MSU, U-M have a shot at 'maniac' DL from Cincinnati | detnews.com | The Detroit News

"Black is a player who could line up as a defensive end or at the tackle position," said Scout.com Midwest analyst Dave Berk. "He's got great burst and will give all out effort on each play. He does a good job going lateral and shows great strength and toughness. With good size and speed, Black is still learning techniques and moves that will take his game to another level."

That boyhood affinity for the Maize and Blue may be the biggest reason the Wolverines are still in the hunt. Were it not for that distinction there's a good chance they'd be on the outside looking in at a race featuring a quartet of schools that Black has already visited. Michigan is the only member of his top five that he hasn't seen yet. The Wolverines' position may be growing more precarious by the day since he could be on the verge of paring down his list for the final time. Currently he has only one more summer visit scheduled, and it's not to Ann Arbor.
Said Black, "Hopefully, I'll make it up to Michigan State if I'm not committed on July 11th."
If that decision timetable holds, the Spartans still have a puncher's chance at securing Black's services. However, the notion that he wouldn't make the trip to East Lansing on the 11th if he makes a commitment suggests that another of his suitors might currently be the team to beat. For his part, Black isn't overtly tipping his hand regarding his leanings. He speaks only of the criteria that will lead him to his final choice.
"It's going to come down to where I fit best," he explained. "It's where I think I fit best at and where I'll develop more so I can hopefully make it to the next level."
In what might be the sprint to the finish line, Cincinnati, Kentucky and Indiana have a few innate advantages over their Great Lakes state adversaries. Cincinnati and Kentucky both boast closer proximity. Indiana, meanwhile, is fairly close as well, but also has the additional benefit of sophomore defensive tackle Larry Black -- Jibreel's brother -- on its football team. A recent trip to Bloomington may be the last he takes before he arrives at a decision.

"I still want to make sure that the school I want to go to is the right school for me and my family, first and foremost," he said. "I want to make sure that the school has a winning attitude. I don't want to go to a losing team. So that's what is holding it up -- it is just a tough decision."
Four of his five suitors are currently hoping it's a little too tough.
