It is more common than one thinks. The onset separation anxiety induced depression isn't the sole domain of normal college students and military boot camp recruits. Athletes seem like kings of campus, but sometimes struggle more than most when they realize they are no longer the biggest fish in the sea, their HS personal game isn't as strong in college, and they are held accountable for making team meetings/practices, class times and courses reqs.

You're not wrong, happens all the time. But when people get "home sick," they transfer to a school actually in their hometown and live with their family typically. Yes, it happens a lot with college freshman. However, unless Gilbert plans on signing with Ga Tech, he's not going to escape that situation of being away from his family on a daily basis.

He’s a transfer kid. Transferred in high school, now looking like a college transfer. Just what this kid, probably this new age kids are gonna do.

There’s a big difference between being an hour or two away from home, and 8 hours away from home. You can be homesick and not have to literally live at home. Just being close by can make a huge difference in someone’s psyche.
