I don't know if I'd go that far. Hines wrote an article on it. It seems that him going to school in the Bay area is new news.
It was originally reported that he may stay in Iowa for school.
I feel like any time a recruit relocates a couple thousand miles away, it opens the door slightly that they may not return.
He may have just written an article on it, but I distinctly remember discussing this on this site soon after he committed. Not sure if it was in a thread or if CW wrote about it, but it's not new. No worries to be had (and I'm too lazy to look it up).
