Notable Player Transfers To Be Aware Of

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2357007' first='Kevin' last='Jackson Jr'] // PGCA --&gt; Cardozo (DC)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kevin fits right into a Cardozo team that needs a playmaker with the loss of the Young brothers in the backcourt. Jackson adds a unique scoring and playmaking combination at the point guard position. He will fit into the team's scheme with the way they assert full-court defensive pressure through the whole game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='1588109' first='Finley' last='Billy'] // St. John's (DC) --&gt; Bullis</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Finley has already made an impact as the newest big for Bullis. He compliments the big young backcourt well with his shooting off of the pick-and-pop. Big pickup for the Bulldogs as they look to compete for another championship in the IAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2640022' first='Colby' last='Murphy'] // Cesar Chavez (DC) --&gt; Bethel (VA)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cesar Chavez will be without Colby's services next season as he heads to Virginia for his final year. He was a huge factor in DC, and he will look to further hone his skill at BeThe1 Academy. They are well-coached and execute well with what they have, and Colby has seemed to fit in so far this summer. His defense and decision-making will likely be a factor in his minutes played.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2454553' first='Jaron' last='Rucker'] // Riverdale Baptist --&gt; Baltimore City </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>City College picked up a big-time addition in Ja'Ron Rucker. He has looked great so far this summer with his new squad. Ja'Ron and [player_tooltip player_id='2722710' first='Camari' last='Stewart']'s playstyles have looked smooth together, each of them getting their fair share of shots while also playing within the City offense. Very excited to see Rucker take off out in Baltimore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2327613' first='Averi' last='Knight'] // Maret (DC) --&gt; Jackson Reed (DC) </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Averi is a great fit for Jackson Reed in the backcourt with his ability to score the ball at every level. Averi can get up and down the floor with ease and score in a hurry. His talent on the offensive end draws a lot of defensive attention that opens up the floor. This goes hand-in-hand with the way the Tentley Tigers run their spread motion offense. I'm ready to see how this addition fairs for the team later down the line during the regular season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2353549' first='Jordan' last='Taylor'] // Bishop McNamara --&gt; St. John's (DC)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This St. John's addition comes in sync with [player_tooltip player_id='1588109' first='Finley' last='Billy']'s departure at the forward spot. Taylor brings a different type of game than Billy that will likely help the Cadets down the line in the postseason when the games get more physical. St. John's will have some grit to them in the paint with the way Jordan looks to dominate the rebounding and hustle battle. Great pickup for St. John's as they look to make another deep run in the postseason next year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2353558' first='Isaiah' last='Carpenter'] // St. Mary's Ryken --&gt; Clinton Grace</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Isaiah has been a nice compliment to the Eagles roster since joining from Ryken. He rebounds and moves well for them, makes the right decision with the ball and plays within the offense effectively. The team looks better with Isaiah on the floor and he already looks comfortable in his new uniform. Clinton Grace only becomes stronger with this pick-up and they are hungry for another shot at the MPSC and MDPSSBT titles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='2353544' first='Corey' last='Dixon'] // Good Counsel --&gt; Bishop O'Connell (VA) </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Before transferring out to VA, Corey was one of Maryland's top combo guards in the 2027 class. He now joins [player_tooltip player_id='2252287' first='Darius' last='Bivins'] in the backcourt at O'Connell which will be a scary sight for the WCAC in 2025-26. He will be a lethal scoring threat next to Bivins' outstanding ability to make shots easier for his teammates on the floor. This could be the biggest move of the summer in the DMV so far.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
