John received numerous awards and All-State recognition during his high school career and was heavily recruited by numerous Division I Schools. He chose to attend Ohio State University on a basketball scholarship. He was named the Buckeyes best defensive player his junior year, and as a senior he was named co-captain.

Following his four years at Ohio State, John traveled overseas to play basketball in a number of countries that included Italy, Israel, Hong Kong and Australia. He also played for a U.S. Team called High Five America based in San Diego, CA. This team would sponsor youth camps and play exhibition games against college teams.
