Jimmer Fredette has a fan in CBS’ Clark Kellogg.
“I’m certain there are a number of folks who tuned in [Saturday] because they had heard about his exploits and his brilliance as a player,” Kellogg said. “As much as we think cable TV is ubiquitous and DirecTV is in everybody’s house, it’s not. CBS is. There’s a number of eyeballs you get when you’re on CBS that you don’t get when you’re on The Mtn. network, Fox Sports or wherever else.”
