Impact Transfers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The landscape of Alabama high school girls basketball is shifting this offseason as several standout players make moves to new programs. From proven scorers with state championships on their résumés to rising underclassmen already attracting college attention, these transfers have the potential to reshape the balance of power across multiple classifications. Here's a closer look at some names to watch and the impact they could make in 2025-26.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1249500"],"_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-68ac84406b7a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Thompson </strong>➝<strong> Ramsay</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sydney Coney, a left-handed forward from the Class of 2027, is a huge addition for Ramsay. Coming off a breakout sophomore season at Thompson, where she earned <strong>2nd Team All-County honors</strong>, Coney established herself as a nightly double-double threat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Her versatility makes her a unique matchup: strong enough to battle in the post, but quick-footed enough to pressure guards full-court. She attacks the basket with explosiveness and plays with a relentless motor — arguably her best trait. Over the summer, Coney picked up her <strong>first college offer</strong>, a sign of her rising stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook with Ramsay:</strong> Coney brings the kind of energy that can elevate a team's ceiling. Pairing her with 5A All-State standout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1059309' first='Camilyah' last='Rowe']</strong> gives Ramsay one of the most dangerous frontcourt tandems in the state as they aim to establish dominance in 5A. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["568877"],"_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-68ac84406b849"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Prattville Christian </strong>➝<strong> Auburn</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Few transfers arrive with a résumé as decorated as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='568877' first='Kayden' last='Carr']</strong>. The Class of 2027 guard has already scored <strong>1,000 career points</strong>, won <strong>state championships in both 3A and 4A</strong>, and is a <strong>two-time 4A All-State selection</strong>. She also holds <strong>two Division I offers</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carr is a polished <strong>three-level scorer</strong> with composure beyond her years. Her consistent perimeter shooting opens the floor, while her championship pedigree gives Auburn a proven winner ready to lead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Outlook with Auburn:</strong> Auburn finished 24-5 last season, going undefeated in region play before falling to powerhouse Hoover in the state tournament. Carr's ability to both score and facilitate could be the missing piece Auburn needs to finish the job and compete for a state title.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["777547"],"_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-68ac84406b8d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Thompson </strong>➝<strong> Ramsay</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fenderson enters Ramsay as one of the most talented <strong>true point guards</strong> in the Class of 2027. After earning <strong>All-Area honors as a freshman</strong>, her sophomore season was limited by injuries. At full strength, she's the classic “head of the snake” — a disruptive 94-foot defender, an attacking playmaker who thrives at creating for teammates, and a capable shooter both off the catch and the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook with Ramsay:</strong> With last year's starting PG moving on to college, Ramsay had a clear need at the position. Fenderson could be an immediate upgrade, giving Ramsay a more balanced offensive weapon while adding valuable depth at guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232136"],"_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-68ac7f9950c75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Spain Park </strong>➝<strong> Hoover</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Though just a freshman, Leonard already has two years of varsity experience and was Spain Park's <strong>leading scorer as an eighth grader</strong>. She plays with a physical edge, relentlessly attacking the rim, while also showing the versatility to play both guard spots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook with Hoover:</strong> Joining a perennial powerhouse like Hoover is never easy, but Leonard's toughness and scoring instincts will carve her a role. Her ability to play off the ball makes her an intriguing backcourt partner alongside lead guard <strong>Winston</strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["371480"],"_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-68ac7f9950cd3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Shades Valley </strong>➝<strong> Ramsay</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nelson comes to Ramsay after a standout season at Shades Valley, where she led the team in <strong>assists</strong> and <strong>three-pointers made</strong>, while finishing second in scoring. A true <strong>pass-first point guard</strong>, she combines an explosive first step with disruptive on-ball defense, making her a headache for opposing backcourts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook with Ramsay:</strong> Coach Wilson now has an interesting dilemma — both Nelson and Fenderson are natural floor generals. How he uses them together will be key, but the duo gives Ramsay a dynamic backcourt with multiple playmakers capable of running the show.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With talent on the move, programs like Ramsay, Auburn, and Hoover are positioning themselves for deep postseason runs. Each transfer brings a different dimension — from scoring and leadership to defense and playmaking — but together they highlight just how competitive Alabama girls basketball will be this season.
