Is this unexpected, I thought the situation was that he had to go home to help out, so he would definitely not be in Lexington. He may be gone forever, but isn't it still possible for him to reenroll in the spring and be eligible next fall?
I hope it works out for him, maybe some other relatives or neighbors can help out, do they have some sort of help for those that need it in his country? It would be a shame for him not to get to come back. Unfortunately there is nothing UK fans can do legally I think, hope no one tries anything outside the lines..
