Reports are that his mother is very ill and he will go pro so he can pay medical expenses. Cannot blame him for that. In fact, if that is the case I would say it is admirable. Now, did he contribute enough that he will be sorely missed? Perhaps not to date. But he is a Wildcat so I wish him all the best.
I lived in Colombia for two years (many years ago). They are beautiful people but economically very poor. I would imagine going home before his college career is over took some deep soul searching. Let's all wish him well and thank him for whatever contributions he made to KState.
