player unless they've put their name in the transfer portal.

That said, everybody's NIL people are doing it, including Utah's. Players talk to each other, fans/NIL guys (what we used to call boosters), etc talk to players, and word is reaching guys that team X is interested if player Y is interested.

It's not supposed to be happening, but it's happening. Utah getting all self righteous about it is ridiculous as they are obviously doing it, too.
