Brandon Channer

6’3 combo guard, Brandon ”Kyle” Channer, is a very interesting prospect inside of the 2012 class. Channer has shown the ability to play the point guard position, but is currently still transitioning from the two guard spot. Brandon has a nice stroke from behind the arc, and shoots it consistently when he limits himself to catch and shoot threes. He is a big strong guard, and does a great job of using his size and strength to rebound well for his position. He possesses a “hammer and nails” handle, which he uses to get to the cup and has the athleticism to dunk on you.

Channer, who plays at Blake High School in Tampa, Florida, has really exploded on the AAU scene this summer, playing for SEBA Select and Coach Mike McManamey. His stellar play in July earned him interest from a number of schools, including: Boston College, Florida State, Stanford, American, Georgia State, Georgia Southern, VCU, N. Florida, Liberty, Highpoint, UTEP, Gardner Webb, and Stetson. Brandon also prides himself on his work ethic in the class room, as he carries over a 3.0 GPA.

According to Brandon, a number of schools attempted to make the trip down this fall to see him workout, but they were unable to use the school gym. Channer knows exactly what he is looking for in a college program. “I’m looking for a college program that develops their players, preparing them for the next level, also, where I can play the point guard position. I would like to play in a system that wants to push the ball up the floor, uses a number of pick and rolls, and a program that really prides themselves on defense.” – Brandon Channer.

After locking in a very solid sophomore campaign averaging 10 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal per game last year, Brandon really looks to take his game to the next level this season. One of his main goals is to help his team to improve from last year’s 25-5 record and make a deep run into the playoffs. Brandon realizes what it takes to play at the next level and displays a tenacious go get it work ethic.
