There are very few D-I players who have come from this prep school, but one of note is
Trevon Hughes who is currently finishing his senior year at Wisconsin...

Actually, this school is just starting up a new post-graduate basketball program. Lawrence Alexander will be joining in it's first year.
Here is an article about a top Wisconsin high school player who is also planning on attending St. John's Northwestern Military Academy-

I have relatives who live in Delafield, and St. John's is a beautiful and historic place.

Many of you may remember James Lovell's son from "Apollo 13" was a cadet there (shown in the movie).

That's great news!

I remember Rhode Island was after him last year but he may have had some qualifying issues, which is why he went the prep route.

Sounds like he must have done okay on and off the court if he's headed to NDSU as a Point Guard. He never played the point in high school and must have done well playing PG for St. John's Prep.

I hope Paris Gulley can also get accepted at a D-1 school.
