Tony Farmer's highly anticipated college basketball career came to a screeching halt Tuesday.
Farmer, a heavily recruited high school basketball player from Garfield Heights, Ohio, was sentenced to three years in prison for kidnapping and assault of his ex-girlfriend, Andrea Lane.
Farmer, 18, turned to his attorney after the sentence was announced and collapsed to the floor.
The sentence is set to be reviewed after 180 days.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reports that the incident, which took place last April in the lobby and parking lot of Lane's apartment complex, was caught on the apartment complex's videotape. Farmer also reportedly sent threatening text messages to Lane.
Farmer, a 6-foot-6 forward, was one of the top 100 prospects in the class of 2013. Xavier, Dayton, Ohio State, Michigan State, Iowa, West Virginia and Illinois were all courting him.
Most schools recruiting Farmer will be waiting to see how the case plays out, Garfield Heights High School basketball coach Sonny Johnson told The Plain Dealer.
By no means do I feel what dude did is justifiable but dude didn't deserve 3 years IMO. Just seems like a young couple who let emotions get the best of them. The girl and her family asked for leniency with his sentencing. What do you guys think?
