"He is joining us after attending the prestigious Hargrave Military Academy where he competed on the track and field team in addition to basketball. Dante was someone that caught our eye last summer and impressed us throughout the season. He continued to develop his game and has made himself into a dynamic impact player. Bulldog fans will gravitate towards his personality and appreciate his energy that he brings to the game and gym every day."
