Great article. The young man has a big decision ahead and hopefully everything works out fine for him.
In regards to recruiting, the wild card is always those "late bloomers". He's a perfect example, going from a 2 star to potential 4 star overnight. Kids progress at different stages ... look at all the players we've had who have not totally bloomed until their senior year in college. Another great example of this is Zach Johnson. He was not even the #1 player on his high school team and lightly recruited for college. He has now won 12 PGA events, 2 majors and is now #11 on the all-time PGA money list.
