You're considerably older than him and have spent a considerably larger portion of your life away from Illinois. That obviously doesn't guarantee that coming back is or was a draw for him, but it's not a one to one comparison.People are surprised Boswell may not want to “come home.” It’s not surprising to me at all. I moved from southern IL when I was about 10. When someone asks me where I’m from it’s not southern IL.
His family and friends are on the west coast. While I understand he has some family here and possibly some old friends. His main support system of mom and dad are on the west coast.
Id also be willing to bet he has stronger bonds with his friends he’s made in high school compared to grade school.
I get he’s from this area, but this probably isn’t what he considers “home” anymore.
