White Station's Hall visits Kentucky, still considering UT, Memphis

Memphis White Station rising senior forward Ferrakohn Hall, the No. 78 overall prospect according to Rivals.com, recently returned from Kentucky's Elite Camp and continues to weigh scholarship offers from Tennessee and Memphis.

"I haven't narrowed anything down. I like Kentucky. I like what Bill Gillispie is trying to do," the 6-foot-7 Hall said Thursday.

"Tennessee and Memphis have offered. Kentucky is talking about offering."

Meanwhile, Manassas rising senior forward Reginald Buckner committed to Ole Miss.

After telling a reporter earlier in the day he was still considering Ole Miss, Missouri and UTEP, among others, the 6-foot-8 Buckner had a change of heart late Thursday afternoon, electing to commit to Andy Kennedy's Rebels following a conversation with his mother.

"My mama said I needed to go ahead and make my decision, and she had Ole Miss in mind," said Buckner, who had additional scholarship offers from Baylor, Bradley, Georgia State, Lamar, Middle Tennessee State and Southeast Missouri.

"She really didn't want me to go too far from home."

Ranked the No. 91 overall prospect in the class of 2009 by Rivals.com and the No. 19 small forward prospect nationally, Buckner averaged 16 points, 13.7 rebounds, 6.7 blocked shots, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game as a junior last season in leading Manassas to its first state title game appearance since 1985.

Buckner said Kennedy told him he had one scholarship still available for 2008, but planned to hold it for Buckner until 2009.

"Kennedy told me I was their No. 1 (recruit), and that they were willing to hold a scholarship from (2008) to next year," he said. "So it's 100 percent I'm going to Ole Miss."

Buckner is the second Rivals.com Top 150 prospect from Memphis to commit this summer following Briarcrest Christian rising senior guard Leslie McDonald's commitment last month to North Carolina.
