The sophomore forward is leaving Illinois after two seasons.
Illinois Basketball has announced that sophomore forward Austin Colbert will be leaving the program; he averaged 1.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game this year while playing just under 8 minutes per contest. Colbert is now the second player to transfer from Illinois this offseason, he joins junior guard Aaron Cosby who announced he'll be headed to Western Kentucky as a graduate transfer.
Colbert was a 4-star recruit when he originally committed to the Illini out of Gill St. Bernard School in Lakeville, CT. He selected Illinois over Villanova, Seton Hall, Miami, and Vanderbilt and helped solidify the program's 2013 recruiting class as one of the top 20 in the nation.
