1Family Hoops, the Orlando-based AAU basketball program whose director Jonathan Brad Augustine was among 10 people arrested Tuesday in the FBI probe into college basketball recruiting, went to Twitter on Thursday to defend one of its players, highly-touted recruit Nassir Little.
Although Little’s name does not appear anywhere in the 100-page indictment, he became linked to the bribery and corruption scandal because he plays for Augustine’s team, and two of the five schools he announced as his finalists – the University of Arizona and University of Miami – were implicated in the report.
Arizona assistant Emanuel “Book” Richardson was charged and arrested.
