to see the answer ive seen him play four times now my only problem with him is his haircut hahahaha just kidding... my question was what makes him a d1 player moreso than other 6'8 forwards in the area... athleticsm alone he ahs aton of but so does everyone else in d1

I do not get some fans. This is a JC vs MC thread and you come on here defending Messer.

Shane Hall always gets the opposing team best shot and more times than not the game of their life, every night he plays. Shane will go down as one of the best to play not only in this region, but the entire state. Most fans on here would not know a D-1 prospect if they saw one.

The difference in Shane is his athletism plain and simple. Alot of good kids in this region have size or are fundemetanlly sound, but just do not have the quickness to play at the next level. To play at a D-1 school you have to have the unique atheltism few people have. Shane has it. The difference in Shane and the rest of these players is Shane will be playing D-1 ball on Saturday, they will not. The last time I looked Tennessee is a D-1 scholl and they have offered. So those of you who say he cannot play D-1 ball need to read the sports news, he is there.

By the way, Messer is a great player and I rooted for Belfry against Lousiville Central in the title game. I am a JC fan but appriciate greatness when I see it and acknowledge it.
