<p>August is only 10 days away, meaning the next academic school year is around the corner. The 2029 class is primed to take a big step up this season, especially with prospects transferring to new places. Here are the 2029 Non-Public transfers who could have big sophomore seasons.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2899992' first='Harlem' last='McNeal'], 6'2 [player_tooltip player_id='3665515' first='PG' last=''] Don Bosco Prep</strong></h2>   <p>McNeal is one of the top guard prospects in the class and should showcase why this winter. The 6'2 guard has a tight handle, which he uses to blow by his defender off the bounce and can finish in a variety of ways around the rim. McNeal can also score in the mid-range and sets his feet before he shoots. He pushes the pace well in transition and slides his feet on the defensive end. McNeal is a talented guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the season.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884535' first='Ryan' last='Gannon'], 5'11 [player_tooltip player_id='3665515' first='PG' last=''] CBA</strong></h2>   <p>Gannon is one of the top shooters in the class and should put it on display this winter for the Colts. The 5'11 guard has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Gannon is more than just a shooter as he can also get into the lane off the bounce and has a nice touch in the mid-range. He is an underrated passer and can also move off the ball. Gannon is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance this winter.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3243498' first='Nick' last='Tait'], 6'3 [player_tooltip player_id='3665515' first='PG' last=''] Paramus Catholic</strong></h2>   <p>Tait has the ability to play both on and off the ball, which is something he should put on display this winter. The 6'3 guard has a good first step, which he uses to get to the rim and can draw contact in the paint. Tait has a high release on his jumper and makes opponents pay for giving him space behind the arc. He has the length to defend multiple positions on the floor and is an underrated rebounder. Tait is a lanky guard prospect who should make plays at both ends of the floor throughout the course of the winter.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2884536' first='Evan' last='Wells'], 6'6 PF Red Bank Catholic</strong></h2>   <p>Wells is one of the more skilled forward prospects in the class and will look to showcase it this winter. The 6'6 forward has a smooth face-up game as he can get to the rim off the bounce and his range extends past the three-point line. Wells uses his strong frame to get position down low and has a soft touch around the rim. He rips down rebounds at both ends of the floor and holds his ground on the defensive end. Wells is a skilled forward prospect who should put his game on full display as the course of the season plays out.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3571134' first='Joshua' last='Stone'], 6'5 SF/CG St. Rose</strong></h2>   <p>Stone is one of the more intriguing prospects in the class with his ability to play multiple positions on the perimeter. The 6'5 wing explodes off the floor for dunks and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. Stone uses his size to see over his defender and rises up with confidence on his jumper. He is an underrated rebounder and uses his athleticism to make plays on the defensive end. Stone's ability to play in both the front court and the back court makes Stone a prospect to track throughout the course of the 2026-27 season.</p>
