Getting Collinsworth could help future recruting..

Jeff Drummond of the Cats Pause reported tonight that Cris Collinsworth’s son Austin will visit UK this Saturday to see the Cats take on his father’s alma mater. The Collinsworth recruitment is very interesting to me for a couple of reasons, most importantly that he can be a player to have a good long-term impact for the program. With his father’s national television exposure on a weekly basis, having Austin play for the Big Blue would ensure coverage by the national media who love his father, and would help UK in the recruiting game. Players who see Cris on television will obviously know where his son goes to school as well, and that cannot hurt in the very fickle world of football recruiting. Collinsworth is a talent on the field as well, but like Jai Lucas (because of his basketball father), the help that Collinsworth can give a program goes farther than just on the field and that makes his recruitment doubly important.

I did not like Collinsworth when he would broadcast in the studio, but in the booth with Al Michaels, IMO, he is very good. He comments about very broad aspects of the game.
