The attorney for Mikey Williams says that the former top recruit and social media sensation entered the transfer portal this week because the University of Memphis had shown that his rejoining the basketball program was “not a priority.”
In a statement sent to Yahoo Sports on Wednesday night, attorney Troy P. Owens said that Williams hoped to be able to play for Memphis this season after reaching a plea deal in his gun case on Nov. 30.
Owens said that weeks went by and Williams stopped receiving responses from Memphis about his status.
