Transfer Watch 2024: Part XXI

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elite prospects from southeastern Pennsylvania (and beyond) continued the annual ritual of transferring high schools right up until the first day of the new academic year. Many of them reclassed into a later graduate class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We expect that a few more pieces of transfer news will trickle in here during September. 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 twenty-first installment in our Transfer Watch 2024 series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2427190' first='Buddy' last='Denard'] </strong><strong>– 6'1″ / 2027 / Plymouth Whitemarsh / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] HGSL / Combo Guard:</strong> Our No. 12 ranked prospect in the Class of 2027 made a last-minute move from Archbishop Wood to Plymouth Whitemarsh. This spring / summer Denard was a standout performer at several HGSL circuit events. Denard does a tremendous job of balancing his ability to score off the bounce with his highly accurate three-point shooting. He is an underrated passer too. Denard will now team with [player_tooltip player_id='1576723' first='Mani' last='Sajid'] to form one of the most lethal backcourts in the region. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ty'Sicere Jackson </strong><strong>– 6'5″ / 2025 / Bonner and Prendergast / FAM Academy / Small Forward</strong>: In 2023-24 this long, athletic, and bouncy prospect played for Upper Darby where he flashed stretch-4 skills. Jackson can hit spot up threes, operate in pick-n-roll and slash to cup for lay-ins. His enormous wingspan and quick second jump make Jackson a dominant rebounder at both ends. Defensively, Jackson is a shot blocking machine. Last season Jackson recorded a double-double of 15 points (2 3PM) and 17 boards against Ridley. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Paolo Massa </strong><strong>– 6'2″ / 2026 / Phelps School / West Coast Elite / Combo Guard:</strong> This transfer from California played his last season at Asheville School where he tortured opponents with his versatile skill set. Massa is an accurate 3-point shooter who owns a James Harden-esque step back move. His quick trigger and constant off-ball movement make him difficult to guard on the perimeter. Massa also possesses nifty handles that enable him to create off the dribble for himself and teammates. He is a plus defender too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874234' first='Nasir' last='Williams'] </strong><strong>– 6'0” / 2025 / Coatesville / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] Select / Combo Guard:</strong> This former Sankofa Freedom Academy standout remains one of the top uncommitted 2025s in the area. Back in June, Williams played extraordinary ball at Philly HS Live where his speed and change of direction dribbles consistently got him to the rim for lay-ins. His ability to use high pick action to create off the bounce scoring opportunities for himself is impressive. He also produced points in the open court and splashed threes. On the fast break, Williams excels at moving the ball up the floor via well timed passes. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
