I know that we've been paying a lot of attention to Leron Black and his crystal ball predictions in recent weeks, and, well, this latest news is not going to stop the rumors that Black is going to end up at Illinois.

Oh? Is that so? The only other two teams people had predicted for Black were Memphis and Florida. Also, you can click that link if you want but it's subscriber only. Though, no worry, John Martin continued with a few more tweets on the situation.
I've maintained for quite some time that Illinois is the favorite for Leron Black. Still believe that to be the case.

Leron Black: "I just feel like I need to leave the city, just to grow up as a person. And that I'd be more focused." http://t.co/ZAqiHZEtO4

So, yeah. Don't go celebrating just yet, but this is certainly a good sign.
