and perhaps that's why he didn't take those offers.
The choice being, play for a national championship contender, maybe get a few minutes a night when they need to plug in a three-point shooter, work on your masters at a prestigious academic institution, move your family across the country for a year...
vs.
Don't have to uproot the family, still attend a very good school, be a starter and key player under a coach you already know and love, give whatever pro scouts are interested more chances to see you play than if you're only getting 10 minutes a night.
I'm biased, but I think he made a very good long term decision.
