Question Wheaton...
He visited Oregon in early November. The regular football season wasn't even over then... In fact, since that time personally I have changed two classes, broken up with my gf and gotten back with her, watched HS Football and BB seasons end, and gone on numerous college visits. Most importantly, I have changed my preferred college choice about 4 times.
Seriously, so much has happened since November I hardly remember anything about Depaul (which I visited then). The only good comments made about Oregon were made before he visited UT and LSU (arguably the best two programs to enter his recruitment.)
Finally, the weekend before his commitment, he is visiting UT (which he visited less than a month ago) on his own dime.
I can personally assure you, no HS Senior would commit to a school he hasn't seen since November. And if he did... he would wanna go look again to make sure.
Even you stated distance was a problem. Do you really think he wouldn't wanna come back and visit again if that's where he was going?
This is just from the perspective of a HS senior just as BB is (well not just haha but you get it).
