I talked to Ben and Mondi yesterday and Ben seems to like Mike Lamey a lot and Mike is OK with going with my word that Mike Lamey seems like a good kid.
Derek, my recommendation would be to reach out to Lamey and explain to him that the roommates would be love to have him join the house. I wouldn't recommend giving him any sort of a deadline right now, but my feeling is by us reaching out to him, it might sway him to accept our offer rather than continuing his search.
It's a pain in the ass for him to go from Franklin to all these places, so he might just take our offer.
If I have mispoken about anything or if you do not agree with my recommendation, please do not hesitate to speak up and say something,
Shiv
