Thats the general rule: If you like the guy you should take him. Your assumption that he will be there later may not come to pass: you don't know if he will be there later or not. You can ASSUME but you really don't know. If you like him and the next option available is significantly worse, then it is smarter to take him now while you can and accept the criticism for taking him "too early" vs. risking losing him because you knew he would be there later.
