Keyshawn Hall – 6’7 – Guard – UNLV

Keyshawn Hall remains a relatively unknown prospect by most outside of Nevada, but, at 6’7 and 250 pounds, he’s ideal for Louisville Head Coach Kenny Payne.

The freshman averaged just 5.5 PPG & 1.6 RPG in 11 minutes of game action, but he shot 48% from the field and 50% from the three-point line (on 1.1 attempts per game). His raw numbers may not be super exciting, but I promise his highlights are indeed impressive.

Hall has garnered interest from Maryland, Louisville, Baylor, Ohio State, Georgetown, DePaul, Providence, and more.

So, despite the low averages, many high major programs are interested in the big guard.

Hall was listed as a forward out of high school, but it seems like he’s focused on becoming a perimeter player, since entering college.

And based on a little internet sleuthing, it looks like Hall has made some connections with the program.

So far, no word is out on any Zoom calls or official visits that Hall has made, but the big guard is certainly an under the radar player for fans to keep an eye on.
