Trivia

* Twin brother Jason Collins plays in the NBA for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

*Shooting 72 percent from the floor, Jarron averaged 20.2 points and 14.1 rebounds during his senior year in high school, breaking the 31-year state rebounding record with over 1,500. This record was later broken by fellow Harvard-Westlake School and University of North Carolina forward Alex Stepheson in 2006.

*Jarron and Jason Collins (along with Earl Watson) were the guests at the ill-fated recruiting dinner [http://www.press-enterprise.com/newsarchive/2001/03/01/983425572.html] that led to the firing of Jim Harrick at UCLA.

*Jarron was initiated as a member of Kappa Alpha Order fraternity while at Stanford, the same fraternity into which his brother Jason was initiated.
