Jordan Hall Jordan Hall 5'11" | CG Lexington | 2029 State SC caps off my evaluations. He is in the process of returning from a lower-body injury, so he was limited in practice on Tuesday, but when he did play, it was clear to see how important he could be for this team. Hall is Lexington’s best outside shooter, which will be crucial in spacing the floor around all their size. As he continues to get older and more well-rounded, Jordan could become one of the better guards in the Columbia area.

Jordan is another sneaky good 2029 pick-up. He didn’t have a ton of production as a freshman at Batesburg-Leesville, but I’m always impressed when I watch him with Upward Columbia because of his perimeter shooting and overall effect on the game.

Rounding out the five highest new additions is a name to know in the Midlands, Jordan Hall Jordan Hall 5'11" | CG Lexington | 2029 State SC . I was familiar with Jordan and this Upward Columbia squad from the 14U division a year ago, but they have continued their success so far this year with an excellent spring season. Hall is a huge piece of that, not only with knockdown shooting, but with an all-around impact on winning.

Upward Stars Columbia is arguably the best independent 15U team in the Palmetto State right now, and Jordan is a huge reason why. He caught fire early in the second half of a win over PalmettoPride, knocking down three quick threes to grab a lead. Hall, a lefty, has a pure outside stroke and loves the right side of the floor, where he can catch-and-shoot or attack the middle of the floor. Jordan was also productive defensively, chipping in with 3 steals to go with 18 points.
