The top half of the Arizona Wildcats' 2018 recruiting board is shattered, less than two weeks after assistant coach Book Richardson was arrested on federal bribery and fraud charges.

On Saturday, five-star center Bol Bol became the latest five-star prospect from the class of 2018 to drop the Wildcats. Bol also eliminated USC, which had an assistant coach arrested along with Richardson and eight other college basketball figures on Sept. 26 as a result of a sweeping FBI investigation.

Speaking at the same USA Basketball minicamp in Colorado, Jahvon Quinerly told ESPN, Scout and Yahoo that he remains committed to the Wildcats “for now" while declining to comment on allegations he took $15,000 from a sports agent via Richardson.
