Message: [QUOTE="armory, post: 383282, member: 744"] If he is relatively close friends with BJJ, I find it difficult to imagine him not committing unless another school stands out head and shoulders above SU (which doesn't appear to be the case). We tend to overanalyze these decisions even moreso than the ones making them, but you have to put yourself in the mind of a 17-yr old kid (not that difficult for some of you!). Ultimately it just comes down to the intangible of where players feel most comfortable ... and it's always easy to imagine being comfortable with friends, regardless of where. There would have to be a [I]significant[/I] benefit of going elsewhere to overcome that. The top 5 star guys tend to put bball ahead of all that, but at the end of the day the typical player is still a teenage kid leaving home for the first time. [/QUOTE]
