[ADDITIONAL VIDEO - Also worth viewing - he is as big as advertised - look at his size compared to some other guards:

Just want to add this story about Thaddeus Hall's situation. It's another reason why one's story isn't always clear cut. Thaddeus, especially if he goes away to school, may thrive in a different environment.

I hope T Hall's college career works out for him. I'm pulling hard for him to succeed. I think he could be a real oncoming 2012 gem for any squad if he qualifies. Check out this quote (in addition to the quote I posted the other day about his playing D): "He’s put in stalwart defensive efforts, shutting down stars such as Boys & Girls’ Leroy (Truck) Fludd and Lincoln’s Isaiah Whitehead, and averaged 10 rebounds per game this postseason."

Known to NYC Met Talent evaluator Tom Konchalski said he’s the “most explosive scorer” in the PSAL with “an incredible motor, he never stops coming at you. He’s hardwood blessing in disguise.”

One cannot each the inner drive of a player. It will serve Thaddeus well the rest of his playing career. I just hope he can clear academically. At least then he'll get his shot to get it done in school and on the court.
