So I decided to do a bit of research and compare Stephen Curry to Nigel Munson as a recruit. Nigel Munson was the point guard recruit we offered and took the same year we reneged on the Stephen Curry offer. Essentially, from what I can tell, after our top PG candidate failed to qualify, we choose Munson over Curry. (UPDATE thanks @Chris Coleman) I looked at 247, Rivals and Recruiting Service Consensus Index (RSCI) for this. Munson's other offers I have found were Xavier, George Washington and George Mason, compared to Stephen Curry's Davidson, High Point, VCU and William and Marry (247/Rivals does say VT, but we know this was reneged). 247 lists Munson as a composite 4 star from Dematha with a 0.9349 score and the #129 player nationally, and #25 PG, (UPDATE) Rivals has him as a 3-Star and #109 overall and #22 PG and the RSCI has him as the #70 overall player. Note the top 100 players on rivals were 4-star recruits, so Munson just missed this distinction. While 247 has Curry as a composite 3 star a with a 0.8556 score and #147 player nationally and #32 PG, (UPDATE) Rivals has him unranked and a 3-star PG and the RSCI only lists the top 100, so he is not on there. The 247 scores for Curry don't match his national rankings in my mind (which is higher than I expected). Nigel is listed at 6-1 170, Curry as 6-2 165 Based on the rankings, Nigel was the better candidate. Nigel also had offers to what I would consider at the time some higher mid-major programs, while Curry was more mid mid-major programs. Neither were pursued by major programs. Size wise they are nearly identical. Curry is a bit skinnier, but not by much. Looking at these two in a bubble, not looking at legacy status or not knowing what we know now about Curry, who do you choose? I feel like more fans would choose Munson, he was much higher regarded by multiple sites. However, if we add the fact that Curry is a legacy back into the equation, I think some fans would choose Curry. SG did not look at this from a legacy stand point, obviously, and he decided he should only take one PG, so he went with Munson. It really wasn't a bad decision at the time, but it is one that will haunt (update) some VT fans for a long time. UPDATED everything above for some additional research I did based on CC's comment below. This additional research did not change my last paragraph much. If anything the additional research solidified that Munson was the higher rated recruit. ** Edited by HokieKoch at 8/13/2024, 1:38:24 PM ** Edited by HokieKoch at 8/13/2024, 1:56:47 PM
