Greensboro's Hairston picks Tar Heels

Junior guard P.J. Hairston of Greensboro Dudley committed to the University of North Carolina on Monday night.

The 6-foot-5 guard is one of the top players in the Class of 2011.

Veteran Dudley boys basketball coach David Price said the thing
that P.J. Hairston does best is do everything well.

"P.J. is a smart player. He plays great defense. He is best known as a
shooter. He is a passer," Price said. "He can do everything well. Also he is
very unselfish. Name it ,and if you do it on a basketball court, he does it
well."

Recruiting analyst Dave Telep said Hairston is one of the top underclassmen
in the country.

"Taking him is a no-brainer when you add it all up," Telep said. "He is a
tremendous athlete. He has great size. He can go to the rim. He has great range
on his jump shot. He is just a complete player. He is not a player you want to
see on the other team's roster."
