Transfer Watch 2024: Part XIX

<!-- 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 more extremely talented players will switch schools here in August. 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 nineteenth installment in our Transfer Watch 2024 series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cooper Brandon </strong><strong>– 6'6” / 2025 / Phelps School / Wing: </strong>Brandon is a 6'6” import from Australia with three level scoring skills and a high IQ. His jump shot possesses textbook mechanics and deep range, so he is a legitimate 3-point threat. Brandon possesses the speed, athleticism and finishing abilities to be an effective weapon in the open court too. When he is guarded by a smaller player, Brandon will not hesitate to play bully ball and then score over that defender. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2461963' first='Ramee' last='Davis Jr'] </strong><strong>– 6'6” / 2028 / Bonner-Prendergast / We R1 / Shooting Guard: </strong>This summer at Philly HS Live, Davis played with Salesianum out of Delaware and was impressive. He posted 11 points against the defending PIAA 6A state champion Central York. Davis has also been a standout at the Check Rock League for two years now. He is a long, fast, and physical guard who excels in transition. Plus, Davis can use straight line drives to get to the rim, where he can score through contact. Additionally, Davis can pop threes from all around the arc. Back in February, Davis was an all-star selection at the Pangos Junior All-American Camp. In short, Davis is a tremendous addition by the Bonner staff.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jordan Gabriel </strong><strong>– 6'8” / 2025 / Perkiomen School / Crown </strong>Basketball<strong> / Small Forward: </strong>Gabriel is an athletic and multi-skilled forward with a solid frame (225 pounds). He is a former standout at Stepinac in New York and was slotted as the 34^th ranked player in Prep Hoops-New York's 2024 class. Gabriel is a traditional forward who is unstoppable around the rim. He can finish in close via a soft touch with either hand or he can power up and dunk on an opponent's head. As a bonus, Gabriel owns an accurate jump shot with range out to 15-feet. He is committed to Marist, but first he will spend a post graduate year at Perkiomen School.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2420129' first='Cain' last='Van Norden'] </strong><strong>– 6'7" / 2027 / Neumann-Goretti / We R1 / Power Forward:</strong> Over the summer Van Norden mad a name for himself at events like Philly HS Live as well as at the HG Future All-American Camp. In August at FAA Camp, Van Norden was an all-star selection. His interior scoring skills are extremely polished for a 2027. With his solid footwork and positioning skills, Van Norden can post up and then finish over either shoulder. He can operate in pick-n-roll action too. His height, enormous wingspan and nose for the ball enable him to work the offensive glass for points too. In 2023-24 Van Norden played at Odessa HS in Delaware.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
