An ESPN report surfaced Friday that FBI wiretaps have Arizona Wildcats head coach Sean Miller discussing a $100,000 payment with former ASM employee Christian Dawkins to secure the signing of star freshman Deandre Ayton.

That attorney, Paul Kelly, also added that Ayton has “abided by all applicable rules and regulations and is fully eligible to participate as a member of the Men’s Basketball team.
