Transfer Watch 2025: Episode XI

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 summer. Many of them will reclass into a later graduate year.   At Prephoops.com we will do our best to track all the player movements and pass that information on to our readers.   Below is the eleventh installment in our Transfer Watch 2025 series.   At this pace, the 2025 off season will establish some sort of prospect transfer record in Pennsylvania.    This smooth shooting wing prospect just announced that he is departing La Salle CHS, transferring to reigning Inter-Ac champion Penn Charter and reclassing into the 2028 graduate year. The Quakers have landed a talented and high IQ prospect who presents serious match-up issues for opponents because of his size and feathery jump shot. Erfle posted a solid spring circuit and increased his recruiting stock significantly.     This spring Hopkins has been one of the standout performers on the HGSL circuit. In April and May, Hopkins was a double double machine thanks to his off the dribble scoring and hard work on the glass at both ends of the court. With his speed, agility and finishing skills, Hopkins also excelled in the open court. This past winter Hopkins averaged 6.7 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as a starter at West Catholic. Earlier today Hopkins announced that he will be taking his talents to Abington Friends School for 2025-26.     Last season at Sanford High School in Delaware, Jones posted 5.6 points and 3 rebounds per game. He scored a season high 16 points (2 threes) and grabbed 7 rebounds in a win over Middletown. Jones was a 2nd Team All-Conference selection as well as Prep Hoops No. 6 ranked prospect in Delaware. In addition to lacing treys, Jones can hit jumpers in the mid-range as well as along the baseline. Jones is a fast and agile prospect with excellent finishing skills. Thus, he also excels in transition. Jones is an underrated distributor too. This is a nice pick up for Cardinal O'Hara as that program continues to build.       This transfer news hurts as during his only season here in Pennsylvania, Miller quickly established himself as one of top prospects in that state. In 2024-25 Miller averaged 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assist per contest for George School. He poured in several 30-pieces and was un-guardable for the bulk of the season. Miller's tremendous junior campaign garnered him 2nd Team All-State (PAISAA) as well as 1st Team All-Friends School League selections. Recently Miller added an offer from FGCU to his pile. This summer Miller will transfer to Western Reserve Academy (OH).     This former Odessa HS (DE) player spent the 2024-25 season at Neumann-Goretti where he averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds per game on a deep squad that captured the 5A state title. Van Norden is an interior force who can score in close via dives to the rim, post ups, pick-n-rolls and by crashing the offensive glass. This off-season Van Norden is transferring to Bishop McNamara in Maryland.     During his sophomore campaign at St. Mark's in Delaware, Warner posted 7 points per night and poured in a season high 22 points against Charter School of Wilmington. This athletic and solidly built perimeter prospect was the No. 11 ranked prospect in our latest Delaware state rankings. Warner owns a jump shot that is automatic from the baseline, in the mid-range and behind the arc. Plus, Warner possesses the speed and finishing skills to produce points in the open court. On defense Warner can guard 1 through 4. Next season Warner will take the court for PCL contender Bonner & Prendergast.
