<p>More transfers? All I can think of is this <strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pviYWzu0dzk">clip</a>. The competitive nature of South Florida basketball is a wild one. We have another group of players to look at below.</p>
<p><strong>Issac Mothersill</strong> - <em>Chaminade-Madonna </em></p>
<p>2025 Issac Mothersill moves to <strong>Chaminade-Madonna</strong> after playing at <strong>Avante</strong> <strong>Garde Academy</strong>. The 5-foot-10 point guard averaged an impressive 14.3 points, 4.3 assists, 3.5 steals and 3.3 rebounds for the Sharks. Overall, he shot 57 percent on his two-point field goals. Those are impressive numbers for an eighth grader. Mothersill’s early experience should work to his advantage. I think he will be confident on the floor for Chaminade-Madonna. It’s a test and an opportunity for him to shine against better competition. </p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="829393" first="Jesus" last="Rivas"]</strong> - <em>Miami High</em></p>
<p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="829393" first="Jesus" last="Rivas"] should have an instant impact with the Stingarees. At Brito, the 6-foot-9 forward/center averaged 11.6 points, 12.6 rebounds and five blocks per game. Rivas averaged a double-double as a sophomore as well. His consistency is a huge plus to me. I love Rivas’ frame and ability to block shots at 220+ pounds in the paint. Therefore, he is durable and reliable over 32 minutes. On offense, he has nice power and finish. He might be a bit underrated in Miami-Dade County. You can go to battle with this kid and get a great effort night in and night out.</p>
<p><strong>Letrell Flenor</strong> - <em>Miami Killian</em></p>
<p>2024 Letrell Flenor is a lengthy prospect that previously spent time at <strong>South</strong> Miami. He averaged 11 points, nine rebounds and two blocks per game as a freshman. Flenor will only get better in the post as he puts on more weight. I think his offensive game has upside. However, I already like him as a defensive player with his ability to rebound and block shots. Flenor has bounce to swat balls away. He has a lot of promise with time.</p>
<p><strong>Jaylen Coats</strong> - <em>North Miami</em></p>
<p>2022 Jaylen Coats moves to the Pioneers from <strong>Miami Beach</strong>. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound Coats averaged 12 points and 9.1 rebounds per game while shooting 42 percent from the field. I think Coats has some versatility at shooting guard or small forward. While a good shooter, I think Coats has more to show, particularly from the outside. He sparingly made shots from deep with Miami Beach. I’d like to see him expand his shot making a bit. However, Coats is a great rebounder on either side. North Miami has a lot of depth at guard and forward. Adding Coats gives them another look in their lineup.</p>
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="546206" first="Anthony" last="Salazar"] </strong>- <em>Miami Palmetto</em></p>
<p>2022 [player_tooltip player_id="546206" first="Anthony" last="Salazar"] is a solid wing/forward now with Palmetto. The 6-foot-4 Salazar previously spent time at <strong>Archbishop Carroll</strong> and <strong>Champagnat</strong>. Salazar averaged 14 points and ten rebounds per game. He will provide a lot of problems with his length and size. Credit his athleticism as a shot blocker as well. Salazar can do a bit of everything on the floor. This is a Miami Palmetto team people need to watch out for. Remember, they bring in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="814912" first="Jimel" last="Lane"]</strong> and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1055700" first="Braylon" last="Burbridge"]</strong> as well. They can throw a lot at you over the course of 32 minutes.</p>
