Is this true?
So by "foregoing" you mean "quit" right.?. Because foregoing is just a nice way of saying quit. I know he's an elite talent and all... but do we really want a guy who quit on his team???
How many 5* players just up and quit halfway through the season to focus on "recruiting"? To me, this just reeks of selfishness. That's a future locker room cancer waiting to happen.

Its kinda mind boggling but at the same time I kinda get it as well. Now that there is $ to be made at the next level it seems like it can make some sense. I wonder if this means he has already been contacted by potential investors for his NIL? I wonder if it means he has pretty much made up his mind where he is going because of that too. If so, probably means he aint coming here.

In sports, he only has one thought. If he didn't repeat it, what would he say?

So he’s quitting on his teammates mid season? Sounds like a match for quitter Dan.

There's nothing in HS that says a kid can't have a job or sell NIL or anything else.
That was only NCAA bullshyt.

But aint no deal unless he goes to a certain place? Pure speculation on my part and quite the far reaching BS what if scenario.

Not ideal, but this was always an inevitability once NIL was introduced. Kind of already touched on by others but yes, the concept of getting paid in college just moved up that time frame. It was always a necessary evil for a lot of top athletes whose entire goal was to make it to the league. I don’t like it, but I also recognize that college athletics has an entirely different meaning to me than to a lot of these kids from tougher backgrounds. When there that much money involved, and just a year of staying healthy away, you can’t really blame them for shutting it down. He’s basically just foregoing his Sr year(college) and/or sitting out the bowl game. As @alcoholica said, there will be a lot of these unintended consequences that emerge over the next few years. We just have to hope we get more positives than negatives.

you realize this had nothing to do with NIL, nor does NIL even if it were true, affect his ability to play HS, right?
Also, you know Diwun skipped his 12th grade year, right?
