Transfer Watch 2023: Part IX

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elite 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 the steady stream of talented players switching schools to continue all summer. Many of them will reclass into a later graduation year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At Prephoops.com we will do our best to track all the player movements and pass that information on to our readers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is the nineth installment in our Transfer Watch 2023 series<strong>.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1281760' first='Isaac' last='Dye'] </strong><strong>– 6'3” / 2024 / AIA Prep (OH) / PA Coalition / Shooting Guard</strong>: During the 2022-23 season Dye averaged 14.6 points and 5 rebounds per game for State College Area. He drained a total of 84 threes and hit from behind the arc at a 47% clip. Obviously, Dye is an excellent 3-point shooter. He can also get out in transition and finish through contact. Plus, Dye can run as a secondary ball handler. After his junior season, Dye was a 1^st Team All Mid-Penn Conference selection. This is a major “get” for AIA Prep.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1379428' first='Josiah' last='Hutson'] </strong><strong>– 5'9” / 2026 / Cristo Rey / Hunting Park Warriors / Point Guard</strong>: This 2022-23 1st Team All-Ches-Mont League selection has transferred from Cheltenham to Cristo Rey and reclassed into the 2026 graduate year. Hutson (14 points and 3.5 assists per game) is a primary ball handler with a score first mentality. He possesses tremendous quickness and creative handles that enable Hutson to get to the cup at will. His jumper is automatic from multiple spots on the floor, but pull-up threes are his specialty (multiple games of 4+ 3PM).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1118630' first='Nelson' last='Lamizana'] </strong><strong>– 6'6″ / 2024 / West Chester Henderson / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Power Forward:</strong> After spending a season with PCL contender Bonner &amp; Prendergast,Lamizana is transferring back to West Chester Henderson (played at WC-H in 2021-22). Lamizana is an athletic interior prospect who posted 7.6 points to go along 6 rebounds per game and shot 54% from the field for Bonner. He runs the floor well and finishes fast breaks with authority. In the last year his half-court skills have taken a significant step forward. He now possesses a solid face-up game, can splash 15-to-17-foot jumpers, attack the rim on baseline drives and score via the offensive glass. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Erik Oliver-Bush </strong><strong>– 6'4” / Post Grad / Mercersburg Academy / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Shooting Guard:</strong> Last year Oliver-Bush was a key part of was Roman Catholic's PCL championship team, so Mercersburg is getting a prospect with big game experience. He was a starter for Roman who averaged 8.4 points and 5 rebounds per contest. Oliver-Bush thrives in transition where he can score or distribute. His respectable 3-point shooting (32%) provides floor spacing for teammates. At the other end, Oliver-Bush is a plus defender.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1848532' first='Zamir' last='Parker-Barnes'] </strong><strong>– 6'4″ / 2025 / Abington Friends / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] Select / Combo Guard:</strong> The former Frankford standout has transferred to Abington Friends where he will have an immediate impact for the Kangaroos. Parker-Barnes is a wiry, fast, and versatile guard who can get buckets at all three levels. His ability to navigate through traffic with the dribble for a creative finish or to drop a dime is extremely impressive. Parker-Barnes can splash threes as well. If a defender over plays him top-side, Parker-Barnes owns the instincts and quickness to cut back door for a catch and lay-in. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
