New WSU recruit to face future teammate in revered all-star games
Vance Hall, a guard from Franklin County High School (Frankfort, Ky.) who gave his commitment to Wright State on Monday, April 26, is on the Kentucky roster for the Kentucky/Indiana All-Stars Basketball Classic.
That means he’ll be going head-to-head against future teammate Kegan Clark of Jeffersonville, Ind., a member of the Indiana roster, in the two-game series. The states will play a home-and-home event on Friday, June 11, at Bellarmine University in Louisville and on Saturday, June 12, at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
Hall, a 6-foot-4 guard, was also a member of the Kentucky all-star team that faced Ohio on April 10. Kentucky lost 92-84, and Hall was the Kentucky MVP, leading the team with 12 points. Clark is another 6-4 guard.
The Indiana roster includes two Butler recruits in 6-1 Chrishawn Hopkins from Manual High School in Indianapolis and 6-9 Erik Fromm from Bloomington South High School. Another Horizon League recruit, Wisconsin-Green Bay’s 6-6 Daniel Turner from Mount Vernon High School, is on the Indiana roster.

Kentucky guard commits to Wright State
Vance Hall, a 6-foot-4 senior point guard from Frankfort, Ky., has given his commitment to play for Wright State beginning next season, Hall’s high school coach said Tuesday, April 27.
Hall, a three-year starter at Franklin County High School, averaged 24.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists as a senior and called WSU coach Billy Donlon to give his commitment on Monday night, said Franklin County coach Scott Chalk.
Hall was the MVP of Kentucky’s 11th region, which includes Lexington schools, and was a second-team All-State selection, Chalk said. Hall was also the MVP for the state’s East-West All-Star game and MVP for the Kentucky team in the Ohio-Kentucky All-Star Basketball Game on April 10, as he led the Kentucky team with 12 points. He has been selected to be on the state’s roster for the Kentucky/Indiana All-Stars Basketball Classic on June 11.
“He’s very strong and very athletic,” Chalk said. “He gets into the lane well and is a good rebounder, but he can also shoot. He made about 40 percent from 3-point range for us this year.”
Franklin County finished 20-8 this season and lost in a regional semifinal, during which Hall scored 27 of the team’s 43 points, Chalk said.
With Hall’s commitment, Wright State has two open scholarships remaining for next season.
