<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Elite prospects from Pennsylvania continue the annual ritual of transferring high schools.

Crispin was a four-year varsity player at Pittman HS where he scored over 2,000 points in his career. In 2024-25 Crispin contributed 28 points per game and poured in a season high 43 points (4 3PM) against Clayton. This past season, Crispin also notched eleven 30-pieces. Crispin is a highly accurate 3-point shooter (82 3PM). He also owns crafty dribble moves that get hm to the rim in transition as well as in the half-court for scores. This high IQ backcourt prospect can play both guard spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2421334"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682654580119c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This former Hoboken HS standout averaged 11.5 points per game and scored a season high 21 points against Memorial. During his senior season Esposito posted six games where he recorded 17 or more points. Esposito is a hybrid guard-forward prospect with a smooth shooting stroke that is accurate from the elbows, mid-range, and baseline. He also is an agile prospect and owns good rim-to-rim speed as well as solid finishing skills. Thus, Esposito can produce points in the open court too. Esposito will now take his talents to Phelps School for a post graduate season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450782"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68265458011e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">and transferring to the Westtown School. This past season Phillips was a freshman starter for Wood who posted a stat line of 14.4 points and 4 rebounds per game. Phillips is a long and versatile backcourt prospect who can operate as point guard, shooting guard or slasher wing. His transition skills are remarkable. In the half-court the trifecta of his speed, length and three level scoring skills make him extremely difficult to defend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Tyson Smith ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Phelps School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682655af5ab24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In 2024-25 Smith was key piece for a William Penn (York) squad that made the state tournament for the first time since 2020. During his senior year Smith stuffed the stat book with 10 points and 7 rebounds per night. He scored a season high 16 points (3 3PM) against Bishop McDevitt. Smith's skill set has a nice balance to it as he can splash threes from all over the floor as well as put the ball on the deck to create for himself or teammates. He also excels at slashing to the basket off-ball for a catch and lay-ins. Plus, Smith is a fierce defensive rebounder who can grab a board, get downhill quickly and then pilot the fast break for scores or assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Elite prospects from Pennsylvania 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 spring / summer. Many of them will reclass into a later graduate year.
