Thank you!
AK is so pressured and confused right now. I'm just praying he takes a step back. Don't answer his phone, tweet, inbox for anybody and truly consider his options.
He has one task from each school that I asked him to do before narrows out, and it has nothing to do with football directly. He'll get a lot of unanswered questions clarified, then he'll be cleared to make his announcement.
In my experience, prayer is always the best place to start when faced with a difficult problem or choice to make (James 1:5). I would also counsel him to ask for discernment as well so he can tell when folks just want to use him and are trying to blow smoke vs when they are shooting straight with him and have his best interests at heart. Young men his age usually are not good at discerning such things, not for lack of intelligence but for lack of life experience.
The good news is that Alvin has you to guide him through the steps needed to make a valid decision. A whole lot of kids do not have that advantage.
May you both be blessed.
