I need to look at the Recolle timeline but based on what I'm seeing on my tl I thiiiiiink he's probably going to be at the end of his sophomore year becoming a junior in the fall? Since this has an American school year, I think that's what makes the most sense. He's a second year in canon, though, so he should be in the same year as Eijun... HMMM I'm not sure.

Also surprising backstory developments, Mao now has an au older brother who really likes baseball so the odds of him gravitating toward baseball over baskets are improving by leaps and bounds. He'd definitely be an outfielder if he's on the team but this is something else that I gotta think about more. It does mean they're that much more likely to have met earlier, though!
