And i don't think that would be a wise decision. Sure he will be guaranteed a spot for any competition, but his PCS will never rise and judges will be more conservative on GOEs. While in US, his PCS will rise just by landing his quads. He has the door wide open for the next 4 years. He can be consistently in top 2 at least, in US men standings. And top 2 usually means having a shot for major competitions medals.Wait. Where is there any indication that Ilia is going to switch federations?

There's no reason to give this speculation any credence or life at all.
Better to keep US fed politicking power.
