Clayton Hopes List Will Expand

Brandon Clayton was hoping to have his recruitment wrapped up by now, but the wait must continue. The 6-foot-0, 168-pound point guard from Notre Dame Academy in Virginia did not get the offers he was hoping for this summer, so he will make a decision about his future during the late signing period. Clayton hopes his play on the court during his senior year will catch the eye of some more colleges.

“No, I have not taken any official visits as of yet,” Clayton said. “I didn’t get the big looks I was hoping for this summer, so I will wait until the late signing period before making a commitment. I am still hearing from schools like Duquesne, American, Bucknell, Holy Cross, Columbia and Dartmouth, but I just hope to improve my game and start hearing from some bigger schools.”

Clayton hasn’t spent a great deal of time thinking about the schools he would like to hear from, but there is one school in particular that has his full attention.

“I have a lot of friends that attend Hampton and I really like the MEAC conference, so that is one school that I would like to hear from,” Clayton said. “I’m just going to work on improving my game and hope to get better, which should attract some more schools.

“I’m a senior this year, so I’ve been working on my leadership skills as well,” he added. “I plan on being more vocal during games and doing things like that. I feel that I am a player that can get his teammates involved in the game, but I also like to get some shots off as well. It really doesn’t matter what role I take, just as long as we’re winning as a team.”
