<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There has been significant movement in player transfers that will greatly impact the upcoming high school season. Regardless of your feelings about it, player movement is a substantial part of the game at all levels. What began in professional sports has now made its way to college, travel teams, and is increasingly prevalent in high school as well. As players seek to position themselves for success, some schools may see their outlook for the 2025-26 season vastly improved, while others may enter rebuilding mode.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, which is the first part of "The High School Transfer Portal" series, we will focus solely on player movement. The second part will examine schools affected by these transfers and their prospects, while the third part will discuss the mindset behind the decision to transfer or remain with one's current team. Big-time ranked players like [player_tooltip player_id='1658584' first='Toni' last='Bryant'], [player_tooltip player_id='2194979' first='Ethan' last='Knox'], [player_tooltip player_id='2610249' first='Oneal' last='Delancy'], and Jojo Philon have moved. But let's take a closer look at some other under-the-radar talent game-changer players on the move in the Florida Gulf Coast area that could have a significant impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"Gregory Samuels ","_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":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77244","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Boca Ciega","_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-68c9927bf2e96"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Samuels is a high-IQ all-around guard. He can score at all levels and has a strong, sturdy frame. Plays under control, can facilitate and score, and is one of the most unselfish, talented players in the area. Samuels makes his way to Boca Ciega with three years of varsity experience already under his belt. He transferred from East Lake High School, where he played a supporting role on a team loaded with talent. As he enters his final high school season, he should find more opportunities on a team that pairs him back up with former teammate and 2027 stud [player_tooltip player_id='2830310' first='Anthony' last='Brown'], along with an athletic roster that could make some noise. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2396992"],"_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-68d0771ee13f7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Flores is a two-way spark plug who is always looking to make a play. He has active hands on the defensive end and is a crafty finisher around the rim. Flores makes the move from SLAM Tampa to perennial powerhouse Tampa Catholic. While the Tampa Catholic roster is filled with talent and is ready to make a deep run, built around elite prospect Willie Pigot, Flores will be a support player who makes big plays and impacts winning along the journey.</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":"Tysen Jefferson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"North Tampa Christian","_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-68d0771ee14c4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jefferson is a new-age scoring point guard who possesses the patience, vision, and court awareness of an old-school throwback player. He consistently gets two feet in the paint, keeping defensive players at his mercy as he picks apart defenses with his eyes, ball fakes, and an impressive mid-range arsenal that includes fades, leaners, turnarounds, step-throughs, and floater finishes. Jefferson joins the exodus from Wharton High School, which has dominated the public school basketball scene for years. He arrives at North Tampa Christian, a school that has also seen a significant player exodus but has retooled effectively with new talent like Jefferson and [player_tooltip player_id='2194979' first='Ethan' last='Knox']. Expect Jefferson to have an outstanding year statistically as he moves down to the 1A level. He should have a clear path to make a run at the regionals, where they are likely to have a showdown with ZCA.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194974"],"_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-68d0771ee1529"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walsh has become a well-known name in recent years. He is an excellent passer, outstanding in transition, and the highest compliment you can give him is that he is a winner. After spending his high school career as the face of Fivay High School since his arrival as a freshman, he is now transferring to Northside Christian. There, he will join forces with Eli Ahlers as they aim for a deep playoff run this season.</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":"Nathan Frierson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Sunlake ","_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-68d0771ee15d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frierson is a young, athletic Forward. He is a workhorse with a high motor. He has the potential to be a stat stuffer and double-double machine. He can put a lot of pressure on both backboards and create advantages with his size and speed. He leaves Land O Lakes High School to attend Sunlake High School, where he will pair his talents with [player_tooltip player_id='2397097' first='Jeremiah' last='Brown'], as they look to continue building the program and make another run at getting back to regionals in a stacked 6A division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1660058"],"_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-68d0771ee161d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Daniels is an exciting player to watch. He gives his all on every possession, showcasing his strength and athleticism while making impactful plays on both sides of the ball. He plays with a lot of grit and imposes his will on the game. Over the last few seasons, Daniels has been a key contributor to a talented Blake High School team that had several opportunities to compete for a state title. Now, as he transfers to King High School for his senior year, he will team up with another transfer, Javon Russell, to strengthen King's roster and help revitalize the program. With Daniels set to become one of the primary players, we expect to see a significant increase in his stats as he takes full advantage of this new opportunity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

There has been significant movement in player transfers that will greatly impact the upcoming high school season. Regardless of your feelings about it, player movement is a substantial part of the game at all levels. What began in professional sports has now made its way to college, travel teams, and is increasingly prevalent in high school as well. As players seek to position themselves for success, some schools may see their outlook for the 2025-26 season vastly improved, while others may enter rebuilding mode.
