Chris Collins shows recruiting prowess at Northwestern

When Chris Collins was named as the new head coach at Northwestern in March of 2013, one of his first priorities was Victor Law, a four-star prospect from St. Rita (Ill.). At the time, Law was leaning elsewhere, but Collins knew he had to sit down with Law and make a final pitch.

He met with Law and Law's father, and the two sides immediately connected. The Wildcats were squarely back in the mix.

"Vic's biggest question the day he spoke to Chris was, 'Coach, do you believe in Chris Collins?'" said Gary DeCesare, Law's former coach at St. Rita. "I said, 'Absolutely. I believe he will get it done.'"
