Continue ReadingElite prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) continue the annual ritual of announcing that they will be changing high schools for next year. With the NCAA transfer portal jamming up high school recruiting, we expect there will be a host of extremely talented players who switch schools this spring / summer. Many of them will reclass into a later graduation year.
At Prephoops.com we will do our best to track all the player movements and pass that information on to our readers.
Below is the sixth installment in our Transfer Watch 2023 series.
KJ Cochran KJ Cochran 6'3" | CG Perkiomen | 2025 State #111 Nation PA – 6’3” / Sophomore / Perkiomen School / K Low Elite / Point Guard: This past season Cochran (20 ppg.) was as 1st Team All Ches-Mont selection after he piloted West Chester East to the PIAA state tourney. For 2023-24 Cochran will take his talents to the Perkiomen School. Cochran uses his creative dribbles to get to the rim for lay-ins. He also excels at drive and kick plays. During his sophomore year, Cochran unleased a significantly improved jump shot. Cochran poured in a season high 31-points against Avon Grove. He holds offers from Saint Joe’s and Northern Illinois.
Kabrien Goss Kabrien Goss 5'7" | CG Roman Catholic | 2024 PA – 5’8” / Junior / Roman Catholic / Jersey Force / Combo Guard: One of the top ranked guards in New Jersey’s Class of 2024 is departing Trenton HS and headed to the Philadelphia Catholic League. Last season Goss posted 15.6 points per game and drained 60 triples. He is a 3-level scoring machine who recorded a season high 32 points (6 threes) vs. Allentown. On the defensive end, Goss has quick hands, excellent lateral movement and anticipates well, so he produces a truck load of steals.
Daniel McShane Daniel McShane 6'5" | SF Phelps School | 2024 State PA – 6’5″ / Senior / Phelps School / East Coast Power / Small Forward: McShane is a long and athleticprospect who plays a throwback style of small forward. He will score via quick post moves on the low blocks, the offensive glass and face ups. In his senior year McShane did flash 3-point range on his jumper. The former Camden Catholic (NJ) standoutwill head to Phelps for a post graduate year.
Izaiah Pasha Izaiah Pasha 6'4" | CG Cardinal O'Hara | 2023 State PA – 6’4” / Senior / St. Thomas Moore (CT) / Philly Pride UAA / Point Guard: During the 2022-23 season Pasha stuffed the stat book for Cardinal O’Hara with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game. At the end of the season, he was honored with 1st Team All-PCL as well as 1st Team 4A All-State selections. Next up for Pasha is a post graduate year at St. Thomas Moore (CT). No guard in SEPA gets downhill and out in transition faster than Pasha. Additionally, he can operate in pick and roll action, excels at drive and kick scenarios, and will splash threes.
Gus Salem Gus Salem 6'2" | CG Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA – 6’2” / Senior / Wilbraham & Monson Academy (MA) / Team Final Red / Combo Guard: In 2022-23 this California transplant started all 28 games for a Wood squad that advanced to the 6A state semifinals. Salem averaged 5.5 points and 3.5 assist per game while shooting 34% from deep. Salem has logo range on his jumper. Additionally, he will create for himself and teammates off the dribble. His athleticism is highly underrated. Next up for Salem is a post graduate year at Wilbraham & Monson Academy (MA).
