Without knowing this young man, their seems to be some obvious tea leaves we can all read.

1. He wants to be close to home to play and that bodes well for us. I hope that approach stays strong in his final decisions.

2. He needs to be in a program that is established so he can learn and grow as a player and student. I truly feel his family will see (as much respect I have for UW) SMC will have the the edge on that and he won't get lost as he did at FSU.

3. SMC also provides the distance to get away and stay in touch with his home community.

As much as many would look at Big Time Pac12, I have to say this young man wants to find a home.
