Who were the three Virginia Tech basketball signees in 2006, the year Seth Greenberg offered to allow Stephen Curry to walk on and redshirt?

I'll take 20/20 Hindsight for $1800 Alex.

And in an apparently unrelated update, Seth Greenberg is now a college basketball announcer.

Couldnt the same thing be said for almost every major college basketball coach?

Not every coach was at the school where Dell Curry played college ball. Dell earned about $20M over his NBA career, so you'd think a program like Va Tech could afford to take a flyer on his kid

 

[Faustdog]

Yeah, everyone missed out on him. He played at Charlotte Christian and got plenty of exposure.

My understanding is that Dell Curry personally called Greenberg and requested a spot for Stephen and was told they just didn't have room. They were going to be rebuilding the next year (they signed 8 freshmen in 2007) and wanted Stephen to redshirt and be a part of that class.

Instead, Stephen went to Davidson and averaged 21.5 points, including scoring 32 against Michigan in his 2nd college game. Only freshman to score more than Curry that year was some kid named Durant.

You gotta give Davidson coach Bob McKillop credit, he had been recruiting Stephen since he was about 13 years old.

In 20 years or so, when Dak Prescott has a kid who is a 3-star QB and Dak asks for a spot for the kid at State, I vote we let him in. Just my opinion.

AMEN to Dak's kid!

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Good to see he has bounded back after getting Munson'd...

It is my understanding that we've got some of the best connected 17ers on this board. You'd think our neckwork would be stronger due to this.

Steph comes by his shooting skills honestly. I remember watching Dell one night in the old Mid-South Colesium single handedly keep Va Tech in a game against a great Memphis State team by hitting long range jumper after long range jumper. If they had been worth three at the time, it would have been a blow out.

Most if not all of that $20MM he made was because of one of the sweetest jumpers you'll ever see.

I wonder if we will be saying something along these lines in a few years about Tookie Brown. 17.6 ppg in freshmen season at Georgia Southern
