For those that questioned location being a factor

Lexington is in the same time zone as Toronto and a 9 hour drive (easily doable for his parents to take off Friday for every Saturday home game).

Eugene is a 3 hour time zone difference and 39 hour drive.

I've done that drive. Not that bad.

I'm glad that was a deciding factor, he's a Wildcat now baby
