How do you feel about guys like Jaxson Robinson or Ali Khalifa (or possibly Andrej Stojakovic). Or Kingsley Suamataia or Puka Nacua? Or Paul Maile and Caleb Etienne?
Did they also make bad decisions to leave where they were and come to BYU?
I can absolutely get behind someone saying the portal is generally a bad choice. Or someone saying it's good for players and fine. But it's hard for me to reconcile when people have wildly different opinions depending on if they benefit or not. Then I think it's driven less by underlying philosophy and more by self-interest
