He's listed on the 16U roster but always possible they could play him up. If so, the 17U games are: Fri. @ 6:15 vs Elevate Sat. @ 1:00 vs Fox Nation Sat. @ 8:30 pm vs AZ Select Sun. @ 10:30 am vs Philly Pride FWIW '26 Jayden Hodge is a kid we had reportedly looked at under the previous administration.

Demo Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Anyone looking to watch UA streams, Branham is playing 16’s on court 4 and he’s #3. Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Stats for 3 of Branham's 4 games have been posted. As I recall from last year, UAA stats weren't posted in a consistent and complete manner so game #4 stats may or may not get posted later.

Quick, dirty eval: Legit 6’4”. Thin age-appropriate frame but looks like he’ll add weight ok. Ok length. Good athleticism. Quick 1st step. Solid change of direction. Dunked 2 handed off 2 feet in warmups with no problem. Really nice skill level for such a young kid. Solid handle, a touch high, going both ways and handled ball pressure easily. Right handed but didn’t favor it. Stroke is textbook with college 3-pt range. Pure PG. Sees the whole floor and processes quickly. Kept the ball and other guys moving(side note: that’s a pretty well-coached travel team). Got cute trying to make a couple of tough passes but by and large took care of the ball. Strange for a young PG, but the kid has a decent understanding of how to play without the ball. Stayed in motion and timed up a couple of cuts beautifully. Was constantly directing and orchestrating. Defense was travel ball quality. Made a couple of nice plays in the passing lanes and a couple of nice help moments.but lost man awareness a few times and got a bit bored a couple of times. Kid was a fun watch. Looking forward to seeing him in high school games to see if he’s assertive enough to just take over. My guess would be he is.

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted April 14 Author Posted April 14 Bossi on Branham for this past weekend- There weren't many in the 16U Division who looked more impressive or skilled than Chase Branham of KC Run GMC. The 62nd ranked player in the class of 2027, Branham was a model of efficiency and skill throughout the weekend. A point guard who is pushing 6-foot-4, Branham is a lean initiator who plays under control and wields one of the most dangerous pull-up jumpers in the country. He can knock jumpers home deep too, but he made 12 to 17 footers look like layups all weekend long. Synergy tracked him at 1.294 points per possession and had him at a 73.5% true shooting percentage. Home state Missouri offered last summer while Indiana and Kansas State each stepped up with offers in late March. Demo, lillurk and mamasa 3 Quote
lillurk Posted April 14 Posted April 14 Ok so ranking, stats, Bossi, and Demo agree: clearly a high major PG and potentially an impact frosh. Quote

Eric was on the fence with Branham and I just gave him a little nudge. Ok, maybe that’s not quire how that went. lillurk, ebridges24 and Class of '66 Old Fart 1 2 Quote
