Early Life:
Brandon was born in Rockford Ill, but spent most of his time in Chicago.
At the age of three years old he fell in love with basketball and has been
playing every since then. He has stated “I have three loves, my family, my
girl, and basketball.” He attended Eisenhower middle school from sixth to
eighth grade. He was a great player on the basketball team. Sixth grade year
Blankenship did not start on the team. But when certain starters on the team
became ineligible (classified) that gave Brandon a chance to shine. Blankenship
came back seventh and eighth grade to start ant point guard/shooting guard.
Brandon and the Eagles had to suffer losses both sixth and seventh grade year
to West Middle School. Although in eighth grade year West did not make it to
the championships, when the Eisenhower eagles did. They went on to face Qauvion
Kemble and the Resa Owls. Brandon and the eagles ended up coming out on top.
Blankenship lead the Eagles with 16 points and 9 assist. In a interview after
the game Blankenship stated “ I thought Resa played well but we came out on
top, we knew we had to play smart and play hard. It means so much that we’ve
won this our final year.

07-08:
During the summer of 07 Blankenship played for Aau team 2con.
Where he has said “I Have the best coach I have ever had he knows
how to interact with teenagers and when your on your game he lets
you be the coach.” Blankenship (team leader didn’t have the best
attitude and it showed on the court. Brandon realized that,
and when he did 2 con was playing better ball then they imagined.

in the summer of 08, back to his favorite coach…. Lamont.
