I more prefer Oscar to JPNR, he already close to Jaune and others and he has a lot space to developed. I honestly think Oscar will hang out with Qrow at this point.

So if Ilia joins the remnants of JNR, then it would most likely be JIRN as a team name or some shit. Ditto. Besides, based on what's been shown, there is no guarentee they will reclaim the WF by time they leave Haven, seeing as Adam didn't bring the whole organization with him, and we have no idea if he'll escape or not. She'll probably stick with Blake to help out, cause even if Blake finds out about Salem and rejoins the group, she'll probably be still involved with stopping Adam considering he's under Salem, meaning she'd devote herself specifically to that aspect of stopping Salem. And since Ilia wants to help stop the WF, she'd still stick with Blake.

.... Then again there isn't really a need for the 4 to a Team Format anymore, they aren't in school anymore. RWBY and RNJR will always have bonds, but there isn't a need to make people join teams. Ilia could end up joining and just be a member of the Group. And considering even without Ilia, there are 10 people in the Group (I'm counting Sun cause we all know damnwell that Sun is tagging along) and Qrow obviously isn't gonna be on a team with Teenagers, that still leaves an odd number. And Sun still has a team, and I doubt Oscar, holding the Spirit of Ozpin/The Next Ozpin, is gonna join a team, it would still be no fourth member for a group. They may just abandon the Team format and become a single group.
