So, he's definitely gone. To give some background, I was told a couple weeks ago to look into the situation because there had been some rumors about him not coming to Arizona. He had already taken down the "Arizona commit" out of his Twitter bio at that point so I figured something was up, but he has gone silent so I was never able to confirm with him. When Arizona took his commitment I said that the program was not really in a position to turn something like that down but there were certainly plenty of red flags. When he committed to Arizona he was flipping from FIU where he had been committed to earlier so to see him flip again to USF this time is not really a surprise.

It's pretty clear he wants to stay home in Florida and now he'll have that chance. He's not worth the drama in my opinion so maybe a bit of addition by subtraction for UA, but that still leaves a thin group up front. I don't think the group this year is as bad as people think it is, but next year it could take a hit. Arizona will need to have some guys really develop quickly or play before they're ready since there are a few seniors in this group who all contribute.

He's not yet enrolled yet at USF but the word is that it is taking his commitment and for now the relationship between Boles and Arizona is over.
