"He'll continue to take the test, and he'll take a strenuous courseload," said Carroll, whose program boasts 25 graduates currently playing Division I college basketball—11 of whom are in the Ivy League, including Crimson senior Andrew Van Nest and sophomores Laurent Rivard and Matt Brown.
Carroll said that five of those 11 were post-graduate players and that no post-graduate Hogger has ever failed to academically qualify.
"We've spent a lot of time visiting practices, talking to coaches, talking to academic people, talking to admissions people at different schools," Carroll said. "Northfield Mount Hermon does an incredible job of preparing kids for any college, and we've just happened to have gotten really good at preparing kids for the Ivies."
This fall, Amaker will welcome to campus current high school seniors Cummins, Siyani Chambers, Mike Hall, and Agunwa Okolie.
