Elite prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) have continued the annual ritual of transferring high schools right up until the final day of summer. Many of the players on the move have reclassed into a later graduate year.   At Prephoops.com we continue to do our best to track all the player movements and pass that information on to our readers.   Below is the twentieth installment in our Transfer Watch 2024 series.   [player_tooltip player_id='2348975' first='Elijah' last='Guer'] – 6'4” / 2027 / Roman Catholic / PS Cardinals / Point Guard: Originally from Australia, last season Guer played for New Jersey powerhouse The Patrick School. He is wiry guard prospect with blinding speed, tight handles, and hops. In short, Guer is a walking highlight reel on the fast break. In the half court, Guer can score by using his quick first step and elusive handles to get to the rim for lay-ins. Guer holds offers from Hofstra and St. Bonaventure.   [player_tooltip player_id='2544096' first='Aydin' last='Scott'] – 6'6” / 2026 / Bonner & Prendergast / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] / Wing: This St. Mark's (DE) rising star was previously our 25th ranked prospect in Delaware's Class of 2026. For the upcoming season Scott will take his talents to the Philadelphia Catholic League and suit up for Bonner. On offense Scott can produce points via dives to the rim, backdoor cuts, and the offensive glass. He will also sprinkle in the occasional spot up 3-ball. Scott will surprise opponents with his ability to create off the dribble from the elbows too. On defense, Scott is a plus player who can guard 2 through 5 and provide intimidating rim protection.   AJ Stewart – 6'3” / 2027 / Westtown School / [program_tooltip program_id='2078682' first='K-Low' last='Elite'] 3SSB / Combo Guard: The addition of Stewart supplies ‘Town with another long, fast, and versatile athlete to run on the wing. Stewart excels in transition where he can finish with authority or with a creative lay-in using either hand. This fast and instinctive prospect can score via straight line drives to the cup as well. Stewart's ability to operate as a secondary ball handler is underrated. Defensively, Stewart has a habit of picking pockets and then turning those steals into easy buckets. In 2023-24 Stewart played at St. Mark's in Delaware.   Nasseem Wright – 6'6″ / 2025 / Rocktop Academy / NJ Scholars EYBL / Small Forward: Wright is a former Math, Civics & Sciences superstar who averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per contest during his senior season. This summer Wright dominated the competition on the grassroots circuit as well as at the Chosen League with his point-forward style of play. When he puts the ball on the deck, Wright will get to the rim and then flush on an opponent's head. He can also bully smaller defenders with the dribble to get to his spots. His speed, length and finishing skills allow Wright to thrive in the open court. On defense, Wright is a ferocious shot blocker. Wright is a solid post graduate addition for the Rocktop program.
