It was announced last night that defensive end Joshua Black has decommitted from the program and will reopen his recruitment back up.
Black had been committed to Illinois since June of 2015 but since then the Illini have been through some major coaching turmoil. This had to have had an effect on his recruitment process.
According to 247sports, Black is rated as a 3-star recruit that is ranked as the 42nd best player in the state of Illinois and the 1,471st best player in the country.
I have decommitted from the University of Illinois.
