Five Star Humbleness

6'9 senior Josh Hall has seen his stock rise dramatically over the past year. He's gone from being an undervalued and under recruited prospect to one of the more sought-after prospects. He now has offers from Alabama, DePaul, Georgia, Georgetown, Louisville, NC State, Pitt, and Texas. This past weekend, Josh Hall averaged 26 PPG in the two games at the Carmel Christian Tip Off Classic and this performance has now become the norm.

We're talking about a silky-smooth wing that has tremendous length, advanced skill set, and a soft shooting touch with uncanny range beyond the 3-point line. In addition, there may not be a better shooting 6'9 prospect in the entire country. Yes, he is that good. Hall has really improved his ball handling skills and has become quite effective off the dribble. In addition, he has the ability to create scoring opportunities for himself as well as his teammates.''While he is a prolific scorer, what makes Hall so special is his ability not to force or manufacture shots. To put it mildly, Hall does an excellent job of allowing the game come to him.

With all the accolades that has come Hall's way, one thing that has been so impressive. He has simply not allowed the fame and hype go to his head. We have known and covered Josh Hall since he was in middle school playing for the local travel ball program Durham Hurricanes. While he has seen his stock elevate as a 'must want' recruit and one of the most talk about players in the state, one thing has not changed. Josh Hall is the same young man off the court as he was one, two, three and even four years ago. More importantly, we have also been impressed with his quiet and polite demeanor, not to mention his humbleness displayed throughout the entire process. 

For some young players, success can easily go to one's head, but throughout the entire process, Josh Hall has remained the same person on and off the court when we first watched him over five years ago. Josh Hall is simply a quality young prospect that is as humble as they come, which is quite refreshing to see. Whatever school is fortunate enough to secure his commitment is not only getting a five star recruit, but a quality young man.
