And when you're a young kid, you need people who can give you
the best advice before you make such a decision. He either didn't take the advice, or took bad advice.

All I can surmise is that he must have really, really wanted out. I don't know

This. I don't understand why so many people on this board are defending him

I don't think it's fair to say it was a poor decision. It's definitely one that

He's already 22, his arms aren't getting any longer, and he isn't going to be more athletic. By staying, he's losing out
