it's not as if he can't return and finish the last bit of his schooling if basketball doesn't pan out. and it's not as if he has to start over. it's 1 or 2 semesters to finish up. Heck, he could do that during the offseason or online during the season if he wanted. there are so many options nowadays. There is a finite window to play ball. that doesn't mean it has to be 1 or the other.
