More on Alphonso, plus highlight videos HERE

Listed at 6'1 155,  he certainly will need to beef up some.

But given his bloodlines, we expect Alphonso to be a major player.  And when you are a Blades, you are 'Canes royalty, so this is a commit that has a good chance to stick.

Speaking of "stick"  we dedicate the video below to this commitment and Al Blades Sr.  RIP!

I dare you not to get fired up.

Welcome to the U Alphonso!!
