According to Spence Checketts (so take it for what that's worth), Kessler is not happy with the direction of the Jazz.

This is what I’m talking about. CB needs to focus on what BYU can offer that players can’t get elsewhere.

That is all true. If someone offered my son $300k, I'm telling him to take it.
