When the Illini lose a recruit, it always hurts. No matter what recruit it is, the Illini need more depth on the team and losing players is never a good thing.

Jakai Clark announced on Twitter Monday morning that he is flipping his commitment. He has decided to back away from his commitment to Illinois and, instead, committed play football for the University of Miami.
