and I remember watching a game on TV where Hunter was playing and the commentator saying that Lapuaho had signed with BYU and that his dad had played for BYU, but I don't remember any hype surrounding his recruiting. I recall neither him having big time offers from other schools nor anybody carrying on about him being a below the radar stud. Then he comes home from his mission and in this spring ball Mendenhall announces that the kid has All Pro NFL potential.

My point is somewhere along the line it just might be that perhaps he grew into his body, or got stronger or somebody baked him a cake (made of horsemeat) or something and suddenly he became a stud.

Or perhaps Bronco is stroking us to give us hope if it gets ugly.
