There's little doubt the could have potentially seismic implications for the Arizona Wildcats.

Here's one look at them:

鈥� Jahvon Quinerly is unlikely to play for Arizona, and may not play college ball at all. Quinerly appears to be the player given money from agents through Richardson and if the NCAA finds he took it, Quinerly could be suspended for part or all of his freshman season (though it may be more likely at this point he doesn't play college ball at all, and just plays professionally overseas before joining the 2019 NBA Draft).

How do we know it's Quinerly? The document reported that Richardson took a total of $20,000 in bribes and gave most of it to a "top point guard" who committed 鈥渁round three days鈥� before Aug. 11. Quinerly, a five-star point guard, that he would play for to Arizona.

鈥� The rest of UA's recruiting class could dissolve. Brandon Williams and Shareef O'Neal may not want to take chances signing with a program that could be under NCAA investigation.

鈥� UA coach Sean Miller's status could be affected. While Miller isn鈥檛 implicated in any wrongdoing on the federal complaint, the U.S. attorney at Tuesday鈥檚 press conference stated that it is a continuing investigation. Obviously, any subsequent NCAA investigation will seek to find out if Miller was involved or had knowledge of it, too.

鈥� Current UA players could be declared ineligible if they were found to have taken money from an agent. There is a reference in the document to a current player already having taken payments.

While聽Richardson spoke of directing two current players to the agent, there is no suggestion those players have received any money from him or an agent.

鈥� Other UA coaches could be questioned. There are references to the agents' meetings with Richardson and another, unnamed UA coach, suggesting more than one coach may have known what happened.

鈥� Finally, of course, a subsequent NCAA investigation could result in sanctions against Arizona, likely in the area of recruiting but possibly involving games 鈥� especially if current players are found to have taken payments.

While the timing could make it unlikely for an investigation to lead to immediate sanctions, the 2018-19 and subsequent seasons could be affected.

The five charges facing Richardson:

1. Conspiracy to commit bribery

2. Solicitation of bribes and gratuities by an agent of a federally funded organization.

3. Conspiracy to commit honest services fraud

4. Honest services wire fraud

5. Wire fraud conspiracy

Here is a more detailed breakdown of key notes from the complaint that involves Richardson and Arizona:

71. Richardson was paid $20,000, some of which he 鈥渁ppears to have kept for himself and some of which he appears to have provided to at least one prospective high school basketball players.鈥� In exchange for the payments, Richardson agreed to use his influence over the athletes he coached to retain two advisors, Christian Dawkins and Munish Sood.

73. Sood said he would meet with two UA coaches at a restaurant in Las Vegas on March 8, the evening before the Wildcats played their first Pac-12 Tournament game. Sood later said 鈥渢he coaches are interested in definitely working with us鈥� but that the coaches wanted to wait until after the NCAA Tournament.

83. Sood said Dawkins introduced him to Oklahoma State鈥檚 Lamont Evans as well as coaches as Arizona and other universities.

87c. Dawkins said a coach such as Richardson 鈥渕ay need these two kids, and he may need like a grand a month, two grand a month to get something done for this kid.鈥�

88. In June 2017, Dawkins 鈥渞eapproached Richards about receiving bribes in exchange for convincing student-athletes on (Arizona鈥檚) basketball team to retain the services of the new company formed by Dawkins, Sood and (an undercover FBI agent).鈥�

89a. On or about June 20, 2017, Dawkins made reference to one basketball player at (Arizona) who already had received payments, so we got no expenses there.鈥�

Richardson told Dawkins that a recruit would be on campus that weekend so asked 鈥渨ould I be out of bounds to try to get five from him?鈥�

Richardson said he had suggested UA athletes to pick from a group of agents in the past but would not 鈥渟imply tell players to retain Dawkins and his company.鈥�

Richardson also committed to 鈥渟teer a particular student-athlete who was on (Arizona鈥檚 roster) to Dawkins and his company, stating 鈥業鈥檓 telling you (Dawkins) is getting (this player). 鈥� there鈥檚 no ifs ands or buts about that. I鈥檝e already talked with (the player鈥檚) mom, I鈥檝e talked with his cousin.鈥�

At the end of the meeting, the undercover agent gave Richardson $5,000 in cash in exchange for his agreement to direct some UA players to Dawkins鈥� firm.

91. On or about July 5, Dawkins asked the undercover agent to pay another $15,000 to Richardson which Richardson would, according to Dawkins, 鈥減rovide to (a top recruit) in order to influence (recruit) to attend (Arizona).鈥�

Dawkins told the undercover agent that Richardson had 鈥渢he top point guard in the country,鈥� who was ready to commit to Arizona but that Richardson needed to provide the player $15,000 鈥淎SAP basically.鈥� Dawkins said Richardson was willing to meet the undercover agent in Atlanta, South Carolina or 鈥渇ly to New York and pick it up and take it to the kid鈥檚 mom.鈥�

93. On July 7, Dawkins spoke to the undercover agent by telephone and told him that Richardson would accept $15,000 extra as an advance for his $5,000 monthly fee and said that if the agent 鈥渃ould get this thing done鈥�(Sean Miller) is talking out of his mouth, he wants (the recruit) bad as (expletive). So the leverage I have with the program would be ridiculous at that point.鈥�

When the agent asked where Richardson would give the money Dawkins said its sometimes best to go the recruit鈥檚 handler because 鈥渢he kids 90 percent of the time ain鈥檛 making they own decisions. They don鈥檛 (expletive) care.鈥�

94. On or about July 20, Richardson met with Sood and, in a recording by the FBI agent, said the recruit had 鈥渃ommitted to us鈥� but that his mom asked for money because 鈥渟he didn鈥檛 know what I was already doing for her son.鈥� Richardson also said in reference to directing players to Sood, Dawkins and the undercover agent that 鈥渢his is done.鈥�

97. On or about Aug. 11, Dawkins noted that 鈥淚 know the guy with the 15 grand we gave him, he committed to (Arizona) like three days ago. 鈥� so that deal got done.鈥�

99. On or about Aug. 30, Richardson met with Sood, Dawkins and another undercover FBI agent to discuss players he might be able to influence. Richardson spoke a current UA player who was 鈥渒ind of a sheltered kid鈥� and assured Dawkins that he had spoken to the player鈥檚 handler and that the player was 鈥済oing to be insulated in who he talks to鈥� you鈥檙e looking at that guy.鈥濃�� They also discussed another current UA player of whom Richardson said he would 鈥渨ork that.鈥�

100. The handler met later that day with Dawkins, Sood and the undercover agent and noted that he wondered 鈥渨hat is Book tryin鈥� to get out of it,鈥� but said he was strongly inclined to sign with Dawkins鈥� firm.
