...is the fact that his parents have visited BYU and Provo numerous times both with AJ and w/o him and that before he even started at Utah Prep his parents came on their own to check out BYU, the program and the community. They did this even before they had a BYU offer. I think I remember reading that they've made at least a half dozen visits between them and that tally was from a couple months ago. There is a very strong interest in BYU. I think this is a part of what factored into their choosing for him to do his last year at Utah Prep instead of the academy he was at previously.
This carries over to JJ in that I agree with you that they're very likely a package.
