More specifics are coming out on Arizona's attempts to buy 5 star PG recruit Jahvon Quinerly. The excerpt below is from a story in the Tucson Arizona Daily Star. The wording in the article clearly implies Jahvon's mother was looking for money, but isn't clear on whether the recruit himself asked for, or received any funds.
An FBI wiretap recorded a June conversation between Dawkins and Richardson in which the two discuss a high school basketball player that Richardson was going to pay to come play for the UA, the complaint says.
On June 20, Richardson met with Sood and an undercover FBI agent in New York and accepted a $5,000 cash bribe, according to the complaint.
A few weeks later, Dawkins told an undercover agent that Richardson needed another $15,000 to secure the player, who Dawkins identified as a “top point guard in the country,” the complaint says.
On July 20, in a meeting at Sood’s New Jersey office, Richardson collected the $15,000 and told Sood and an undercover agent that the player in question had committed, but his mother was asking for money because “she didn’t know what I was already doing for her son,” the complaint says.
