Absolutely.
Having them sit out is absurd.
They are not employees and should not be subject to essentially a no compete clause.

I didn't know what the circumstances were. It is not ultimately up to Whitman or these ADs would be just be trading favors.
The NCAA has to be final arbiter I would think.
They must have requested a waiver based on being closer to family. 
Certainly supporting that by UI AD is right thing to do.

Surprised this Canadian cat was not persuaded by all our great new facilities when he picked ASU over ILL. Guenther Lite may want to open the checkbook a little wider for things other than facilities.

It’s truly shocking

The success rate when recruiting Canada guys has been so high for Illinois. I think this miss drops their batting average from .000 to .0000

Yeah, I remember when people thought we were in on Jamal Murray.

Well, except for Davis at center they were kind of terrible.
Might as well blow it up.

Unfortunately this opens the door for them to bring in good basketball players

What good player in their right mind will want to go to that dumpster fire rebuild?

They should be down for at least there years. If the rumor about a Mike Woodson experiment is true, it could be a whole decade.

Another swing and a miss for the illinment.  How many top recruits have they missed over the past 7 or 8 months?  Seems like a ton.  This is getting kind of concerning.

Lots of competition for these elite level kids. Got a couple good pieces. Having openings could end up being a blessing in disguise going into this crazy transfer season. Keep a healthy mix of top 100 HS talent coming in along with college known quantities
