Is he expected to stay for four years?

He looks like he has enough talent to leave for a lesser league in Europe or MLS.

I doubt he's with us more than one more year

He’s already being touted as a possible #1 pick in the next MLS Draft and the Generation Adidas contract that comes with it so I doubt we have him past next season. Heck, even next season is no guarantee because the U-20 World Cup is a feeding frenzy for European clubs trying to sign young players and a strong tournament there could result in his turning pro.

Then there's Sal Zizzo

I hope his self-realization/awareness would prevail. Soccer, like baseball, has a way of turning unbelievable talent to waste.

I do not know if staying in school or signing with a professional club would be better for him. My feeling is that, if he fizzles in college, he is not through. Whereas, if he does in professional leagues, he’d be like Adu. Argh!

All the best to him, though.
