The portal nowadays has changed the way recruits look at teams.
Utah was the best place for Isaac with the local NIL money/Utah legacy image he could capitalize on.
Now that book has been written, transferring is an obvious consideration and he knew this was always a possibility.
I think the better question here is "does the Utah coaching staff regret throwing him under the bus so quickly now that Rose may be out for a long time and keeping Isaac is suddenly very necessary?"
I mean they could hope Sam Huard comes back by next year 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
