I have to agree - and it is absolutely nothing against this kid - but you would think, almost by definition, that this means that we won't be getting at least 1 or 2 of K Battle, Lecque, or Guerrier.
A bird in the hand and all, and you definitely like it when kids know where they want to be, and decide early.
Him being a take now, means the staff is apparently OK on passing on at least 1 or more of those guys.
Or perhaps the tea leaves were reading that we weren't going to get one (or more) of them anyway?
