Impact Transfers in Wilmington, p1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Having completed the overview of the player movement across Bear, Newark, Middletown, Kent County, and Sussex County, it's time to take a look at the ongoings in the Wilmington area. This is part :</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Concord</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3719866' first='Brady' last='Daniels'] | 6'4 G/W 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Daniels spent three years in Jersey and is now back home in Delaware as a Raider. With his tall, wiry build, he can shoot from deep off the catch and off the dribble. Those physical tools also give him some potential on defense. His presence adds floor spacing and size to Concord's backcourt. As Daniels gets his footing, he might be able to access some latent potential, while making the Raiders serious contenders for the Blue Hen title, as well as contenders in the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2836619' first='Jahki' last='Green'] | 5'9 G 2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Since making the transition over from Glasgow, where he primarily shot the lights out from three and made daring places on defense, Green has displayed a more well-rounded game. He initiates offense for himself and others, while still knocking down jumpers. His continued maturation next to Concord's senior captain, Mike Wright, and with 2029 classmate [player_tooltip player_id='2813295' first='Ahmad' last='Sudler'] solidify the program as a threat this season and for years to come. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Delcastle</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2622969' first='Tyler' last='Pettiford'] | 5'11 G 2028 </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Back after a cup of coffee at Chester, Pettiford steps right back in the mix for the Cougars. His capacity to threaten defenses while on- and off-ball makes him versatile and interchangeable with Delcastle's returners at the guard spots. So he can play off 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2628287' first='Xylon' last='Aikens'] and fellow 2028 [player_tooltip player_id='2698317' first='Gavin' last='Jacobs'] as much as they can play off of him. 2029 [player_tooltip player_id='2919966' first='Jabril' last='Moore'] is another incoming transfer at the guard spot. Whatever Pettiford's role is, if he can step in without missing a beat, the Cougars have as good a shot as anyone to take the Blue Hen trophy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Great Oaks </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In the wake of their first playoff win in program history, the Gladiators stocked back up with reinforcements from Christiana. [player_tooltip player_id='3669275' first='Kyseem' last='Hassan'] (6'7 F 2027) is a physical forward who can complement and alternate with [player_tooltip player_id='2621916' first='Adreem' last='Boardley'], instantly forming one of the top frontcourt duos in the state. Meanwhile, Ny'aair Williams (6'1 G 2028) and Daishaun Smith (6'0 G 2027) provide even more ball-handling and speed alongside 2027s [player_tooltip player_id='2684892' first='Amin' last='Miller'] and [player_tooltip player_id='3718193' first='Corey' last='Kenner'] and other young guards who are eager to show what they can do.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Howard</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2867568' first='Brycen' last='Hackett'] | 6'0 G 2029</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Transitioning from one VoTech to another, Hackett looks to build on his experience as a rotational guard at St. Georges. Now a Wildcat who has grown a little since the Spring, he brings energy on defense and floor spacing on offense, with an improving ability to play off the catch. The opportunity to learn from veteran guards like 2027 [player_tooltip player_id='2759059' first='Ghazi' last='Abdurrafi'] and develop along side 2030 point guard [player_tooltip player_id='3532309' first='Juju' last='May'] should bode well for the Eastside boys, collectively, and Hackett, individually.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Salesianum</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2885311' first='Benji' last='Thomas'] | 6'0 G 2028</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas moved back from Florida and rejoined Sallies this summer and it's been like he never left. The energy and urgency he plays with as a defender and lead guard – who is willing/able to play off-ball – is hard to teach. To say that he meshes well with 2029 [player_tooltip player_id='2767447' first='Brae' last='Sosa'], 2028 standout [player_tooltip player_id='2613325' first='Brady' last='Esser'], and 2027 sharpshooter [player_tooltip player_id='2449700' first='Connor' last='Meko'] would be an understatement. Furthermore, Thomas gives Salesianum a backcourt strong enough to get them to the Bob. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
