If I remember right, Michael's home life certainly seemed to check out good enough, though. The one thing I really like that Pope's doing (like Kalani) is creating a locker room environment that is diverse enough kids like Floyd & Anson aren't as likely to feel as marginalized as they have in the past.

Tav I'm pretty sure was LDS on arrival, right? He first emigrated to Utah Co with his convert single-mom in HS if I recall right. Before finishing up at Gorman because the Utah high school "laws" at the time wouldn't allow him to play for some reason. We were still pretty fortunate we got him, cuz he got a lot of attention at Gorman.
