Allen Wallace on Clemson's recruiting


May 16, 2008, 7:12 AM

http://www.charleston.net/blogs/tiger_tracks/2008/may/15/allen_wallace/


On whether he was surprised Loston, who lives in Texas and has been offered by almost everyone, chose Clemson:

"I'm not really surprised, because I?ve been to Clemson before. It was a trip I took (in 1988) for the Puntrooskie game against Florida State that taught me about Clemson. First and foremost, recruiting is about relationships. But it's also about kids finding that spot where they just fit in. When you go to Clemson, you realize this is the kind of place that?s going to appeal to a special type of kid. Somebody that does not want a large-city type of environment, somewhere where football is a giant deal. I always likened Clemson to that "Field of Dreams" movie where there's one road in and one road out...

"Clemson is in the catbird's seat for a kid who wants to go into an environment that's very singular and unique. You don?t find it in that many places. I?d never been to a campus that was quite like that. And it was impressive to me.

"It wouldn?t surprise me if anyone in the United States goes to a place like that. Because he gets there and he's like, 'Oh my God. This place is amazing to me.'

The last line: "This place is amazing to me." I get that same feeling every single time I set foot on campus.

I thought his Field of Dreams analogy was cool too.
Quite an endorsement from a bigtime recruiting guru.

I took my best friend to Clemson one summer because he


May 16, 2008, 9:06 AM

had never been there. I didn't think he'd be that impressed because we arrived in the evening and nobody was around on campus and classes were out.

As soon as we got out of the car he stated "Now THIS is what I always pictured a College Campus to be like!"

He said he didn't want to leave.

Suprisingly, he wasn't as impressed with Southern Wesleyan's (my school) campus.

"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car."

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it."


Yet another difference between Clemson and UCS...

Clemson = "Field of Dreams"

UCS = "The Longest Yard"

I can certainly relate....


May 16, 2008, 9:55 AM

There was no question in my mind where I wanted to spend my college years within minutes of setting foot on campus. It was February of my Jr. year in high school and I was sold. 14 hours from "home" notwithstanding--I knew I'd found my new home.

I still consider that to be where I'm "from" even though I moved away after grad school and have lived in 5 states in the 7 years since and grew up far, far away...
