5 star linebacker who signed with UW coming out of high school. Decided he wasnt happy there and got out of his letter of intent before ever suiting up for the Huskies. Ended up at Alabama where he is now again having issues being happy apparently.

He wanted to be at UW but dad wanted him at Alabama ($$$). Had some rough family pressure with parents divorcing late in his HS years and mother and father having different ideas about what he should do/where he should go.
Tosh was his connection to Alabama, so with him leaving, and Alabama not really being his choice anyway, wouldn't be surprised if there is a transfer at some point.

Not necessarily the program directly, more likely a 3rd party/booster, but yes, the father received cash in return for Kaho ending up in Tuscaloosa.
That being said, when Tosh Lupoi was at UW, he was known to handle the cash payments directly, so I wouldn't put it past him for that still to have been his M.O. at Alabama.
There was a pretty interesting little web series "Foul Play: Paid in Mississippi" that dug into a specific case about how payments to HS recruits work.
