True. That’s why it might be best to play for another coach
That values you enough to take you as a mid year transfer (not applying that to byu/holker)

That's why it doesn't make sense. We don't really know for sure why he's leaving

And he's not coming back from an injury.

That's between him and whoever he sold his NIL rights to.
