Arkansas target Black's court battle continues

Arkansas 2022 5-star basketball recruiting target Anthony Black of Duncanville, Texas, was cleared to play the rest of the season on Tuesday, but another appeal was filed to at least temporarily keep that from happening.

Black (6-7, 200) had played his team’s previous nine games since getting a temporary injunction on Nov. 13 after Texas’ University Scholastic League ruled him ineligible upon his transfer from Coppell, Texas, in August.

The Razorback target was allowed to play for Duncanville (12-0) – the nation’s top high school team, per MaxPreps – until his temporary injunction appeal was adjudicated.

A favorable decision for Black was announced Tuesday, but the UIL immediately filed for its own temporary injunction to keep him from playing.
