Having lost his mom the way he did, he might have an uncommon perspective on what matters in life. He might value the presence of family, close friends, and personal attachments more than he values getting out into the world and being on his own at this point. Not to mention, if he's drafted by an NBA team he has no say in where he's moving to. Could be someplace far-flung like Memphis, San Antonio, Portland. He can't just say "I want to stay in the northeast within driving distance of my people."

Personally, I'm grateful he helped win a banner for my old high school and two for my college alma mater, and wouldn't hope for anything more from him, but ultimately it's up to him as to what he wants for his own life, and when he feels ready to move into the professional world, the working world. When you go to college, you start to become an adult, and you should have agency over your own life at that point - even if that means deciding you want to stay in school a little longer and enjoy yourself without the pressure of being a pro athlete.
