Clemson Now A Factor With Virginia Standout
By Phil Kornblut
Clemson has become a major player for 6-8 Josh Hairston of Fredericksburg, VA according to his hometown newspaper. In July, Hairston narrowed his choices to Virginia, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, Duke and Ohio State. But he told the Free Lance-Star that Clemson and Memphis are now part of his thinking and he wants to visit both soon. Hairston has had an offer from Clemson for some time, but coach Oliver Purnell turned up his interest after scouting Hairston at an AAU event in Cincinnati. Hairston said there is no favorite and he plans to sign in November.
