The video shows it all. Tony Farmer, a highly recruited high school basketball prospect out of Garfield Heights, Ohio, collapsed to the floor Tuesday after receiving a three-year prison sentence.
Farmer plead guilty in July to kidnapping, felonious assault and robbery and intimidation.
The charges stem from an altercation between Farmer and his ex-girlfriend Andrea Lane on April 23. Farmer was listed on several recruiting websites as a top 100 prospect in the 2013 class. The 6’7 forward had drawn interest from DePaul, Illinois, Michigan State, Penn State and Xavier.
Farmer’s ex-girlfriend asked the judge for mercy, saying although she wants no future contact with Farmer, he shouldn’t have to go to prison. Lane, who is also 18, added that Farmer needs help and she does not think he will receive it behind bars.
Farmer would have been a senior this fall.
