Dispelling the Carl Hall rumors

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Anyone searched Bleckley County, Basketball, and Carl Hall? Especially looking at all state listings there is a Sr listed, and it is NOT 2009 season.

[Wu du Nord]

Apparently so. I know Scandinavia is a long way off, but did you miss that Carl Hall played men's basketball for WSU last year?

No, didn't miss last season.

But the name 'Carl Hall' will always ring my Shocker Baseball bell.

Pulled this from the article below written on March 23, 2007:

First team: Jamarquis Steverson (Manchester, 6-0, Sr.), Alex Elam (Lovett, 5-9, Jr.), Ladarius Hall (Thomasville, 6-3, Sr.), Carl Hall (Bleckley County, 6-6, Sr.), Dexter Ellington (Randolph-Clay, 5-9, Jr.)

Edit: I'm assuming this is the same Carl Hall.

The plot thickens ....

Say it isn't so.

Let's just all pretend it still isn't true.

Doesn't White count as a post player? He is a PF.

I don't see how he doesn't get the extra year, but this is the NCAA we're talking about

this is the NCAA we are talking about that made a WSU player sit out of no fault of his own

Receiving a sixth year of eligibility due to injuries is considered rare

If it is rare for colleges, it is "no chance" for WSU.

Probably should change the title of the thread to "Confirming the Carl Hall Rumors".

[SubGod22]

Does this mean we can go back to bringing up the Carl Hall eligibility rumor in other threads when talking about a potential new signing or next years lineup? Since it's no longer an unfounded internet rumor probably started by some bitter VCU fans...

I agree with the NCAA statement. However, not knowing the particulars and how they compare or how an exception is requested, I'd think using Singh and Egolf from Bradley as a comparison within the same league is hopeful.
