Saw this over on Rupp Rafters and had to share over here. I wonder what she has to "clear the air" about?

"I have never publically spoken about UNC and the time that my son and I had with the University. It is time to clear the air and let people know the perils and pitfalls that can come about playing NCAA basketball.

This tour is not to bash anyone or search for pity, but it is about empowerment, perseverance, loyalty, and family! A portion of proceeds from this tour will be donated to Domestic Violence Awareness."

And so starts the demise of the Hairston/UNC fans relationship. If anyone ever says anything bad about UNC you're forced to face the wrath of the UNC faithful. And when I say faithful, I mean true, blind faithful in every sense of the word.

I've been wondering when we would hear from PJ again. True it's coming from mom but still right on par. What's it been now 2 weeks since PJ has made the news. PJ just keeps giving and giving and giving. OFC
 
Hairston's mom loves UNC. I doubt it will be anything too negative about UNC itself.

That just feels like a radioactive, toxic waste wreck about to happen. You can see the glow from far off.

Seems like Former UNC players should start a public awareness campaign....I don't know something like "Got Dirt?" I bet OADD could help them out.

Just a money grab. If you are expecting some dirt on UNC you will probably disappointed.
 
What a freaking joke. Gofundme should immediately ban her account. Your son is an NBA player you have NO BUSINESS asking for donations.

I am from the UNC boards, but I am just saying is that everything regarding Hairston's mother (since the onset of the suspension) has alluded that she has the utmost respect for UNC and Roy Williams and that she felt the NCAA wronged her child. If you have other information, then by all means spill it.

The NCAA wronged her child? Really how did the NCAA wrong her child. You know that might just be PJ's problem. He is just wronged. every incident he is involved in is because he has been wronged by somebody. He shouldn't be responsible for the trouble he gets into because he is wronged and shouldn't be held accountable because everyone is out to get him and besides everything that he gets himself into everyone does it and it's just him that gets caught. I don't want to sound rude to you but please go back to the UNC board and post the same thing you posted here. you will get tons of likes and you can pat yourself on the back and feel that your are dead on right and feel a little better about the whole UNC situation. If not already you will be able to convince yourself if you haven't already that nothing at all that is not completely on the up and up has happened in Chapel Hill. Remember the standard defense of everybody does it at every school. I can't tell you how many UNC fans have told me that. It's like they've told by they've all been schooled into saying if a Duke fan or any other fans says something about the UNC cheating scandal just say everybody does it at every school. You can sweep all the dirt you want to under the rug but it's still under the rug. Keep own drinking that sissy blue Kool-Aid and please go back to your UNC support group and tell them what a simple minded mental midget pos I am. They will know who you are speaking about. It will make you feel a whole lot better. OFC

Can't help it. Tired of the trolls plopping their rear ends in our house and trying to sell us a Dean Dome full of crap. Do they really think they are going to pull it off? I guess so. Not a one of us would last beyond one post if when dropped in over at THR and posted as if it were our board. My patience for them is thin. I can't help it. I'm a Duke fan. I's my nature. OFC

^^^^Yet another example of how unx fans are either the stupidest/most gullible/ill-informed/all of the above fanbase on the planet. Consider this "spilling it," tarhole...

The NCAA had bupkiss to do with PJ. Roy and unx KNEW they were never gonna apply for his reinstatement. They needed 'im to stay for APR reasons and any application for reinstatement would've required the "flagship" to publicly address some uncomfortable questions regarding Fats , the weapon , the drugs and the rental car. This isn't the forum to try and re-write history and/or defend the indefensible actions taken by the most corrupt school in NCAA history.

I am not sure where I am trolling or where anything has been stated at a cross with what I have said. I stated all information I have regarding Hairston's mother is that she felt the NCAA wronged her son and she is still to this day a UNC fan with respect for Roy Williams.

UNC did not ask for his reinstatement because they knew the NCAA would not grant it. However, from what I have heard which may or may not be true is that initially the NCAA was going to reinstate him and then something changed during the suspension where that turned (I assume his continued actions or some new evidence). Hairston's mother was from what I recall upset that he was initially supposed to be reinstated and that somehow turned. Roy was pretty upset himself at that turn of events. Hairston's mother was mad at the NCAA.

PJ after that decision was made remained enrolled in online classes despite being done with basketball and in the D league.

Like I said, if you have other information by all means post it here. I would be glad to hear it and discuss it with you all. Hairston obviously is a former player who is making bad decisions repeatedly. I don't think anyone is even arguing that. I just have heard nothing about Hairston's mother being mad at UNC (and heard quite the opposite), so I was curious as to what you all had heard.

Classic UNC strategy: blame everyone else for your problems. So freaking predictable. UNC has a serious accountability problem, which is very sad considering it's charged with educating thousands of kids each year. What a joke of a school.

But why in the world does she think the NCAA wronged PJ. What does the NCAA have to do with the decisions he made? I just do not understand her logic OFC

According to her, the NCAA drug him along as he would be reinstated and then didn't intend reinstate him which made him not pursue other options earlier.
 
Gawd. unx is mired in YEAR FIVE of this scandal with no end in sight! Initially , we were told this entire thing was much ado about nothing and would "be all over by Friday." At what point do unx'ers just concede the obvious instead of immediately assuming the "flagship" is being run by adults...adults who put integrity over winning ballgames? "Roy was upset" "unx wanted to help PJ" "It was the NCAA's fault" yada yada yada. Do holes have any idea how idiotic that crap sounds five years down the road? Look , unc never intended to even APPLY for his reinstatement. Ever. Too messy. In typical unc "no accountability" fashion , the NCAA made an easy scapegoat. And in typical tarhole fashion , a unx fan wants to cherry-pick details in one "prong" of this mess that ( fortunately for unx! ) is long over with instead of dealing with the much larger issues that reveal themselves regularly. There's an entire thread here for that yet hole fans avoid it like the plague. Need a link?

Of course she wouldn't be upset with UNC. After all it was through UNC he was able to establish relations with Fats Thomas, who was able to provide him with free rentals, drugs, guns and other impermissible benefits beyond those that UNC was providing under the table. Also the Dental Foundation with all their impermissible benefits just to name a few. Heck PJ had to take a serious paycut when left UNC for the pros.

Alright let's try this. Let's say this happened at Duke. The gun, the speeding, the driving without a license, the rental car, fats, the slugging of a high school player. Everything the same. And just for the sake of having a name and not to imply that this young man has the same type of character and integrity as PJ which there is no comparison at all. The only thing similar are they are both the same size. Let's say it for instant it is Matt Jones. Sorry Matt I and everyone else knows there is no way you could get yourself into the situation PJ did and still does. Now let's say Matt's mom comes out with the same story PJ's mom has done. What would you imajercho think of this story ad what would be your take on it? Would think that really the NCAA would lead Matt and his mom into thinking he would be reinstated when it was Duke and Coach K that dismissed him from the team and it was Duke and Coach K that had the keys to reinstate him. You know what I think. I believe that PJ's mom feels that her son is entitled and has been ever since it became obvious that he was a very good basketball player and kept being entitled on through the AAU years and once he became a Tar Heel that entitlement came full force. Whatever answer you give me I will put it in the bank because I know you will not do a spin on it. My sincere apologies to Matt Jones and his mother. OFC

If it happened at Duke ( or anywhere else for that matter! ) the tarhole nation would take off the light-blue truth-blockers and call it like it is. Dean's legacy , Roy , the possibility that 2016 is unx's last best shot at a title and the entire carolina way myth is at stake so the holes will believe in Santa Claus , the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy if it means preserving their insulated fantasy land. Pathetic.

I think most of at UNC knew something big was going to come down on Hairston. We wanted it to be either announced or dropped. I mean, very little doubt it led to some bad chemistry and play. The Texas loss was almost certainly a strong product of that since it happened right when the announcement did come IIRC.

That said, if this happened at Duke we would have been talking about how the player should have been kicked off the team and deemed ineligible. Which is what happened here anyways.

Since I am on your board at this moment, I won't say more than that in regards to it. = )

Except PJ was NOT "kicked off the team" at unx. Stop with the revisionist history bs. The highway menace was given multiple 2nd chances despite being way too cozy with drugs , drug dealing , guns and impermissible benefits in the form of cash , high-end mouthguards and rental cars. Nevermind his relationships with scumbag alums (Iceberg) , a runner (Rodney Blackstock) and a felon (Fats) with multiple convictions on his rap sheet. At the end , unx got the best result they coulda hoped for. Their team APR (already dangerously close to UConn territory) wasn't negatively impacted because Roy strung 'im along and kept 'im in school. They were also spared anymore NCAA probing. True , it cost 'em some under-the-table hush-money to PJ but unx has no qualms paying whatever it takes in CYA. Besides , PJ came much cheaper than lawyers and a PR firm.

Nice spin.You've been taught well. You are a great UNC fan no doubt about it. My personal question to you goes unanswered..One more thing. Our mods are not your mods. They will give you some room to voice your opinion as long as it's civil and respectful. OFC

imajericho, dude, seriously. Stop the games. We all know you can NOT be this stupid. You just can't. It's really neat you came over and interacted , now run on back to the baby blue board, you are seriously embarrassing yourself. Everything PJ did was wrong. Nobody to blame here but himself. Well, and maybe your university for giving him WAY to many chances.

You are right. You didn't say he did anything wrong but the NCAA thing is crazy and you know it. HOF Coach Roy Williams recruited PJ .
PJ had questionable character issues when he was recruited and those flaws showed up right away. Now if he didn't have tose issues before he went to UNC then he must have developed them after he got there.HOF Coach Roy Williams knew exactly what he was getting . Mama whining about the NCAA is about the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Show really gave you some good advice. You should have posted your reply on THR. By this time you would have had about 50 likes and you're right about that comments. OFC
