Thorpe staying in W. PA for his JR yr:
"His(Thorpe's) production on the circuit thus far has earned him offers from Pitt, Rutgers, Seton Hall, and Wisconsin.
"Some of the new interest I have been getting is from Kansas State, Baylor, Xavier, and Davidson. Baylor is really close to offering."
After considering a move to one of the basketball powerhouse schools in New Jersey, Thorpe and his family have decided to remain at Shaler for another year. After a strong sophomore season in the WPIAL for the Titans, Thorpe helped lead his team to a section title playing off of the ball.
"I had a long talk with some people. Like my dad, AAU Director, and some coaches. I realized that staying at Shaler wouldn't hurt my recruiting so we made the decision to stay at Shaler."
