Lamont Evans was also involved. Evans was hired by former Ok State & current Illinois coach Brad Underwood for the 2016 season, after being with South Carolina beforehand. More details need to come out but with adidas, bribes to steer current players to sponsors after school, plus likely "shoe company recruiting" implications involved it is highly likely that some schools and head coaches will be getting the wrath of the NCAA upon them. But it seems like this is just the tip of the iceberg criminally so it'll be interesting to see where the DOJ goes from here.
On a related note, this gives the NCAA perfect cover to let UNC off with a slap on the wrist. "We have massive recruiting and eligibility fraud to deal with so we disposed of all prior investigations with agreed upon lowered sanctions to expedite the process."
After all, it was only bigger than all other cheating scandals in NCAA history combined. UNC only took in a bit over a BILLION dollars while they were cheating.
If Underwood is named, it could help with Ayo.
Just to clarify, two former, but recent Underwood (the current Illinois HC) assistants have been named/arrested?
He visited Wake with some Texas recruits last year. It's been speculated that we're looking at him as preferred walk on.

What guy?
2018 guard Elijah Elliott (@EJElliott_5) tells me he plans on taking a visit to Wake Forest this fall. Likely an official. No date set yet
