento state.
The report of ESPN’s Shams Charania read, “GM and coach as Shakeel O’Neel and Mike Bibbi Hirings’ heel shoes, East-East-Fenome Mickey Williams told ESPN that he had committed to play for Sacramento State.

Williams’ visit has certainly been unexpected and unconventional, but the ability to come out of high school was more like any player in his classroom. Once introduced as a lottery pick, the 20-year-old now looks to rejuvenate his game career-with a major occasion to do so in Cramanto State.

The 6 -Foot -3 guard still has a three -year collegiate eligibility. In the previous season, Hornets ended with a overall record of 10–24 and moved to 4–14 in the Big Sky Conference Play.
