Transition Buckets: Palmetto State Transfer Update for 6/15

Once one season concludes, many a high school basketball aficionado – and coach – begins pondering with curiosity what their team will resemble when the ensuing campaign commences in November.    Every team looks different every season for the most part because of graduating seniors – as well as players that transfer to new schools.    We at Prep Girls Hoops already unveiled an initial report on names that will be wearing different uniforms than they have worn previously. But there are even more transfers to mention and one can guess that will continue to be the case over the next several weeks and months.     After spending much of her high school career sporting Irmo black and gold, Livingston will conclude said career sporting the silver and green of 5A Dutch Fork. Livingston would compete in 17 games last season for the Yellow Jackets and averaged 16.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 3.7 steals per contest. She joins a Silver Foxes team that graduated a pair of seniors from last year's team and concluded its 2025-26 season with an 18-6 record, a 9-1 region mark and a berth in the 5A Division 1 Upper State semifinals. Livingston has received offers from Columbia College and UNC-Pembroke.      Prejean first played at the varsity level since she was an eighth grader and has spent the first two seasons of her high school career sporting the gold and purple of now 1A Whale Branch. She is transitioning to live representing the silver and purple of 5A Ridge View. In her freshman season with the Warriors, she would compete in all 24 of its contests while leading the team to a 17-7 record and an 8-2 mark in its region. Prejean averaged 15.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.8 steals and 2.7 assists per game. She joins a Blazers team entering year two of the coach Aaron Lucas era      Cooper established herself as a name during the high school season at now 1A North Central. She also did so during the AAU season with [program_tooltip program_id='783909' first='Palmetto' last='76ers/A'ja Wilson Elite']. Cooper will have a much higher statewide profile now that she is sporting the uniform of 3A Camden. She joins a Bulldogs team that concluded its 2025-26 season with a 23-4 record as well as a berth in the 4A Upper State semifinals. As Camden and coach Lewis Mungo move back to 3A, Cooper looks to add plenty of frontcourt depth in 2026-27 season to a team that should once again be one of the toughest statewide outs.      Powell joins the Eagles of 5A Chapin from out of state. Coach Terence Jones is entering his second season at the helm with the Eagles and recently hosted the Chapin Eagles Shootout – one of the larger high school team camps across the state. Powell put forth an impressive performance at the camp against one of the toughest teams to defeat in the SCISA ranks in 4A Ben Lippen. She and her Eagles also matched up against 2A Blacksburg at this past weekend's camp. Powell joins a Chapin team whose 2025-26 season included a 16-10 record, a 6-4 showing in its region and a berth in the 5A Division 2 Lower State semifinals.      In addition to notable transfers among the public school ranks, the SCISA realm also had to take notice of Vuyiv transferring her talents from Charleston Collegiate to Cathedral Academy. During the 2026 grassroots season, Vuyiv has proudly worn the uniform of Team Charleston. The rising senior would play in 18 of the Sundevils' 19 contests last season and averaged 16.1 points per game. Vuyiv was one of two from the class of 2027 on last season's Charleston Collegiate team. She joins a Generals team that appears poised to re-establish itself as a force to be reckoned with. Cathedral Academy improved its win total from seven two seasons ago to 15 last year.
