Sports Illustrated backs up Sean Miller’s denial of ESPN’s wiretap report

Sean Miller took to the podium Thursday to strongly deny the ESPN report that alleged wiretaps have him discussing a $100,000 payment with former ASM employee Christian Dawkins to secure the signing of Deandre Ayton.

The Arizona Wildcats head coach claimed he has never knowingly broken NCAA rules and never will.

“Let me be very, very clear. I have never discussed with Christian Dawkins paying Deandre Ayton to attend the University of Arizona. In fact, I never even met or spoke to Christian Dawkins until Deandre publicly announced that he is coming to our school,” Miller said.
