A Fresno State recruiting note

This one requires a get-back-to tickler in the recruiting file. From Zach Ewing in the March 10 Bakersfield Californian:

...10th-grader Wallace picks up Fresno State offer

Bakersfield High sophomore Tyrone Wallace has been offered a basketball scholarship from Fresno State, BHS coach Greg Burt confirmed.

Wallace also has drawn interest from numerous Pac-10 Conference schools, Burt said, including USC, which came to watch Drillers practices this year.

Wallace, a 6-foot-2 guard, averaged 20.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.8 steals a game for Bakersfield, which lost 73-68 to Clovis East in the section semifinals.

Scout's Greg Hicks had this to say about Wallace in December 2009:

Tyrone Wallace, 6-2 SG Bakersfield (Calif.) High. A big-time prospect, Wallace has very long legs and his body looks a bit disproportional. It would be quite a surprise if he doesn’t grow some more. A lefty with a point guard’s feel for the game, Wallace reminds me a bit of Jam,es Harden in that he plays on the wing but he has the instincts of a point guard. He loves to get in the lane and either finish himself or create for teammates. He has an outstanding approach to the game for a young kid. He never forces the action and rarely makes a bad decision. Typically with a young kid this talented, you will see him looking to score too much. But Wallace lets the game come to him. Assuming continued development, he will be one of the elite prospects in the class of 2012.
