Brandon Williams becomes the third player to decommit from the Wildcats’ program this week in the wake of the Sean Miller scandal. This leaves the school with zero commitments for the next season. Williams joins Jahvon Quinerly and Shareef O’Neal (Shaq’s son) who have now decided to play for Villanova and UCLA respectfully. FBI reports of a wiretap surfaced last week that allegedly have head coach Sean Miller discussing a $100,000 payment to secure the commitment of former recruit Deandre Ayton. Miller has told the media that he has not “knowingly” violated any NCAA rules and will continue to coach. The scandal seems to be scaring recruits away as they don’t want to get caught up in the possible storm coming. I can’t really blame them. There are plenty of high quality programs around the country where these players can shine and try to avoid the mess of corruption. That might prove harder than we think though, who knows how comprehensive this FBI report is going to be and just how many programs will be implemented.
