Several players in Illinois' 2016 recruiting class have already reaffirmed their commitments.
One of the most important aspects of the Tim Beckman firing is its impact on Illinois football's recruiting efforts. Currently, the Illini have received verbal commitments from 15 high school players (14 of which are in the class of 2016) and you can bet that each one of them will be reconsidering their decisions during the ongoing transition.
Signing day is still months away so it's likely that several of the aforementioned recruits will have changes of heart, but the early reports have definitely been encouraging.
