MBB: Mikey Williams to UCF
- Thread starter Knightmare13
- Start date
As long as he keeps nose clean and is good, welcome.
Realistically, this kid was named the best 7th grade basketball player in the country, was asked to play with Bronny James' traveling team, got high praise from Lebron and was the TIKTOK/social media star of his class. And he was expertly marketed. I wouldn't hazard to guess how much NIL money he was promised from Memphis. So, beyond basketball, unless this kid suddenly finds a love for anything other than money, I'd say we get him on the court asap and enjoy his short time with us....
what baggage does he have?
nevermind, I just read it...gun charges. How nice. He'll fit in with Florida nicely.
Why would Dawkins bring in a kid who fired a gun into a car? Doesn't seem to have #UCFmorals. I bet he never sees the court.

Well, from what I've read, he's pleaded guilty to a felony which can be reduced to a misdemeanor if he completes certain activities by August. I don't know the precedent Johnny's setting if he lets the kid play this season, especially before he gets the reduction. I don't recall any athletes who have played for us after they pleaded guilty to a felony and before they were sentenced. If that happened, in my opinion it'd be a precedent.
don't show up to people's house late at night uninvited.
Or buy skittles at a gas station and walk home
admittedly not quite as knowledgeable about CBB compared to CFB but elite ceiling Point Guards are needed for March Madness runs. look at Kansas State last March , had that fun PG from NYC. Made the Elite 8
Let’s give this guy a chance! This could be a massive W for our program. Hopefully he realized his past and can get it together here! Charge On
shooters gotta shoot.
Yeah……………………I must have missed that in the story. And all this time I thought that flake Zimmerman was acquitted, but clearly you, who was not privy to all of the evidence presented at trial know better. Note to self: do not physically attack others and not expect them to defend themselves.
People come to this board to talk UCF sports, not politics, let’s keep it that way.
When is he eligible to play? Can he play now or sit out a year?
I have read that because he was never actually on a team prior to transferring to UCcF his eligibility is immediate.
didn’t start it and figured what that slob has done after that he wouldn’t have any defenders left
Brandon said it isn’t clear yet
we should root for immediate eligibility bc if he has to sit out a year there is a chance he never plays for UCF. Hope it is immediate and he balls out
.....with GUNS BLAZIN'!
Just stop it dude. What is it about the word ‘acquittal‘ that you can’t wrap your head around? Bring this shit to the political boards. Wtf does this have to do with UCF sports?
chill out man
Stick to sports Idiot
One thing for certain is our hoops team can always use another shooter. Charge On!!!
I thought we looked bad offensively in first half but both teams were 3 of 13 from 3 in first half. Haven’t checked to see how both ended up.
They went 6/13 in 2nd. Us 0/5. How do we not have a 3 point specialist? Can hide him on D by playing zone.
We had 33 fouls shots n didn’t take advantage of them. unfortunately that killed us.
Diallo has turned into a REAL nice find.
It will be interesting how the PG duties evolve.
BYU is a 3 point team. Even the center ( who looks like he is ready for the local tavern league team) hit some big 3s
They have a Muslim Center. I thought that was kind of strange. They ended up 8 of 26. Not great but got the win. Yes if we hit 1 of 2 free throws the times we missed both, we would have won.
Yep if they made some foul shots they win (and that is still shooting under 30% from the field and 19% from 3.)
It’s sorta encouraging because they can’t shoot worse than that n still should’ve won. Great atmosphere too.

This kid got a lucky break that most don't get. It could have easily been murder. Our justice system is consistently inconsistent.
Another Mikey? Let's hope Malzahn doesn't run this one out of town too.
No Ms. Martin, just not interested in you or others illogical politics on a sports forum. I’m truly sorry about your reading comprehension issues little child.
Not at all, you? Again, I stand behind what I said, political opinions should not be on a sports board.
I have him on ignore, he’s one of the reasons I’m no longer on the paid board. He just spews garbage over and over
Were they able to get him into spring classes in time is the first question? Won’t matter if he’s eligible if they didn’t get him enrolled.
