I think a lot of it depends on if he’s able to get through the NCAA clearinghouse.
Based on the fact that he’s using a translator for interviews, his English may not be super strong and he will have to get it to a passable level by the time he has to enroll at UNH.
If he can’t do that, I’d guess CHL is likely.
I don’t think that’s a factor.
there are support systems in college for foreign non English speakers.
him using a translator at a presser doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand English.
usually reading and writing is far easier to learn than conversational language. At a press conference they might use words thst he doesn’t usually use.
my ex gf was from South America, she came here as a late teenager. She knew most of common use English. She still had problems with more complex/ adult words. Her younger sister came at the same time and didn’t have any accent and she also had trouble with complicated talking that she’d operate in Spanish to understand better.
