Transfer Watch 2024: Part XII

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elite prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) continue the annual ritual of transferring high schools. 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 summer. Many of them will reclass into a later graduate 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 twelfth installment in our Transfer Watch 2024 series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kellen Ingram </strong><strong>– 6'4” / 2025 / Rocktop Academy / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] 302 / Wing:</strong> After a solid senior campaign, this former Abington standout will take a post graduate year at Rocktop. On offense, Ingram plays downhill and gets into the paint with ease. He can drive to the rack going left or right. Once he is in the lane, Ingram can score through contact and does an impressive job of playing off two feet. Ingram's end-to-end speed and creative finishing skills make him a legitimate transition threat. At the other end of the court, Ingram is a fierce shot blocker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2500724' first='Caleb' last='Jackson'] </strong><strong>– 6'1″ / 2027 / Cristo Rey-Philadelphia / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Combo Guard:</strong> Jackson is a former starter at Cherry Hill East (NJ) where last season he averaged 9 ppg. and drained 35 three pointers. He scored a season high 23 points on the strength of 5 made threes against Pleasantville (NJ). In addition to splashing triples, Jackson can convert on tough lay-ups in traffic. He also possesses elusive handles and rarely commits a turnover. When he is looking to distribute to teammates, Jackson is an excellent live-dribble passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zaire Smaltz </strong><strong>– 6'6″ / 2025 / Perkiomen School / Explosion BA / Shooting Guard:</strong> Smaltz is a fast, athletic, and agile prospect with a versatile skill set. He owns a polished interior scoring game, excels in the open court, and can create off the dribble. In all these scenarios, Smaltz possesses the hops and aggressive streak to complete the play by flushing on an opponent's head. Smaltz will also knock home the occasional 3-ball. In 2023-24 he averaged 10 points per game. Smaltz posted a season best 20 points (1 three) against Pleasant Valley. On defense his size and length enable Smaltz to guard 2 through 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2492438' first='Adam' last='Walker'] </strong><strong>– 6'11″ / 2026 / Westtown School / Young &amp; Restless / Power Forward:</strong> This developing big man played with Westtown at the DMV Live II event and displayed a solid interior game. Walker is extremely effective in the dunker spot where he caught, and then finished drop passes as well as alley oops. He also thrived in pick and roll action. With his length, agility and athleticism, Walker dominated the glass at both ends. On defense, Walker was a solid rim protector. In addition to transferring to Westtown, Walker will reclassify into 2026 graduate year. During the 2023-24 season Walker played at Romeoville HS in Illinois where he posted several double doubles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
