AAU run puts Montarius Hall on the map
Words. Jason Jordan
Victory Christian (Charlotte, N.C.) forward Montarius Hall had never played a second of AAU ball before this summer. But when his high school coach approached him about a new team he was starting, Hall was immediately intrigued.
“I had always wondered what AAU was like,” said Hall, a 6-7 rising junior. “I figured it could only help me out.”
He figured right. As his stock continues rising thank to his run with Team Charlotte this summer, Hall has Clemson, LSU, Xavier, VCU and East Carolina courting him.
“This is all still pretty new to me,” he said. “I was shocked at first because I didn’t put up big numbers in high school.”
As a sophomore, Hall played sparingly until the middle of the season, but still managed 12 points and 10 rebounds per game for Victory Christian last season. His numbers were identical for Team Charlotte.
“I love playing with my back to the basket,” said Hall. “It’s easy for me in the post, but I would have to say that my mid-range game is my strongest weapon. I’m just looking forward to getting better and getting more and more colleges interested.”
