Title: How many recruits do you think Zona lost out on because of the FBI scandal?

I think think of a few right off of the top of my head.

Sharif O'Neill decommitted after the shizzle hit the fan, but we missed a bullet with him, he's been a pretty big bust.

Not only did we miss out on Shareef's inability...we avoided deeper sanctions because he was the player whose transcript was ineligible to attend Arizona. Not sure how the hell he got into UCLA but I'm thankful he did because their doctors caught his heart condition, which eventually saved  his life.

There's a few recruits rhat skipped on Arizona. It would be easy to prove that ESPN single-handedly (and purposely) affected our reputation. Without them, it was obvious that the ncaa wouldn't come down hard on our program (or staff) because espn's allegations were BS.

Jahvon Quinerly (for sure)
KJ Simpson
Shane Dezonie
Peyton Watson
Paolo Banchero (really close)
Arthur Kaluma
Nathan Bittle

That's just some off the top. That's the year Miller left 2021

Only the ones that Sean Miller had interested or signed. No excuse for the ones Tommy keeps missing on what so ever.

Art Kaluma, Paolo, KJ Simpson, and Quinerly bothered me a lot. Those players would have thrived under Miller's tutelage

Paolo would've been nice to have at Arizona..Him and Benn playing together, could've been punishing teams!

I didn't know about Shareef having a heart condition..That's great their doctors caught onto it, and he's doing ok health wize.
