The dust rising from high school basketball's annual offseason transfer spree is beginning to settle.
Relocations are likely to continue through the end of the month, but most of the major developments have already unfolded.
Eighteen of
247Sports.com's Class of 2014 Top 100 prospects will be on the move while 17
Class of 2015 Top 100 players will be at new schools this season.
Among the more notable developments:
* A coaching change hasn't slowed down the flow of talent to
Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.). Minnesota scorer
Rashad Vaughn, Houston-area wing
Kelly Oubre, Los Angeles shooter
Namon Wright, versatile forward
Craig Victor and blossoming big man
Horace Spencer are among the key additions for the Pilots. Findlay also tapped the international pipeline for Australian post Jonah Bolden and Canadian phenom Justin Jackson.
* Rob Fulford continues to show he is one of the best recruiters in basketball by luring four 2014 Top 100 recruits to
Huntington Prep (W.Va.). Providence commitment
Jalen Lindsey, a 6-6 wing from Nashville, Tenn., and prized point guard
Josh Perkins of Colorado highlight what will be another deep and talented Express roster.
*
La Lumiere (LaPorte, Ind.) brought in a 2015 contingent that could pay big dividends for Alan Huss and staff for the next two years. Indianapolis point guard
Jalen Coleman, Chicago wing
Joseph Toye, Houston sharpshooter
Joseph Anderson and 6-foot-9 New Mexico forward
Alex Olesinski are the headliners.
* The thought of
St. Benedict's Prep (Newark, N.J.) transfer
Isaiah Briscoe teaming with
Malachi Richardson at
Roselle Catholic (N.J.) was a short-lived one. At roughly the same time Briscoe was finalizing his move to the defending New Jersey Tournament of Champions winner, Richardson announced he was returning to
Trenton Catholic (N.J.), where he spent his freshman year.
* In a move that made waves in Arkansas, highly-touted 2016 guard
Malik Monk announced intentions to move from
East Poinsett County (Lepanto, Ark.) to
Bentonville.
