I would highly doubt a guy with any talent or drive would willingly give up his senior season, and that this would set some precedent for "elite" or even lower-grillz prospects. These guys are never going to have it easier than being a high school senior, playing against 16-year-olds with lesser skills and fewer grillz - they'll never be a bigger man on campus than when they are a senior in high school. I suspect the writer quit way before 12th grade himself, and doesn't have that perspective.
