Brandon Williams, the 6-foot-4 point guard from Encino (CA) Crespi and Cal Supreme Elite, remains committed to Arizona but won’t sign during the NCAA early signing period beginning Wednesday because of the ongoing college basketball bribery scandal, according to the L.A. Times.
Williams, who is ranked the No. 7 point guard in the Class of 2018, also considered Kansas, Gonzaga, UCLA and USC before ultimately choosing Arizona in June.
He also told the L.A. Times that Shareef O’Neal, the 6-9 power forward from Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences who is Shaquille’s son, also won’t sign early.
Former Arizona assistant Book Richardson was among those arrested Sept. 26 by the FBI.
Since then, several high-profile Class of 2018 prospects removed Arizona from consideration, including R.J. Barrett, Bol Bol and Simi Shittu. Jahvon Quinerly also decommitted from Arizona last month in the wake of the FBI probe.
