Allen Wallace Quotations

The thing you hope for is that he's working on the SAT or working hard on the GPA. He's got to qualify.

Michigan's the kind of program that recruits well regardless of its record. Because of the tradition, the great rivalries and because of the helmet, Michigan is a big deal.

If he (Schilling) goes to Washington that will be a giant positive for them in many different ways.

The great charm of recruiting as subject matter is that we don't know. We don't know what is going to happen.

It's all about coaching. The kids hear about a team's success, the parents hear about it. They start thinking this is where the leaders are and this is where the championship experiences are.

I thought it was a disappointing year in Arizona. Jermaine Williams was the only top-ranked player.

It's like going to the courthouse and picking out 50 marriage certificates and spreading them out and saying who is going to be married 40 years from now. There are so many factors that come into play. How is a player going to mature? Is he going to have a drug problem in a couple of years?

If you win the mythical recruiting title, it shows you're focused, you've got momentum and that you're a very appealing program. It's a burden that every single coach in the United States would like to wear, whether they admit it or not.
