Believe he is at West TAMU but I saw on BobcatReport.com over a month ago that he was trying to get eligible to transfer to Texas State.

EDIT: Not on the 2011 roster

Im hearing West Texas A&M. I can't find the whole article anywhere. Can anyone tell me why the NCAA would not let him play at Tulsa? I also wonder if he is at WA&M then why wasn't he ever mentioned as being recruited by us? I guess because we are so stacked at RB.(just joking please don't let that be the focus of the thread) I was just wanting to know a little more about the story without being to intrusive?

after that this happened:

Basically Hall's problems have been academics all along, he wanted to go to Lamar and then months later decides to go to West Texas A&M because he would need to get eligible for Lamar by taking classes at a JUCO. He could have worked his tail off during the spring and summer and been eligible but he didn't. From looking at the WTAMU roster it doesn't appear he made it there either and he doesn't show up on TxSt-Sm roster either.

Football alone will not get you into a uniform in college, you have to hit those books. It's a shame too because he really could have done some good things here.
