Jeremy Tyler - Young, Talented and Unhappy Playing Overseas

Kid can't handle the pressure.

This is why i don't think there will be a massive flood of kids going os instead of college. I think it takes a certain type of person to be able to drop into another country with all the associated issues and work as a pro at such a young age.

For certain kids it might work but i would think most would crash and burn from pressure and alienation alone.
