I don't know if this is what others were commenting on, but the axe I have to grind is the fact that no one spoke to Jonah before Orlando was signed. I think that is where Soonerpeace was ultimately commenting on poor communication. I don't think there is any more nuance to be had there - Jonah pretty clearly had no idea about those plans and how they affected him. By the time one of the coaches reached Jonah, the optics already looked bad from his perspective.
I think it would have been a big nothing burger if someone had reached out to Jonah first, or just at some point in that negotiation process before Orlando signed. All it would have taken would have been a call saying "Hey, we are putting an offer in to Orlando and we think he is going to take it. Here is the plan we have..." and by Jonah's own admission, he would have been fine with it.
