He opted to transfer earlier this spring, likely a byproduct of Duke\u2019s deep incoming recruiting class that includes point guard Frank Jackson, and the return of junior guard Grayson Allen to the team.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thornton, a native of Las Vegas, was picking between USC, Kansas, Washington and Miami.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"He really got along with (associate head coach) Tony Bland, Enfield and the whole staff,\" Thornton\u2019s father,&amp;nbsp;Derryck Thornton, Sr. told Scout. \"He liked all four staffs but it was really the trust level at USC with Bland and the staff and the comfort of being home.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thornton will sit out the 2016-17 season and have three years of eligibility left.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
