Nassir Little dropped Arizona because of the FBI investigation

After the Arizona Wildcats and Miami Hurricanes were linked to a recruiting scandal unearthed by an FBI investigation last Tuesday, five-star recruit Nassir Little immediately eliminated them from consideration, he told ESPN.

The Department of Justice’s complaint alleged Arizona and Miami may have offered a recruit (many believe was Little) over $100,000, so Little felt it was best to distance himself from the allegations.

"For me, I just didn't want to be mixed in a situation where any of the accusations seemed like it was true,” he said.
