UNC's P.J. Hairston arrested

Featured Replies

Only one speeding ticket in my 42 years of driving.

 

In freaking Mount Orab, Ohio; where it goes from 55 to 45 to 35 in the blink of an eye.

Who did it belong to?

 

It is Rashad McCants old ride. Just got repossessed a few weeks ago.

Ahhh Rashad McCants, thats a blast from the past. Another faded star in the long lineage of the Dion Thompson, Sean May Eric Montross, Raymond Felton's of the world.

At least Eric Montross has a radio gig as the "color man" for UNC Basketball. Not sure what the others are doing.

Sean May plays professionally overseas.

Deon Thompson just inked with FC Bayern Muenchen.

I think that kind of hammers home my point. UNC seems to have an uncanny knack at getting top 25 guys and turning them into solid Europeon players.

Felton is the starting point guard for the Knicks. Who knew he'd be the one with an NBA career out of those three?

Pretty sure Felton is still in the league.

 

Yeah but he is about the best of the group, and they've had a lot of highly touted players come through there. The point I am trying to make is if Ray Felton is one of the best NBA talent's you've developed out of all these top 25 guys, something is wrong. Even he's had a hard time sticking somewhere in the league. Knicks didn't want him and sent him in the Melo deal, then Denver didn't want to keep him, tried the Blazers out and they didn't like him, Knicks let Lin walk and took a chance to bring him back now they're not satisfied. Career journeyman is far from all-star, so lets not act like he's the man just because he's still in the league.

 

 

My argument is not counting the 80's with Jordan, Worthy, etc. And not counting the 90's with Jamison, Stackhouse, Carter, etc.

 

 

But you take it from like the 2000's on and its almost mind blowing. They have had so many highly touted guys coming in from high school, and lots of super hyped guys while playing and even winning titles at UNC. You would think more of them would stick.

And thats not even giving them the Ware twins and Larry Drew (all high school AA's)

.....but yeah pretty medicore if you ask me.

I haven't even mentioned that a handful of those guys helped win two national championships. Just don't see the success rate of playing for UNC and translating that success to the league.

UNC AD Bubba Cunningham says P.J. Hairston will play this year. (However, he will not attend class.)
