Southfield-Lathrup boys basketball star Freddy John is bound for a border crossing in his near future. The destination - Ohio.

John, a 6-6 swingman and three-year starter for the Chargers, will be heading across the state border for his college hoops, committing to the University of Toledo this week following a visit to the Rockets campus.

One of the most under-the-radar cage studs in the area, John is an excellent shooter, a dogged slasher and a tenacious rebounder. His internal motor is his best hardwood intangible – the kid is relentless out there.

Waiting for him on campus when he arrives full-time this summer is former Lathrup teammate, Jonathon (Jon-Jon) Williams, Toledo's starting sophomore point guard.
