Hall is one of the hidden gems of Oklahoma. He’s developing into a big time athlete with the way he can finish at the rim in transition, with a savvy scoring game to match. The Roland Ranger is dominating eastern Oklahoma with his quickness and defensive anticipation, while also putting on a show with dunks.  But he’s much more than just an big time athlete feasting on small town competition, he has a tight handle and smooth mechanics when pulling up off the dribble.  If betting on upside, Hall is one of the more intriguing longterm bets in the class because he seems to ooze big time potential with every game watched and highlight clip viewed.

From early on in the game, Hall “popped” off the screen with the ease he attacked.  It was pretty clear he has so far been overlooked in the Class fo 2026. If it was just seeing how effortlessly he glided around the court it would’ve been enough to be high on his potential. But there were two sequences that stood out.

Hall closed the first quarter by picking the pocket of an opposing ballhandler from behind, leading to a loose ball that a teammate scooped up and fired out to him for an easy layup. Then with 7 seconds left, a teammate secured a defensive rebound, pitched it to Hall, who raced down the court and hit a spinning one legged mid-range jumper at the buzzer to tie it.

The Roland sophomore closed the third quarter with a similar composed scoring flurry. With 90 seconds left he got a defender on his heels and drained a pull up triple. Then the next trip down, he diced up the defense and had an strong “And 1” finish for an old fashion three point play. Hall closed out the quarter by drawing a foul with his tight handles, earning two free throw attempts.

Overall, he’s quick but also composed with the ball. Seemingly every time he wanted to get inside and pressure the defense, he got wherever he wanted. Hall ended up pouring in 27 points in the game, most of it off crafty and explosive finishing at the rim, and that was with his jumper not falling consistently despite good looks. He also lived at the charity stripe. Where he even hit two clutch go ahead free throws late and then tied it on the next trip, leading to the eventually overtime. There were a couple times he might have over dribbled and pounded the rock too much, but given his overall success and youth, a little leeway can be given.

More viewings are needed because the form on his jumper looked good and the ones he did hit were pure. So there could be nights he catches fire in the midrange or three.  Or his shooting simply improves as he’s only a sophomore, which leads to the question; Just how good can he be?

The initial impression is that so far he’s been a personal miss in the coverage of the Class of 2026. As he’s a no doubt current top 10 prospect, which for my personal definition means a no brainer future college player if his progression continues. He passes one of the most aspects of translating a small town prospect to prospects against big schools. His movements and handles would easily translate into being an impact player against teams from OKC and Tulsa. Now if he is, or becomes a knock down shooter, he’s likely in the conversation for top 5 in what looks to be a very talented Class of 2026.

Hall has become a priority scout going forward, and should have Roland back in the Class 3A State Tournament. And then with the right platform, could blow up at the 16U level.
