30 Quotes by Allen Wallace

I would be the first to tell you that if 50 percent of the guys I put on the Super Prep All-American team make it, I would be happy. About one out of every two guys is going to be a disappointment in some way. But what is success, a guy who starts two years, an all-conference player? He might even be a starter and still be a disappointment.

I don't think people think about Zook anymore at Florida. He's just a memory there now.

He has a great reputation as a linebacker, but I think he looks better running the ball.

He was most definitely one of the guys who got the wheels going. The advantage he had was that no one else was doing it.

I think it's case of Penn State not focusing on the right kids. You don't see them often bringing in superior skill athletes from outside the state.

I think this is going to go down as a gut check for the Miami Hurricane program. They're at a low point recruiting-wise.

I think that's part of the charm of recruiting. You can never get enough great players. It's just another way to inflict injury on your rivals. That's why recruiting is so important to some people. You're winning two times. You're getting a player and you're taking him away from somebody else.

I think if you watch the aggressive way Urban Meyer coaches on the sidelines during a game, and watch his wife in the stands, you know they're not going to take no for answer from a recruit. I think his persona has a lot to do with his recruiting.

It doesn't even matter if a guy is highly ranked at the end. Even if a team gets a commitment from a two- or three-star guy, that's huge news (to fans).
