none of u knows whether they got "their" guy or not. none.
u can speculate, u can wish, u can hope, with no facts, other than what has been said by OBD, which any prudent person knows means next to nothing. of course he's their guy, regardless of whether or not he actually was.
just support the kid, give him time, put away the anger, mistrust, and let it be. fastest way to help him fail is push too hard and be negative. support him till he doesnt deserve it.
if youre a true fan, a good human being, thats what you need to do. or dont, ruin it for yourself, nobody cares.
