Much like the Southeastern Hoops Report, Brandon Clay is quickly making a name for himself in the field of women’s basketball. While spending the past five years teaching, training and evaluating the region’s top players, Brandon has developed a knack for accurately assessing a player’s strengths and weaknesses and ranking the player accordingly. His way of making a personal connection with players and their families, combined with a degree in Sports Management from Georgia Southern University, give him added insight into the scouting process. Brandon began training college caliber players in 2001, helping them identify how to improve their overall skill levels. Working with both young men and women as well as scouting service evaluators on the boys side provided Brandon with an expanded outlook on how to measure a prospect using current skill set levels and potential skill development.

Beginning in 2004, Brandon made a choice to "make the gym his home" with the creation of Peach State Basketball, INC (www.peachstatehoops.com). Peach State Basketball was created in order to provide grassroots exposure for high school athletes to NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA and NJCAA schools and their coaches. Brandon's Peach State ELITE travel teams, year-round Basketball Academy training program, consulting program, individual showcases, and team tournaments are designed to give players top-level exposure and/or instruction. Because of his ability to create an umbrella for a player’s development and his eye for assessing a player’s worth at the collegiate level, Brandon has become the Southeast’s leader in promoting girls' high school basketball.
