You think Scheer loses his job if Miller is fired? You kidding? His site gets more clicks and memberships during controversies, coaching fires and hires than at any time. When has Scheer been wrong in this situation? He found the discrepancies in the story, pointed them out, and his superiors went with them and published a story.
As for the other journalist, I can't back any report that corrects itself three times and still has major holes. There's a reason that none of his constituents are publicly backing him and following up on the report, at the moment.
Play it out, Miller gets fired, UA can't recruit and likely won't replace Miller with a big name. The program isn't going to die, the fan base is too strong, but it's not going to be what it is now and won't be for several years IMO if Miller is guilty. The reason Scheer works for 247 now is that industry is totally changing, it's shrinking and consolidating and it's now much harder for people doing that to survive. I agree controversy sells but the pay sites are getting tougher and tougher to sell if the program goes into a down cycle, people will be less inclined to pay money to hear about recruiting etc.
I will say this, one of the reporters today made a comment that took me back to my original thought when this story first broke, that it has to be a mistake. he said that he has a source who's familiar with the tapes that says Miller will eventually be exonerated on THIS CHARGE when the truth comes out. he didn't say UA still won't get in trouble over Book etc but he thinks the Miller and Ayton story will be proven to be false.
now if that means Hansen is right and it's really Bowen, that's great news for Ayton, but it doesn't do Miller any favors since he would still have been talking about money for a player. If it's Nassir Little, it helps because we know he didn't actually get money the AAU guy kept it.
Bowen actually fits the original timeline before ESPN corrected the year, he committed, by surprise, to Louisville in June 2017 so the origina date for the wiretaps would work there, but obviously make Schlabach look bad getting the date wrong multiple times and getting the player wrong.
I don't know what's going to come out but the longer ARizona meets with Miller and doesn't announce they believe him and are keeping him the more likely it appears they might not believe him.
The recruiting is dead in the water, Shareef just committed to UCLA(I don't even want him) and there are rumors Brandon Williams will decommit and follow Shareef to UCLA althoguh we have Tyger Campbell now so not sure how that would work. Gershon has been telling BRO for awhile that Cassius Stanley is very unlikely to look at Arizona or USC now because his dad is concerned about the FBI story so UCLA leads for him. That's not bragging about UCLA recruiting it's saying kids who are tied into things through their fathers(Stanley's dad an agent) seem to be of the opinion ARizona is in trouble.
