Yeah that is pretty late if he is a junior. I am in my senior year and have had problems with cards. I actually am going to have to stay an extra semester because of it. Its hard to find an outlet because it consumes you. It may start as being an outlet them become an obsession. Some things that you once enjoy dont seem to matter as much. I am an all-american in track at a d3 school, and I was slacking with workouts and even quit the team for a few months. I would have NEVER done any of that if it was not for poker. Once the poker issue is taken care of other things should return to normal. There is no outlet in his mind.
