The wiretap revealed talk of a $100,000 payment involving Miller and to Ayton who was a top recruit in the 2017 Arizona class and is now a freshman there.
Arizona Daily Star sports editor Ryan Finley reported Ayton was playing Saturday, and the school hadn’t given indictation if Miller, the brother of former University of Dayton men’s basketball coach Archie Miller, would be suspended or fired.
The Friday's report also cost Arizona top recruit Shareef O'Neal, the son of NBA great and basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal. Shareef O'Neal announced he had re-opened his recruitment on Saturday afternoon on his personal Twitter account.
At this time I'm am opening up my recruitment due to the current events with the UofA Bball team.I would like to thank all the coaches for recruiting me. At the time my family and I think it's in my best interest to look at other options to assure my play in the NCAA next year.
