Commit of the Day: Joshua Hairston (12/09/08)

[ljordan32]

Broadway high school knocked his old high school team out of the virginia state semifinals

[sweettartiscute]

Im from Salem, va. I saw the SHS vs. CHS championship game in richmond last year. We got creamed and there was 1 player that really stood out on the CHS team. I looked up his number in the booklet and his name was joshua hairston. I was sitting right beside his cousin too rofl. Hes really good, so im gonna be a duke fan now.,

[robsten4]

the only way to be

[makeorbreakgirlz]

yea, salem and courtland might play again in richmond this year. . .

courtland is undefeated and salem has one more game to play. if SHS wins, there playin CHS in richmond. ill be there!

[makeorbreakgirlz]

and josh isnt on it... hes in some special training camp thing... so i hear from people at CHS. hell be at duke this upcoming season

[RepPhilly215]

Watch the Courtland HS highlights ft Josh Hairston. These highlights are trash

[saburbanhomeboi]

I thought he was white....maybe cause he sighned with duke idk anyway hes a solid player its a decent class don't see anything breathtaking about any of them but am looking forward to seeing what seth curry brings.......they may be pretty good in 11 no uk or anything....

[buckeyecrazy32]

lol

[Duke4Life1995]

He is not a show of either. He just gets things done. He is a fundamental player.

[Duke4Life1995]

i have seen this kid play before. He will continue to get better while at Duke.

[johnstonej676a]

Yeah foreal Lance is one of the hardest workers on the team. If there is a problem in my eyes as an Iron Duke and season ticket holder since 92' its that Wojo is our big men coach. WTF

[IMStr8throwed]

dunk the basketball son...  i hope this kid can shoot, because i'm not impressed at all..

[704ondeck]

hopefully this guy can b a key figure in expanding our program

[dukefan3528]

3 rings and a gold medal says the exact opposite

[dookie4life04]

he's def the real thing. i'm from spotsylvania, and i've seen him play at courtland high school. amazing talent that should really be a definite help to the blue devils.

[pook72]

hopefully he doesnt end up like a lance thomas...

an athletic forward in high school and a scorer that turns into someone who can score 5points a game in college...

[ballin1207]

lance thomas never had the drive to improve his jumper which really hurt him.

[KarmicJuggernaut]

yeah I was just thinking the same thing..... This guy looks better than Lance Thomas did in high school though.

[jojozbludevilz]

If you are a DUKE fan you should be ashamed. I hate douche bag bitches like you. On youtube doggin a guy that gives 100% for DUKE all the time and represents the program in a great way. I would take Lance on my team anyday!

[Ki2oFem]

Lance is much appreciated!!

[EdudLufetips]

yea. i am a duke fan but i have to agree here. we don't give respect if they don't turn out to be shelden or boozer or JJ or jay williams.

i love lance thomas. he brings it defensively with solid on the ball skills and rebounding ability. he's also a spark plug energetically.

all that said, he won't make any all ACC teams, as duke fans have become spoiled with over the years, and that's what many shallow duke fans want.

i will always love my dukies, and hope JH brings it.

[jspers99]

he will be the next Shelden Williams

[buckeyecrazy32]

not even similar

[DukeBD3]

yeah i hope he helps duke out. but was it just me or did it look like he didnt always dunk when he could have?

[Dre77Dre]

Looks like a smart player
