Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller “fronted” the deal to get Deandre Ayton to the school, agent runner Christian Dawkins said on an FBI wiretap investigating corruption in college basketball.
The wiretap was played Monday in the trial in New York, with Sood saying that he and Dawkins were already paying then-Arizona assistant Emanuel “Book” Richardson to influence Wildcats’ players and recruits to sign with their sports management company. Said Dawkins: “It’s going to be more money than what they, what Book said, I mean because I talked to Sean. Sean’s the one that fronted that deal. So it’s going to be some money, but I mean we’ll figure that out.”
Wiretaps also caught a discussion about recruit Jahvon Quinerly, who eventually signed with Villanova. He decided earlier this month to transfer. “This is what I’ll do. This is what I can do for you to put you in a situation to move to Tucson. ... I don’t want the NCAA to with us. You should take two or three more visits and then shut it down. And then as soon as you do that, you commit.”
