5-Star Memphis Recruit Mikey Williams Arrested on Multiple Charges of Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Mikey Williams, a highly ranked high school basketball player committed to the University of Memphis, was arrested in San Diego on five charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
Williams was released from jail after posting $50,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
The arrest of the 18-year-old, who has a large social media following and multimillion-dollar sponsorship deals, is the latest off-court incident to affect college basketball.
Coach Penny Hardaway's recruiting class at Memphis, which includes Williams, is ranked among the best in the country.
Williams had hoped to turn pro after one year at Memphis and eventually build a billion-dollar sports and entertainment empire.
