Don't think there should be immediate eligibility unless a coach is replaced or there are circumstances in the players life  that would benefit them transferring to a school close to their family/guardian etc.  Close is a relative term, so maybe approx 200 to 300 miles from the players home.  If immediate eligibility is granted, you'll find the lower level schools will end up being farm systems for the more elite programs.  You'll find some good players will stay a school for one or two years and transfer to a school that is more likely  to make the tournament or win a National Championship.  Some Coaches at Elite schools instead of recruiting High School players will start recruiting players after they have completed their Freshmen or Sophomore years of college.  Sure coaches will still recruit the Elite High School players, but why spend scholarship money on a player you're not sure will develop when you can recruit a player with one or more years of college experience.
