- In the last 5 years or so, I’m sure at some point you’ve seen all three of these guys pop up on your UA-cam feed for their insane highlights, in hyped video of how much of a sensation they are on the high school level, most comments deeming them the next great point guard of the future. UA-cam sensation took off where the term prodigy left off, and has birthed some big names over the years as far as hype is concerned. But if we’ve learned anything in the past decade about that process, it’s not every player you see UA-cam video creators and comment sections make out to be the next big thing, turn out to be anything close to that. Today’s feature is the story of what happened to 3 guys that if you only went by their UA-cam hype, were supposed to be future NBA stars. Mikey Williams leading the charge, was even signed by Puma, the first high schooler to ever be given such an endorsement. Noah Farrakhan was the cool kid with the hops and dance moves perfect for the bright lights and sport center top plays. And Ronaldo Sego, aka Rondo, who hesied his way into much fanfare. All are taking different, unexpected routes to the NBA. Where Are These UA-cam Sensations Now? Mikey Williams, Ronaldo Segu, Noah Farrakhan Stunted Growth

Do you see either of these players making the NBA at some point?
I noticed that you didn't mention any of them winning any championships on any level. You have to at least lead your team to a playoff situation.
We need a episode featuring Ken "Mouse" McFadden from Cleveland State. He led his alma mater to the big dance in college. What happened?
Segu too small! Mikey W has to mature mentally! Farrakhan may have a chance but it depends how he does at WVU & he has to bulk up a bit! Just my opinion! 🙏🏿
Do Harrison Barnes number 1 recruit outta Hs
No. G league at best
A big problem is these guys feel themselves way too much before they ever do anything. The first real reality check they get is not making it to the NBA or not having the success they imagined. By the time they grasp they’re shortcomings or see themselves fall behind it’s too late; all the guys they were better than in high school or college worked hard and developed something while a lot of these highlight hoppers get complacent.
A huge part of being great is knowing how to work from a disadvantage, come back better from losses, and accept the need to grow. All of this is born out of humility.

I’m starting to think. AAU culture is killing overall basketball culture ….
Why do y’all act like aau just started, aau been around since the 90s, EVERY nba player since the 90s has played in aau

@@jsain360 understandable 🤝
That's what happens when high schoolers are treated like celebrities in America. No high school sport treats their athletes like celebrities like high school basketball players get treated. They don't know how to work when they get a million followers. When they get to college, they get exposed by normal guys who know how to play college level ball. After that, they want to transfer to a coach who favors them like that's the reason lmao. That's not how the real world works let alone the NBA. Some guys have it, but the vast majority of guys who are famous in high school will become less than average NBA players who no one talks about anymore. It's crazy to me, as a European, how American kids can transfer to all these different high schools just to play a sport, and in the hopes that they will get drafted in the NBA. They have no respect and then everyone wonders why they couldn't make it lmao. It's easy to play against normal kids who know they won't make the NBA in high school, but when you put these kids in a concentrated environment where everyone is there because they have skill, they get exposed.
All facts and not one opinion
Football players get it too my boa
@@johndavis9321and this is def a opinion the as a European part made me feel as if this was hate
@@snowpatrolbarkeley502 where was the lie tho?
@@snowpatrolbarkeley502lol your feeling are hurt😂😂😂
The problem I always saw with Mikey was that he showed early signs of filling out. I'm 6'2" and have been so since the age of 16, but was much more slender than him. Yet we both have rather short arms, so that combined with his muscularity did not bode well. Much of his game is predicated on overpowering skinny teenagers. Segu is probably the best pro candidate out of the three.
segu plays overseas
Biggest red flag was always his attitude, arrogance and selfishness....but yes, if he was 6'6 he would have a better chance. Now no way!
Dudes like Collin Sexton and Jerryd Bayless have a very similar build tho ..
I think it’s more the mental part that hurts Mikey.
Doesn’t Mikey have a 6’7 wingspan?
If so that’s really good for a 6’2 player
@@electronights3589 If he can develop PG skills.
Respect to you, sir, but Mikey Williams fired a gun into a car full of people, and you're saying he might miss some games this season? Fam, he might miss some games for the next 10-15 seasons.
😂
Foul 😂😂😂😂
Yeah although I'm sure wit pleas and shit he can get a lot of years knocked off
😂
No he is not. Mikey is out and is still listed to go to Memphis.
Mikey has been the same height since the 8th grade.
Do one for Patrick McCaw, as what Jerry West said, “they’re going to be sorry they didn’t take him.” Ghosted the Warriors in 2018 and been out of the league since 2021.

Who is that
you basically explained why high school hype is dead. with the way anyone can have a fire mixtape its really hard to know who's up next until you see them play college/g-league/ote.
I don’t think it’s dead. More like, exacerbated. Much to the fault of pages like BIL and OT riding the hype train earlier and earlier. I hope I don’t sound nostalgic, but it felt like older BIL wasn’t as…clout-y? Same thing with hoopmixtapes. It went from only the best players getting mixtapes and highlights, to literally anyone that would show their face on cam and head-tap, cross, or dunk.
@@sosmooth13 i get what you’re saying it’s definitely true that anyone can look nice on a bil tape now, when i was a kid (well over a decade ago) most the mixtapes i watched are guys that eventually made it to the league and became stars or at least had solid pro careers. but since bil and others allowed players to just pay to get on or pay in clout, it hasnt held the same weight at all…
Straight dead
Cooper Flagg isn't hype.
Mikey really waited til his last year of high school to do some stupid shit and hamper his career. So close yet so far. Why do these young guys decide to put themselves in these types of situations knowing the level of influence and fame surrounding them? It makes 0 sense to me. That's why you never make permanent decisions off of temporary feelings SMDH🤦🏾♂️
It's the "culture". These low iq people look more up to a gangbanger dealing drugs in the neighbourhood than a hardworking average man. "keepin it real"
It’s not being done intentionally but when you’re a micro celebrity and basically get whatever you want whenever you want, you really start to think your untouchable. the kids ego was inflated to the max.
they shouldn’t have came to his crib tripping 🤷🏾♂️
I'm not a Mikey fan, but people did show up unannounced at his house and we don't know exactly what they did when they got there.
I actually went to the same school that Segu went to in his Junior and senior yr (OCP). Him and Nassir Little were so much fun to watch, bro was basically a walking glitch with the hesi’s. Wished he could’ve gone to the NBA like Nas did, it would’ve been awesome
Segu's the only one of these that really surprises me. I'm a UNC fan and I used to watch your school play to see Nassir Little, but always came away impressed with Segu.
Big semoran vibes ❤️🔥
If you grow a black a athlete please understand that 4 year scholarships are amazing. Don’t down play it . These boys are special.
Segu hezzys went crazy
Can we do a stunted growth on Ryan Carter the Hezi-God and Frank "Nitty" Session?
All these niggaz are young asf n you already did stunted growth on them!!! That’s sick boy
3 minute intro is crazy but thanks for the video though ✌️… i was convinced Noah was gonna b a star
I live in San Diego and Mikey...where was his camp to protect him.
Love the creativity JC 🔥💯
You ain't slick lmao😂😂. Light in the ass pause set.
The two problems with these UA-cam sensations are that players can look great in HS, but don't have an NBA position and the highlights can obscure their deficiencies (like shooting, passing, ball-handling, defense).
mikey literally had multiple 10+ assists games his senior year changing his playstyle but his legal action disappoints me
I haven’t watched a vid of yours in a min kinda of thought u were hating at first but I’m glad some of these names are getting attention again.. it’s hard to make the NBA and it’s million variables that can change your path. It is what it is.
Can you do one on Kai Sotto? He reminds me of this, got hyped on social media, but nothing to show for it.
Love the content only speak facts this stuff has to be talked about
Ronaldo is still nice, watched him for Psyhiko last season and he was truly carrying and going off, next season will be crucial for him playing in a stronger league. I dont think he fell off, just playing the long game and in my opinion making some great decisions about team selection. Unlike Mikey for example, Ronaldo seems to have his priorities straight showing work ethic and self-awareness
Please do an installment on Myles Powell! Dude was a beast! Great content! 💪🏿🙏🏿
Who is that
i met Rondo a few weeks ago, cool kid. deceptively tall.
Still proud of all these guys they made a name for themselves at a young age
0:20 this clip almost upset me but when I replayed it, I was cool with it 😂😂👍
Yessir love your vids
Ion think Segu was ever projected to go to the nba but he’s definitely still getting buckets overseas
Mikey Williams being a shorter scoring guard reminds me of Donovan Mitchell, who's also a shooting guard in a 6'1 body. What is it that separates Mikey from D. Mitch as undersized 2 guard prospects?
The only thing I could think of between Donovan and Mikey is Donovan's more explosive as well as having a long wingspan that allows him to play much bigger than he actually is. When I see Donovan on the court, he looks to be around 6'4, which was surprising when i found out he was barely 6'1. Mikey, even though he's listed to be an inch taller at 6'2, seems smaller compared to Donovan.
Other than that, what else am I missing on their differences as prospects as to why Donovan became a top Nba prospect? Based purely on basketball standpoint and not his off court issues, does Mikey has the same potential as an undersized 2-guard similar to Donovan Mitchell?
D Mitch has a 6'10 wingspan so at times he is bigger than his actual height
You basically nailed is any undersized player has to have attributes/intangibles that make up for the lack of height for Donovan Mitchell his is big bodied (pause) as you mentioned has a ridiculous wingspan for his size and is a great athlete all that helps to make up for his lack of great 2 guards size along with that Donovan has shown to be an elite scorer whereas that will ultimately be the biggest question with Mikey will he be able to score enough to make up for his lack of size we have seen him score well at the high school level but if we're being honest dude played the majority of his hs ball at a public school in San diego so he really wasn't going to be tested most nights can Mikey score and importantly score efficiently now that the defenders are more athletic, longer, and stronger? We shall see
@@johndavis9321Yes, Mikey hasn't been tested every night against his competition. Mikey can score, but can he do it efficiently? D. Mitch, despite his size, is an extremely explosive player that can get to the rim at will. On top of that, D. Mitch also has shooting range and can knock down long 3s with consistency. I don't see Mikey having that consistent range like D. Mitch.
D. Mitch build and athleticism reminds me of young D. Wade but a few inches shorter. Both has explosive first step, strong body, and extremely long wingspan compared to their height.
@@royalace2271 exactly
Great Vid
I think Mikey Williams will have the most promising career because he is the best but it is also about network. His father's Vertical Academy has given Trey Parker a spotlight. He is now on Drifty Elite with Bryce James. Mikey has also played with Bronny. Also he started with Overtime that created the Overtime Elite. Look at Emoni Bates who left Memphis for EMU, got a gun charge and still got drafted. If your network is big enough, they will find a spot for you.
So. My man dude has talent. But doesn’t have NBA talent. I don’t think I’m hating. Hopefully he can do well at business with the money he’s made. The case don’t help
None of that shit matters, he just needs to produce at the next level.
Emoni Bates had a gun in his car. This other dude shot at people in a car. Big difference.
Mikey is a scorer tho and horrible on defense who is putting him on the floor. there are much better scores in the nba way more efficient and better shooter.
@@velcapitan i also chuckled a bit at what he said. A world of difference between those two charges.
Ronaldo Segu played college ball at my university. He’s really good, but to be honest the program has to been the same after Nate Oats left for Alabama and I think that definitely affected him
Segu isn’t stunted growth. Playing major minutes for a NCAA tournament caliber team and graduating isn’t bad. Overseas if he can continue to develop he can make a top league in Europe. Farrakhan will finish out at WVU. And I think Mikey, he is eventually going to go to San Diego state
5:17 he spicin it bad nobody ever thought that boy was going to the league like at all
Word wtf happen to these Shorties??!! Especially MIKEY WILLIAMS , he had all the HYPE N CLOUT !! Heard he got locked up n fighting a case smfh … that’s what happens when they listen to #NBAYoungBOY #38NBAboy Lml 😅 !! Hope they all get back on TRACK #FAITH & #HOPE
Mikey in college bro
Emoni ain’t fighting for a spot fam his shit secured
AFerrakan going to west virgina this year. Bigger lights to ball for him let’s see how he do
Ouuu doing this on the music channel too would be so fye
Donovan Mitchell is 6’1” … I believe Mikey can still make it
Good point
Spida is 215 with a MASSIVE 6’10 Wingspan 😳
Spida is a heavyweight Boxing champion
Mikey game wasn’t gon translate.
I feel like UA-cam hype highlight is dying. More players starting to stay low key and work hard towards making it to the NBA instead of just being hyped all over internet and possibly leading them to lose focus.
I will stick with my choices of Terry Dehere or Rodney Monroe
Who are they
@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390Rodney Monroe is super old school from NC State I think sometime in 80s when the program was once a force. Terry Dehere is Seton Hall and Clippers late 80' early 90's. I don't remember either having a high ceiling just good college stars.
Emoni bates fighting for a roster spot? Isn’t he on a 2 way? So he’ll be on the cavs at some point this year? Summer League don’t mean much but he looked pretty good
Noah Farrakhan actually improved from high school and that's major he's the best NBA candidate on here
Rondo is my guy, he is a pro, sometimes it is just politics but he still grinding, he’ll get there
Segu gotta take UA-cam seriously with his skill level. He gonna make some buzz super easy and make great money from videos
I still believe Mikey still play basketball again
nah they finna get his ass
@@TBtheking405216 not really there is no way that Mikey going to get convicted of all 6 counts

Mikey is a product of having it before you really have it lol
What Happened To D Jeff ?? The SF That Ran With OJ Mayo at SC
They Was Hawt !!
Ja walked so Mikey can run 🥲
also the physical build is just one part theres sooooooo many players that are skinny af and produce in the NBA, thats just a simple rebuttal for why certain players dont make it. people that ignore the large amount of players that are skinny in the NBA and produce, dont recognize it, they think they are making good points
You gotta do EJ Jackson bro lol
Mikey Williams done
In your dreams pal. Bro is innocent.
Rondo was never a top pg he just had the home team hoops community behind him. He’s doing damn well if you ask me
You're reacchiing bro Mikey Williams just went to college
He also facing charges that can have him prison
Yet emoni bates was some what black balled and better than most of his draft class.
Was definitely wondering where was rondo
I think you should try covering NFL too
I’ll watch this later but yeah think the UA-cam social media hype train players ate hurting the game. Anybody looks good if they only show the super good highlights
Right plus all the views and fans that follow can cloud a young dudes mind and give him an inflated ego he then stops workin on his craft cause in his mind he's already made it
Can you do one on Sha’Carri Richardson? A growth spurt? It’s been a while since you did a track video and it’s track season rn!

@@mistermann3225 I’m just glad she bounced back
They hated on Mikey Williams!! This is undeniable!!! Mikey is the truth!! He is an elite player
I constantly was questioning Mike Williams and why everywhere i went, on social meadia, why so much hype on him. And I looked like he nice but i seen dennis smith jr. All over him tbh.. i hope he will become great and shut me up. But it definitely smelt like hype on him
Mikey Williams got into some legal issues but hopefully can get back focus
Hoping Mikey can play second half of the season. Also, Mikey definitely plays point guard from all the footage I saw!
He never will make it to the nba
Why do you hope that? There are much more worthy children to play than this arrogant piece of shit criminal
I’m not complaining i live in ypsi so it’s been cool watching N Farrakhan 🤷🏾♂️
Goat
And the band played on
Simple answer no to the NBA, can they play professional overseas or make money off of basketball yes. All under 6'5 and various issues. NBA scouts are paid for a reason.
Yeah but scoot Henderson is under 6'5 and got drafted top 3 to be clear I am NOT putting Mikey, Noah, or segu in the same category as scoot but we gotta stop this narrative about height being this huge factor it definitely matters but their are still dudes 6'4 6'3 and even shorter getting drafted the average height in the league has actually gone down since the 90's
@@johndavis9321 scoot built like a RB
Mikey always seemed like a cocky clown
You sound like a hater.

Mikey could be the next Jalen Green but he chose to be a 🤡
Idk if that’s the right comparison at all… Jalen went the prep school route, Mikey was transferring consistently. Athleticism yeah they’re similar. but it’s 2 completely diff situations with both of them. & Jalen was an all American while Mikey had more clout and hype on his side but was never an all American according to rankings
Mikey, in a way, plays for the highlight… Jalen, in HS, plays to win cause he played with other all Americans
