Five-star forward Simi Shittu has canceled his official visit to Arizona, reports Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com.
The visit was scheduled for Nov. 3.
While no reason was given for the cancelation, it’s fair to assume it’s at least somewhat linked to the recruiting scandal Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Book Richardson was arrested in.
It’s not clear if Shittu has completely dropped Arizona from consideration or if he just canceled his official visit.
In August, the 6-foot-8 forward had Arizona in his top 10 along with Arizona State, UConn, Kentucky, New Mexico, UNC, Notre Dame, Oregon, South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
