What he got from everybody here is that we want what’s best for him. He was very realistic about what he had done here and said if some other guys had done their job, he might not have played as much. He said, ‘I don’t want to hurt you guys. I’m very appreciative for what you’ve done for me and I think I got better.’ “He’s going to be 22 and there is only a small window for him to go and make money. And he can do it back home where he’s had success before. He told us he’d worked out a plan where he’ll be able to finish what he needs to academically. He really thought about this. He came in and saw everybody. Said thank you, gave hugs and goodbyes. He said, ‘I appreciate it and I’ll stay in touch.’”

As stated in that thread...you can't hate on a guy for making that decision. It's his live and his family's well being.
