When an NCAA Investigator questions the Tuohy family’s motives in ‘adopting’ Michael after he accepts an invitation to attend Ole Miss, Michael impulsively returns to his old ghetto haunts. There he’s taunted by Alton, the head gang member, brilliantly played by IronE Singleton (this actor has the potential to be a major star!) Michael gets into a fight with Alton and gets the better of him and then disappears. Leigh Anne looks high and low for Michael and confronts Alton. Some posters say the scene is implausible since the gang member would have retaliated when Leigh Anne challenged him. I’m not so sure–when she claims that she’s friends with the DA, that in itself might have given Alton pause to take revenge. After all, he’s a drug dealer who doesn’t want any outsiders calling attention to his business. Finally Leigh Anne finds Michael after he calls her. There’s a reconciliation and Michael is cleared by the NCAA after they finally accept his explanation that his decision to go to Ole Miss was made on his own free will. Of course Michael goes on to graduate from high school and is drafted by the NFL.
