I pretty much stand by my earlier comment of saying that RU is the best place for him. And yes, he will be happier at RU than at VCU - being from a small school in a small city doesn't exactly prepare you for "bright lights-big city". And, remember, he's only a 3-hour round trip from home at RU compared to a 6- or 7-hour round trip if he was going to VCU. He may not be physically or mentally ready to play with the "big boys" but he will get a chance to develop at RU. I'm certain he would have "jumped" at the chance to be at any of the schools you mentioned but, in the long run, RU will be better for him than those schools would have been.
