Hall played his sophomore season for the Memphis University School in Memphis (TN), Where he and guard Elliot Cole led the MUS Owls to a state title. In the title game they defeated St. George’s at David Lipscomb University in Nashville 65-54.
Hall chose to switch schools for his junior* campaign and now attends White Station High. J.P. Prince is an alum of White Station and was the Tenn. 2005 Gatorade and Mr. Basketball award winner. Prince originally attended Arizona before opting to return to his home state.
Hall has a solid all around game, but has been labled as a bit passive at times. Hall can score facing up or posting up. Hall has the luxury of having great court vision. Hall has very soft hands along with a decent handle on the ball, often driving to the hoop, drawing the double team and dishing the ball off for the easy two. This kid has the potential to be an all conference performer early in his college career. Hall did play U.S.A. basketball in 07′ and averaged 3.0 points per game for a loaded U.S.A. white team that finished 3-2. At one time early in 07′ it was rumored among Georgia Tech fans that they had a Verbal form Hall which never materialized.
Hall attended the 08' UK Elite Camp and in early July told govolsextra.com:
"I haven't narrowed anything down. I like Kentucky. I like what Bill Gillispie is trying to do," the 6-foot-7 Hall said Thursday."
"Tennessee and Memphis have offered. Kentucky is talking about offering."
So it is seemingly down to 3 schools for the top 100 prospect.
The article went on to talk about the commitment of former 09' UK target Reggie Buckner:
"My mama said I needed to go ahead and make my decision, and she had Ole Miss in mind," said Buckner, who had additional scholarship offers from Baylor, Bradley, Georgia State, Lamar, Middle Tennessee State and Southeast Missouri."
"She really didn't want me to go too far from home."
Ranked the No. 91 overall prospect in the class of 2009 by Rivals.com and the No. 19 small forward prospect nationally, Buckner averaged 16 points, 13.7 rebounds, 6.7 blocked shots, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a junior last season in leading Manassas to its first state title game appearance since 1985.
Buckner said Kennedy told him he had one scholarship still available for 2008, but planned to hold it for Buckner until 2009.
"Kennedy told me I was their No. 1 (recruit), and that they were willing to hold a scholarship from (2008) to next year," he said. "So it's 100 percent I'm going to Ole Miss."
