P.J. Hairston
PJ Hairston (December 24th, 1992) is a high school basketball player in Greensboro, NC. He plays for James Benson Dudley High School. PJ Hairston is a junior in high school and is set to graduate in 2011. He is currently committed to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he will play basketball. PJ is currently the fifth ranked shooting guard in the 2011 class and is known as an excellent three point shooter and a very powerful dunker. He will be a great addition for the UNC basketball team. His jumper is SWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT!!!"He is the next Wayne Ellington" says unc fan Hank Jackson.

High School
PJ Hairston attends James Bensons Dudley High School (more commonly known as Dudley High School) and is coached by David Price. He broke out big time in the basketball scene his sophomore year when he scored 41 points in a single game. He has participated three times in Dave Telep's Carolina Challenge. This challenge gives the top 80 recruits in North Carolina a chance to play and compete together. He is one of the top shooting guards in the nation for the class of 2011. His Junior year, he averaged 25.4 points a game and was named to the All-State team.

Playoff Success
In 2008, Dudley reached the State Semi-Finals where they lost to Kinston, and the following year they also lost to Kinston but this year in the Regional Semi-finals. On the Kinston team that ended Dudley's season two years in a row is Reggie Bullock, also a UNC commit. In 2010 Dudley also lost in the Regional Semi-finals, but this time to West Charlotte.

AAU
Hairston will be expected to carry the scoring load with Bullock moving on. Considering his multitude of talents, it should be a seamless transition. One of the best scorer's in the class of 2011, P.J. is another CP3 All-Star who can flat out stroke it. He's got the ability to knock it down from anywhere on the court, he can create his own shot off the bounce, and he's a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Like Reggie Bullock, Hairston is already committed to play at North Carolina. Roy Williams has the perfect fit for his system… A big shooting guard with a superb stroke who understands how to play with other great players and isn't afraid to drive the lane. (Shulman).
