Lebanon high school basketball three-star forward Jarred Hall commits to Tulsa

Lebanon three-star senior forward Jarred Hall announced his commitment to Tulsa in ceremony Monday afternoon in Lebanon's gym.

Hall, a 6-foot-7, 190-pound prospect, is ranked as the No. 213 player in the 2023 class, the No. 46 power forward in the country and the No. 4 player in the state according to 247Sports Composite.

"Coach (Eric) Konkol and his staff did a really good job reaching out and did their best at building a relationship with me," Hall said. "They stuck to what they told me, and everything was genuine. I think that what I can do there is the same thing I could do anywhere as long as I put the work in."

Last season Hall played a pivotal role in guiding the Blue Devils to their best season since 2001. Averaging 21.5 points and 10 rebounds, Hall led the Blue Devils the District 9-4A title, Region 5-4A title, a sectional win and the Class 4A state semifinals.

The state tournament appearance was the first for the Blue Devils since 2001.

Hall becomes the first Lebanon player since 1996 to commit to a Division I college program and only the third to do so since 1973.

"Today's a great day for Lebanon basketball and a great day for Jarred Hall and his family," Lebanon coach Jim McDowell said. "I've been coaching Jarred since he was in the fourth or fifth grade, and he's come a long way. He made a lot of sacrifices to get to the point where he's at.

"I can't tell you how many times he's been in the gym by himself or how many times I come in, open it up at night and he's in here working with his dad, putting in work. That's what a lot of people don't see when it comes to what he does, and all of that work leads up to a day like today."
