Hall recently told ZAGSBLOG he was hearing from a slew of schools, including St. John’s, Kentucky, Kansas, Indiana, Gonzaga and Providence, among others.
Wherever he lands, Hall will be playing for his fifth school in five years after stops at UNLV, George Mason, UCF and Auburn, where he averaged 19.3 points and 7.1 rebounds last season.
St. John’s has a roster spot open after Spanish wing Gildas Gimenez was declared academically ineligible.
Former St. John’s forward Dillon Mitchell had been considering a return to college but opted to sign a Two-Way deal this week with the Boston Celtics, who drafted him 40th in this summer’s draft.
His contract is worth $678,882 while new St. John’s wing Tounde Yessoufou will make approximately $6 million and British point guard Quinn Ellis north of $4 million.
