High school career

Hall tried out for the national team during his junior season but did not make the team.[2] Hall played a postgraduate season at Moravian Prep in Hudson, North Carolina, averaging 24 points and 4.4 rebounds per game and leading his team to a 34–3 record.[3] At Moravian, he put on 15 pounds of muscle and emerged as a top player in his high school class.[2] Hall was named the North Carolina Player of the Year by scouting service Phenom Hoops.[4]

Recruiting

On November 18, 2019, Hall committed to play college basketball for NC State over offers from Louisville and DePaul, among others.[5] By the end of his high school career, he was considered a five-star recruit by Rivals and a four-star recruit by 247Sports and ESPN.[6] On April 6, 2020, Hall declared for the 2020 NBA draft while maintaining his college eligibility.[7] On April 30, he announced that he would remain in the draft and sign an agent, forgoing college basketball.[8]
