From Booker to Hooker: Former Booker T. Washington high school phenom Andre Allen had almost achieved his dreams of playing for his hometown favorite – Memphis. Allen missed last season as a freshman because he was academically ineligible. Now, his sophomore season is in doubt because he was arrested and charged for patronizing prostitution. Allen agreed to pay an undercover police officer pretending to be a prostitute $40 for oral sex. The faux prostitute led Allen to a hotel, where he was busted as part of a prostitution sting. According to Memphis officials, the team has suspended Allen indefinitely. [9/24/05]
