Maybe he loves the school (crazy right, going to school he really likes?). Maybe his injury had something to do with his lack of PT this year? (couldn't be right?)
2) Indiana as a Midwest state school is pretty non descript. Surprised if that is a reason. Probably needed to make sure not a negative.
3) Injury makes sense, although sometimes injured players fall off the radar at a school like that one.
4) Surprised they didn't RS him after missing most of the season. Was it his choice or did they not want to buy into 5 years of scholarship?
5) In a highly competitive situation, coaches tend to go with the kids they have a long history with. That is why New England kids do better locally IMO. Many of the coaches had them in Club. I am familiar with Indiana soccer and there is quite a lot going on out there. Carmel, Indy 11, etc. Hope he has a good sponsor. I sincerely wish him well. I have seen him play and he deserves a great college career and a shot at the pros.

I could be wrong but don't you have to RS someone before the season starts? If he was injured just part way into the season maybe it was too late? again, I don't know how it works.

JR was injured during one of the last games this past summer playing for the Bolts PDL team. It was some sort of foot injury and these are not easy to deal with. Unfortunately he probably showed up at IU unable to play and he might now be at a point where he is ready to go. They could have redshirted him but he might be able to help them win a title this year too. His lack of minutes this year was entirely injury related and likely will not impact his future at this school.
