Dick Harmon: Kyle Collinsworth's BYU career rebounding mark a feat for the ages

Kyle Collinsworth became the best rebounder in BYU history before February of his senior year?

Remarkable.

But you could see it coming if you looked hard enough.

Back on March 24, 2011 in New Orleans, some five years ago, Collinsworth played the final game of his freshman year. It was against Florida in the NCAA Tournament and the contest went into overtime. In the final game of Jimmer Fredette’s college career, the Cougars were trying to make a push without suspended starting center Brandon Davies.

In his final game before departing on a two-year mission to Russia for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Collinsworth had 15 rebounds on a big stage against the highest competition.
