FWIW, his father favors USC, and that carries a lot of weight with the poly kids. I'm interested to see where he ends up; if at SC it's probably to appease his parents, at BYU, I'd say he's following his own heart.

I can hear them over on TBS now. "How will his Dad feel when his kid doesn't go on a mission and end up like Havili."
