I got to know this young man. Absolutely solid. This one hurts.

Yeah this one sucks. I have to say I absolutely HATE this whole transfer portal thing the NCAA has going on though!! It’s too easy for players to just walk on these smaller schools that gave them a chance when nobody did/would. Also, not saying this is the case with Jake but also these players can leave now if things don’t go their way or if the going gets tough. America has built a generation full of kids who want instant gratification or a safe place if their feelings are hurt. The NCAA is by no means great but allowing kids to act as free agents is a terrible situation. Commitment means nothing today from either players/coaches and I find it sad.

I will say IF Jake transfers to BYU it’ll really chap me though because we’ll know the poaching/deceit is in with Hill or others associated with the Cougs calling when it’s illegal to do so. Overall, it sucks being a fan of a small school because I know that great coaches/players (with rare exception) really don’t have the love/loyalty they say they do or they wouldn’t bolt the moment a bigger school came calling.

He did. No surprise really, it's college sports today...with the way it's being run, like it or not :x

Not slamming Coach Hill though nor the players that are given an opportunity to play at a higher level.
