Interviewed By: Frank Giardina

It is time to talk real-life issues in coaching on Sports Spectrum Today.

Many college coaches are recruiting athletes at a younger age. Earlier this week, University of Tennessee head football coach, Lane Kiffin, received a verbal commitment from a 13-year-old football prospect. 

We talk about the problems of this trend with a longtime college basketball coach, C. J. Woollum. He is the head coach at Christopher Newport University in Virginia.   

Basketball has been recruiting younger-age athletes with very mixed results. Now it may start happening in football, a sport where it is much more difficult to make early evaluations.
