Nassir Little’s family ‘did not ask for, nor were offered money,’ per AAU program

The FBI arrested 10 people for bribery, fraud, and conspiracy among other charges Tuesday after they allegedly committed unlawful acts on the college basketball recruiting trail.

One of those people was Brad Augustine, the now-former director of AAU team, 1 Family.

The Department of Justice’s complaint alleges Augustine helped funnel payments to two recruits in return for their commitments to Adidas schools.

One of those recruits is suspected to be five-star wing Nassir Little, but 1 Family denied any wrongdoing by its program’s players and families Thursday, releasing this statement on Twitter:

“The Little family did not ask for, nor were offered money by an institution or individual.
