Glenn has been having a very impressive season so far at Oak Hill Academy. He uses his tremendous amount of athletic ability to have a huge impact on both ends of the floor.
I watched him last weekend at Spalding HoopHall Classic where he was very active and strong on the boards in a win over Mt. St. Joseph, MD. He finished the game with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks. After the recent performances Glenn has seen his recruitment start to pick up, getting interest from Memphis and Syracuse the following week after HoopHall Classic.

I had a chance to talk with Brian after their 73 to 70 victory over Mt. St. Joseph’s (MD) on Sunday afternoon. I asked him a few questions about how life is going for him down at Oak Hill Academy. This was Brian’s 3rd game at Oak Hill Academy and he is still trying to learn the system and get a feel for the other players. More
Brandon Knight is an elite prospect from the class of 2010 who is ranked in the top 5 players in the class. He is a combo guard that stands 6’3 with a long frame.
Brandon is still trying to work his self back into playing shape after missing the first 2 months of the season due to a surgery. He started this game out a little slow but really picked it up in the 2nd quarter finishing the half with 18 points. He scored most of points off of his jumper along with a couple of takes to the basket.
He continued his scoring in the start of the 2nd half with more takes to the rim and his 3 point shot. He played most of the 3rd quarter before sitting out the 4th quarter since it was a blowout. He finished the night with 26 points and 10 rebounds. He looked like he was getting his legs back and showed why he is one of the elite guards in his class. He has a very smooth game with a high basketball I.Q. and plays tough defense. He has good form on his jumper and range out to the 3 point range.
Brandon is definitely a prospect to watch out for in the next couple of years.
