While that is a fact of life. Everything is not money based. The things I‘ve enjoyed most in life haven’t been dependent on the all mighty dollar.
I can't even remember anything about my senior year of high school. Just a big nothing burger. I feel like that "its such a magical time" narrative is so overblown.
My biggest regret is not realizing how unimportant high school was when I was in high school.
Socially, sure…but it sets the tone for the rest of your life. Where/if you go to college…Study habits…
Social skills (whether you use them w/the same set of people or not)…HS is huge for growth.
I disagree…It‘s actually important for many reasons. It sets the tone and trajectory of your adult life. Too many people goof off, and then end up with fewer options for a meaningful career in a field that they want to pursue…and instead, have to take a job that they end up despising.
As you grow older your options either open up or close...depends on how you perform. I've known people who overcame poor high school performance...but they were extremely talented in some way.
"Overblown " ? Man, if it wasn`t the best year of my life, it`s probably in the top two. About all I did was play ball, hunt and fish with my buddies and date my cheerleader girl friend! The funny thing is, I distinctly remember thinking right in the middle of all that, " I`m not at all sure that things can be any better than this! ".
Unless you are a 5 star receiver, the #1 player in your class, have a scholly to Bama and you have a likely future NFL career I think you are wasting your time trying to figure out what he should do about his senior year.
40 years ago, I would have said stay in school, enjoy your time, playing ball in college can wait...blah, blah, blah.
But it ain't 40 years ago.

It’s quite Hard to tell your dreams to wait.
Hard to make high six / low seven figures as a senior in high school.
People are different. Different choices are right for different people.
It sounds like if he makes this decision he and his family put a lot of thought into it.

I don't think staff has any concerns at this point, but Williams has been at auburn for their last two home games. He was just there for the Ole Miss game. I know he is a legacy and has ties to the barn so its natural the visits will be happening, but we said the same about Perry Thompson too.
Something to keep an eye on esp. with barn opening the checkbooks to get the top Alabama players (skill positions in particular).

I believe he wants to play for a winning program and realizes Sayin is going to be the future QB and therefore a great opportunity to show case his skills on the national stage. Furthermore, he wouldn't commit this early if didn't consider all those things I mentioned. But with auburn in his ear telling him that he could be the catalyst they need to be relevant again along with the legacy aspect has me worried. Obviously, the NIL angle plays a major part as well. We should be concerned if the visits become more frequent and communication slows down or completely stops between Bama and him.
