Michael Weathers

He played college basketball for the Miami RedHawks, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Texas Southern Tigers and SMU Mustangs.

[1] Weathers' mother remarried Henry Loring, a former college football player for the Grambling State Tigers.

[1] The Weathers brothers created a formidable duo while playing basketball at Shawnee Mission North High School in Overland Park, Kansas.

[1] Weathers left Shawnee Mission North as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,626 points; his brother finished second with 1,150.

[1] Prior to his senior year, he was contacted by Miami RedHawks coach John Cooper, who was a childhood fan of Weathers' father when he played at Southeast High School, but he turned down the offer as he stated he was looking in a different direction.

[1] Although some colleges showed interest in signing both, concerns about their academics emerged and there was a delay of clearance by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

[5] On March 28, 2017, Weathers announced that he and his brother would transfer from the RedHawks as they desired to play closer to home with a different opportunity.

Weathers expressed an eagerness to play alongside his brother at another school but they would be open to separation if presented with individual options.

[12] On January 16, 2019, Weathers and teammates Maurice Calloo and Kentrevious Jones were dismissed by the Cowboys for a violation of team rules.

The move reunited him with his brother Marcus, who transferred from Duquesne, and his former coach John Cooper, who serves as an assistant for the Mustangs.

[29] On April 12, 2022, Weathers' mother, Joann Loring, died aged 55 after a battle with a rare form of leukemia.
