It's easier to use a scholly in football with 85 of them compared to bball.

Well, there is one thing for sure
Squatro • 10/11/23 09:11 PM ET
Where was the outcry when we didn't offer Steph a full ride?**
HokiesACC2004 • 10/09/23 07:12 PM ET
Imagine this board if a child of Steph curry breeds with a child of McClung**
GreenvilleVT • 10/08/23 05:30 PM ET
Offer him In Utero. Or any other Nirvana album. **
KCHokie2 • 10/08/23 10:53 PM ET
Coach K did not recruit him. Do you think he considers it his biggest
jrc3rd • 10/08/23 11:52 AM ET
Wrong. Steph was a Hokie. He says it in the documentary on AppleTV**
Rockfish40 • 10/09/23 04:25 PM ET
I was st a Hokie Club function where he showed up with his mom and dad…
HokieHeartNSoul • 10/13/23 11:24 PM ET
VT should have offered him...
GCHokie34 • 10/10/23 12:14 AM ET
So we should be recruiting based upon bloodlines?
Squatro • 10/07/23 07:28 PM ET
Brandon Semones came to Tech
Rockfish40 • 10/09/23 04:27 PM ET
Dell didn't need the scholly money. He made good money in the NBA**
UpperQuad • 10/10/23 01:59 PM ET
Sure about Pierson’s kid having a scholly?**

THIS generation have no idea or care, in history and past.
Mercury • 10/07/23 02:57 PM ET
I read below that had S C come to VT..
VPI63 • 10/07/23 04:24 AM ET
I have to throw the BS flag on that idea
EDGEMAN • 10/07/23 07:45 AM ET
In Seth's defense...a lot of other and better coaches whiffed too**
Vienna_Hokie • 10/09/23 08:58 PM ET
But he was a VT legacy
EDGEMAN • 10/10/23 07:05 AM ET
I agree with everything you say especially
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/09/23 04:23 PM ET
Bring out the dead equine …..**
Lancelot Link • 10/06/23 07:36 PM ET
A horse is a corpse, of course, of course.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 09:15 PM ET
Dead horse? I suspect involvement from Ralph Cifaretto. **
KCHokie2 • 10/09/23 09:59 PM ET
Wiiiilllllllbuuuuurrrr!**
Lancelot Link • 10/08/23 04:58 PM ET
that post got gelded**
knapnhokie • 10/08/23 01:02 PM ET
and no one can talk to a horse's corpse....**
ancient alien 2018 • 10/06/23 11:52 PM ET
Are you people really rehashing this nonsense?
HokieDan • 10/06/23 03:13 PM ET
Steph literally couldn't get a shot off against Dowdell and Gordon on his
vt90 • 10/06/23 09:16 AM ET
This would go away if Seth Greenberg ate his pride & said I screwed up. I
Stech • 10/07/23 09:52 PM ET
Hmm. As a true freshman, Steph put 32 on Michigan in his second game.
Gobbler Guru • 10/06/23 01:04 PM ET
I watched them scrimmage & he struggled to get a shot off.
13HOKIE • 10/06/23 02:30 PM ET
I watched it as well
farmville hokie • 10/08/23 05:35 PM ET
It's not......
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 01:16 PM ET
But it wasn't a 3 or 4 year difference in physical maturity.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 02:48 PM ET
His famous/infamous visit to VT was before his Junior year...
GCHokie34 • 10/06/23 09:13 PM ET
Please, don't confuse them with facts.**
Lancelot Link • 10/09/23 10:33 AM ET
Do yourself a favor......
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 03:30 PM ET
Got it. My bad. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 06:42 PM ET
A few points ...
vt90 • 10/06/23 03:15 PM ET
Bottom Line: Golden State thought he was enough of an impact player
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:29 PM ET
Oh yeah, there's never been a high draft pick that fizzled out
hoosnowahokie • 10/06/23 03:39 PM ET
That had absolutely nothing to do with my post. **
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:43 PM ET
All true......
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 03:35 PM ET
That wasn't the argument.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:51 PM ET
Literally search for “Hot Ones Steph” on YouTube
Hardcore_Hokie • 10/13/23 02:38 PM ET
In order to go.....
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 04:10 PM ET
Ok, I admit it may have delayed his development but for someone to say
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 05:25 PM ET
Steph acknowledges....
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 05:50 PM ET
It's not worth it hoop...just let them torture themselves. **
vthokieq • 10/06/23 04:15 PM ET
Thanks for the advice........
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 04:21 PM ET
It was roughly 18 months between the scrimmage at VT and when he enrolled
vt90 • 10/06/23 01:11 PM ET
He didn't grow 5 inches in 18 months.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 02:50 PM ET
I didn't say he did. But he was 5'10" when he visited and he is 6'3" now
vt90 • 10/06/23 03:00 PM ET
Well then, Curry was an impact player as a freshman at 6'-1'.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:24 PM ET
Good grief. Have a cold beer - may help you get over this after all these
vt90 • 10/06/23 03:32 PM ET
Had Steph come to Tech and played in the system at that time..he might ..
HOKIE75-79 • 10/06/23 09:10 AM ET
Good thing we stuck with our system, which got us to the NIT
Zanderhokie • 10/06/23 04:00 PM ET
This, to me, is the key point.
Gobbler Guru • 10/06/23 07:34 PM ET
I don't think Seth was shooting the lights out at that point.**
IB4TECH • 10/07/23 01:32 PM ET
He might not be in the NBA at this time? Are you kidding?
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 10:34 AM ET
Sure, it's an age-old and tired subject, but that's what grates Hokies
Zanderhokie • 10/06/23 04:07 PM ET
Ah, a voice of reason. Thank you.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 04:10 PM ET
And yet he won't play for his country... glad he didn't come to VT **
Palmetto Hokie • 10/06/23 01:12 PM ET
OMG!! Really sad post!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 10/06/23 05:49 PM ET
Good Lord. It's the Olympics, not a war. Career based decision....
vtbball80 • 10/06/23 02:14 PM ET
Everything you say is true.....
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 12:29 PM ET
NBA GMs and coaches aren't morons. Curry would've flourished in the NBA
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 02:36 PM ET
To flourish......
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 02:52 PM ET
I disagree on so many of your points.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:13 PM ET
Disagree all you wish......
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 03:19 PM ET
draft position isn't significant influence/predictor of future NBA success
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 04:03 PM ET
I’m fairly certain, Steph said exactly that recently. He was on Hot Ones
Hokies23 • 10/06/23 03:06 PM ET
Do you think he wouldn't have had as much success in the NBA if he had
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:57 PM ET
By the time he left Davidson, it was a no brainer for him to be a top pick
Hokies23 • 10/06/23 05:46 PM ET
Ok, answer me this. If Curry had gone to a college other than Davidson
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 06:26 PM ET
I think the question you asked.......
2hhoop3 • 10/06/23 08:13 PM ET
Thanks for a well-reasoned informative post.
win-tech • 10/07/23 01:41 PM ET
Others can .......
2hhoop3 • 10/07/23 01:47 PM ET
Then we will agree to disagree.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 09:05 PM ET
He is a top 3 PG all-time and a future Hall of Famer**
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/06/23 12:16 PM ET
Situation dictates success just as much as talent and the will to win
hoosnowahokie • 10/06/23 11:58 AM ET
Steph may never have gotten a decent shot at the NBA had he attended Tech?
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 02:42 PM ET
Curry literally said this himself 3 months ago.. you’re pissing in the wind
soflahokie • 10/06/23 04:07 PM ET
This is the post I was looking for. Thank you for that perspective.
HokiDoubleE • 10/06/23 11:38 PM ET
Interesting. I stand corrected.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 05:13 PM ET
Very real possibility he wouldn't have.
hoosnowahokie • 10/06/23 03:16 PM ET
You make so many assumptions, I don't know where to start.
YBYSAIAHokie • 10/06/23 03:39 PM ET
Because MD had to. Steph wasn't taking minutes from Jamon and Zabian
hoosnowahokie • 10/06/23 03:44 PM ET
Came here to talk about Rice not Curry. It’s been nearly 20 years. Can we
