==Early years==
Allred was born in Pinesdale, MT, a fundamentalist Mormon Polygamist Commune. He is a grandson of Rulon C. Allred, a prophet of the Apostolic United Brethren, a fundamentalist polygamous sect. However, his family became disenchanted with the group. They moved to Salt Lake City when he was seven, and completely broke away from the church six years later.〔(Cavalier Lance Allred never plays. But what other rookie grew up in a cult and is writing a Jane Austen satire?, page 1 )〕 He did not play organized basketball until eighth grade, when he joined a team in the local LDS Church league.
Allred's skills developed quickly, and with his tremendous height (nearly seven feet), he was a star basketball player at East High School in Salt Lake City. During his senior year, he averaged 17.3 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.7 blocks per game, earning many prestigious honors for his performance. He was named 1999 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Utah, and earned First Team All-State selection in Class 4A by both ''The Salt Lake Tribune'' and the ''Deseret News''. Also, Allred was ranked as the "Best in the West" at the center position by Pac-West Hoops, and was hailed as a Top 100 Recruit by CNN/Sports Illustrated. He was heavily recruited by many schools, but ultimately decided to attend the University of Utah.
