Derka…why are you so passionate and why do you pretend to know what’s best for this kid? Is it because you mentored a “high D-1 athlete “? What was your pinnacle of athletic success that would make you such an expert in choosing from an endless number of offers? I will never pretend to know what it’s like to be an 18 year old black kid with 5 stars and a million dollar NIL deal waiting. I was a white safety with 9 offers. 2 P5, a handful of G5 and two 1AA (one was a HBCU). I signed to play at a G5 school, because I wanted to see the field. I could have gone to UVA and received a much superior education, but I didn’t want to back up an all American. I wanted to see the field. My point is, don’t try to get in this kids head, he’s 18 and is doing what he think is best for him. I have a feeling that things will work out ok for him. And if they don’t, at least he chose his own path. I still wish I had that UVA degree, but I’ve managed to be successful without it. Things happen how they should, so don’t get so worked up about the decision of a kid that you’ve never met. He will be ok.
