It's simply a situation of two young people making a mistake of having a child, before graduation.

He's leaving in order to go back to NJ where his family will provide a built in support system.

He stated his decision to leave was harder to make than his initial decision to come to VT from his native NJ.

He's a mature decent kid who's taking care of his problem, not running away from it.

And he's certainly nothing like that idiot who had uber talent at DE, but got thrown off the team, in spite of his talent.

And I guess you'd have welcomed the departure of Stroman if he had left 2 years early.
