Do you think we're actually in the mix? His dad is a UK grad, but it sounds like he's willing to (possibly) visit Iowa in the future. I'd say if that happens, there is a chance. If it doesn't, then probably not.
Hard to know for sure but he seemed sincere. That he visited here last month and he's trying to come back because his parents want to see it is a good sign, IMO. We'll have to see if that happens.
