PROVIDENCE — This is about a journey.
It’s one that began in a very different place, one so very far away from the world of college basketball and the dreams he now chases.
On the surface, it reads like a typical basketball journey for these times: high school in Harlem, followed by Frederick Douglass Academy in New York and Brewster Academy in New Hampshire.
But it always was more complicated than that for Providence College junior Alpha Diallo, for the path that took him from the Harlem of his childhood to the polished floor of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center was never a straight one.
