DeKALB — The road to Division I basketball was unconventional to say the least for Dante Thorpe, men’s basketball junior forward.
Coming out of Friendship Collegiate Academy High School in Washington D.C., Thorpe admittedly said he did not see himself as a Division I prospect.
“I wasn’t that good of a player in high school,” Thorpe said. “I probably only averaged about eight or nine points per game, so I would say I wasn’t a Division I player yet. So I took some time off to get myself together and train and then ended up going to Triton.
