Never Too Late To Be Famous

Former Arizona Wildcat recruit Jarrid Famous might be back on the rebound.

Famous, a First Team Division 1 Junior College All-American, had signed a letter of intent on Apr. 23 with South Florida might be leaving the Sunshine state before he even arrived.

Mickey Carey, an assistant coach at Westchester Community College told the Tampa Tribune that Famous does not “feel comfortable with USF anymore.”

Famous was one of six recruits signed by South Florida which finished 4-14 in the Big East with a 9-22 Overall record. Famous was the most hyped recruit out of the six recruits and could have been the recruit to help South Florida Head Coach Stan Heath turn around the program.

Famous was a machine at Westchester Community College who lead the nation in scoring and rebounds this season.

Famous scored 757 points in 30 games averaging out to 25.2 points per game (third in the country due to other players played fewer games than him) and pulled down 408 rebounds averaging out to 13.6 rebounds a game (second in the country).

Famous is willing to sit out a year before transferring if he is unable to get out of his letter of intent. It is speculated that Arizona, Missouri and Seton Hall are leading candidates if Famous is able to get out of his letter of intent.

In other Arizona Wildcat news, former Arizona signee Tremayne Johnson signed with Eastern Washington. Johnson was the first recruit signed by the Wildcats back February.

However, once Sean Miller was announced Head Coach back in April, Johnson’s named was never discussed and he decided not to sign with the Wildcats. Johnson had also received a offer from San Francisco but chose to sign with Eastern Washington.

Johnson will have three years of eligibility after red-shirting his sophomore year at L.A. Southwest College.
