Head Coach Mike Mincey on Hodge: "Allison is a proven scorer and rebounder at the high school level and someone we think can come in here and do the same at the college level. We'll use her primarily at the 'four' but we'll also give her an opportunity to get out on the perimeter and play the 'three.' Like the other two signees, Allison is a great student, knows the game and plays hard. Allison has won a ton of ballgames at Grainger and winning is all she knows.  Allison is just a good all-around athlete that excels in every sport she plays."
