    He played at a tournament in Los Fresnos when he was a jr and sr and he was supposed to play at UH. He was called Shaq 2. Any word on him?

    He plays for the Phoenix Suns. At this time, hes either their 12th man or on the IR.

    Hell, even Langhi is ahead of him in the rotation. :eek:

    He should have stayed another season or two at UH.

    I had him sign a program for my son. I hope he gets better soon.

    He will. The best thing that could happen for his development at this point is to get cut and play a season or two in the NBDL. He CLEARLY is missing the seasoning that a couple more college seasons would have given him.

    Another Houstonian, Jake Voskuhl, gets more time that Alton.

    I got a autographed Jordan sneaker from ALTON when he was playing in the MILBY Classics Game. It was a classic. I was a freshmen at Milby,when he was a senior. I knew that going straight to the pro's was going to hurt him.

    :mad: Thanks to our ****ty coach we had my first three years of high school. We could've had a starting lineup consisting of Voskuhl, Ryan Mendez (SG/SF from Stanford a couple of years ago), Sean Riley (7 footer, currently playing in Yugoslavia, played at Illinois State and North Texas), Rob Peters (QB at Texas Tech), and Adam Goethe, aka, Adam Hall (starting SG/SF from Virginia last year) if it wasn't for that jackass.

    Katy is Houston, maybe not when you were living there, but it sure as hell is now.

    Not really. There's still a stretch, albeit tiny, of countryside before you hit the Katy city limits. Outside of Katy Mills, most of the development that's taken place in the Katy area has taken place outside the city limits anyway. Katy Taylor and Katy Mayde Creek aren't Katy. Katy's Katy.
