Do yourself a favor......

and think before you post, understand what was actually said and then try to respond relevantly as opposed to continuing to embarrass yourself. The 3 or 4 year reference was the physical development period difference between Dowdell and Gordon when Steph matched up with them. VT fans, at least the ones in this thread are not making excuses, they are offering real time assessments as opposed to fantasies feeding off of hindsight.

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?**
VT One • 10/10/23 01:25 PM ET
It's easier to use a scholly in football with 85 of them compared to bball.**

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

Bring out the dead equine …..**

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. **

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.**

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
