Mikey Williams, one of the top high school guards in the nation, trimmed his recruitment down to 10 schools and eliminated the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats.Â
In response to national protests following the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, the San Diego native tweeted in May that he would strongly consider attending a Historically Black college or university (HBCU). Williams listed North Carolina Central, Alabama State, Hampton, Texas Southern and Tennessee State.Â
The other programs to make the cut for Williams were ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ State, USC, San Diego State, Kansas and Memphis.Â
I appreciate every college that has recruited me up until this point but here’s my top 10. Let’s Rock!
