Mikey Williams, one of the top high school guards in the nation, trimmed his recruitment down to 10 schools and eliminated the Arizona Wildcats.
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.
The other programs to make the cut for Williams were Arizona State, USC, San Diego State, Kansas and Memphis.

ASU, along with UA, was one of the first schools to offer the the 6-foot-2-inch, 175-pound Williams.
Most notably, Williams became an internet sensation after scoring 77 points for San Ysidro High School against Kearny, a single-game CIF San Diego Section record, which was previously set by Tyrone Shelley in 2005.
