I'm not sure what they mean by "recruiting," but isn't he likely a replacement for Nichols, director of player personnel?

That would be a "recruiting position".

I thought schools couldn't have recruiting positions anymore.

It's not a dedicated "recruiting position"

The director of player personnel does everything except directly talk to recruits off campus.

He coordinates on-campus recruiting efforts and relations with high school coaches, among other duties, for head coach Tim Beckman and the Fighting Illini staff.
