I don't know anything about this particular situation, but in general I think people underestimate (or forget about) the "stress" that students endure moving away from home to a new place.
 
Many of these kids have grown up in one place and never lived anywhere else, and are suddenly in an entirely new place with no familiar faces, no friends or family, and lots of new responsibilites.  Some of them have probably never even traveled far from home, and even if they did they were with their parents or guardians and not on their own.
 
I'm actually surprised that it doesn't happen more often when players sign with teams far away from home and get homesick and end up leaving.  Though I think it's happened to Syracuse a few times in recent memory (Derek Hines a couple years ago only lasted a day or two coming from California, Jalen Harvey this offseason I think left to go back closer to home, I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting).
