Chris Gaynor was pretty filthy. In the Winthrop Hall of Fame.
PJ Hairston is one of those guys whose name you remember but can't remember a single detail about

Well you should remember his off-court shenanigans pretty well:
-Arrested in 2013 for driving without a license, misdemeanor marijuana possession and a handgun was found outside the vehicle [total coincidence obviously]
-Like a month later arrested for driving 93 in a 65 [in a 2008 Acura TL lol]
-The bizarre vehicle swap in 2014 with NFL WR Josh Gordon after a “chance meeting in a grocery store parking lot”
-Arrested on outstanding warrants in 2017 in Wrightsville Beach
-Warrant issued on charges of assaulting a female in 2018
The Holcomb-Faye brothers were fun to watch. Won a couple state titles with Coach West at RJR.
I remember going to Orlando to watch this team play:

I cannot remember all the players on that Kappa Magic roster but it was stacked. They were absolutely filthy.
That was also the year (if my memory serves me correctly) that I first saw Lebron.
On a side note: this got me curious about the best AAU teams ever. Check out this list: https://www.legendssf.com/blogs/legends-blog/14491885-10-best-aau-basketball-teams-ever
Some of those teams are absolutely bonkers.

that was a crazy period for NC hoops in general... you had the Kappa Magic guys + Felton (in SC), McCants, Eric Williams, Anthony Richardson (McD AA), Shavlik Randolph, Anthony Morrow, etc.
Also Mitchel Baldwin was a good HS player. Skip was after him and sad “you have until ____ to take this offer before we go with someone else.” We’ll he didn’t take it and we ended up with some dude named Taron Downey
Justin Gray and Curtis Withers (UNCC) would have both came out of West Charlotte in 2002, but Justin went to Oak Hill for his senior year. Eric Hicks went to Cincy from Dudley High that year.
Cliff Crawford from Parkland.
My wife taught there at the time, and he was also the starting QB. I remember his senior season after he committed to State being scared to death that he'd get smashed, as their offense was "snap it to Cliff, let him run around, and either take off or throw it deep."
