We do have to remember that he is a 17 year old kid.
He has traveled and been to many places, but that is not the same as moving 2,000 miles from home for 4 years.
I would be happy with him visiting, handing us his signed LOI and going home.
If I remember, he is working out with the New Zealand National team. Which will be good for him.
He then can get his fun out of the way and be ready to come and play here.
Remember when Barry let Alec go home early at Christmas that one year? He hadn't been home for like a year and a half and really needed to be there.
Sometimes we forget that these young men and women leave their support systems to come live here. I get to go home every night and see the family. Heck both my wife and my families live here so we can see them any time we want. (We can also avoid them when we want. )
It can be hard on some.
So let him enjoy his summer after his senior year and come here for our summer to learn what he needs to know.
