I would. I certainly understand that Dee loves his school. But I certainly wouldn't put it past Self to be maintaining relationships with a specific purpose. In the event that Jerrance leaves for a head job at some point, there will need to be an Illinois/Chicago area recruiting connection. And if you were Dee, wouldn't it be tough to say no thanks particularly when it doesn't seem like there would be a similar opportunity at Illinois (though I still have no idea why he left/was asked to leave). Although I understand that Dee is becomingly increasingly influential in the AAU area of Chicago which can prove to be quite lucrative and full of power/influence. Self is just being wise keeping a connection there that he can. It doesn't please me at all but I see what's going on there.
Spot on.
