Reeks more of Hill signing with an agent to have an undeniably legitimate reason to go pro, without the consent and approval of his family. He wanted to go pro all the time, his family was holding him back - this way he gets what he wants without defying his family's wishes.
Tiger Bait just posted a story about it. I don't subscribe, but it seems they are leaning toward Hill leaving in a very "unclassy" way. He's definitely gone.
