If you think moving across the world doesn't play a factor then you are crazy. Didn't Mudiay get a 1m deal from ua while playing overseas? Plus ended up a very high pick. Financially it makes a ton of sense, it's still hard for a kid to do. Hell, its hard for some of them to adjust to living away from home at a college.

what I heard is that Mitch's mom is going to live in the Bowling Green area this year, and when he enters the pros, she'll probably live near him there too

My point was there aren't a bunch of Euroleague and CBA teams beating down doors for 18-year-old American kids. It's just not usually an option like you think it is, even for someone like Robinson. The team that Mudiay played for didn't really get anything out of it. Most foreign teams simply don't care for the hassle. The kids (even Mudiay and Jennings) aren't ready to contribute for them and there's no major positive publicity they get out of it.
