I think if Seth Curry will come to State, we should give him a scholarship.

A few reasons


First, Rivals listed him as a 3*

http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?pr_key=60019&Sport=2

that's pretty good, and we all know how kids who don't play AAU can greatly be hurt in the assessment of their ranking. It was clear that it affected Stephen, and it affected Seth.


Next, for all the people who said he played against shitty competition. Sure, he did. But it's not like John Wall or C.J. Leslie exactly played ACC teams every night either (it's scary how many games they lost with Bishop Daniels on their team too). We at least saw Seth against ACC competition and he dominated. I think Seth would be a great player to have on the wolfpack and can make a great contribution. Also a commitment like this would def helps get Leslie back.

I would give the scholarship to Curry before I gave it to Wall (oh boy I'm waiting for the trolling here).

Anyways just my two cents.

Yes, that'll probably be quoted for the duration of this thread, but hypothetically (of course), there's a scholarship for both of them, correct?

3/25/2009 9:24:07 PM

yeah but if you gave it to Curry, you'd have one left and do you give it tot he big or to Wall. I'd give it to the first who claimed it.

I just think a skillful player who can contribute for more than one year will be a great asset. I"m still afraid wall will be good for a year and then our PG situation will be shaky again.

You can win without bigs, you can't win without guards. Period.



I'd be skeptical about him coming here, but he would have to sit for a year, we'd get 3 seasons with him almost for sure, and he wouldn't have to be the main guy with Brown and Harrow. As a matter of fact, I think I'll shit my pants if I see those 3 on the floor together with Tracy and Howell locking down the 4/5 positions. w00t.

3/25/2009 9:27:39 PM

That's why I'd make sure there was a scholarship for him. Because in two years we can have a nasty line up.

Anyways, my post was more just defending him against all the people who think he's shitty. Not about whether we want him or Wall.

Who's "the big" you refer to?

Again, hypothetically (of course, because this will never happen), but if we could pick up both JW and SC, that would benefit the team much more than picking up any "big-man" we might still catch in '09.

And even if we got only one of them, we'd have an extra scholly for next year.

(We'll have javi, harrow, brown, and mays to run the point in '10.)

V for this thread's sake, I'd take JW & SC, or just one and him, or any one of them really. We've already got a good '09 class.

Yeah I would too, but I think John Wall isn't coming.....I sure as hell hope he does though.

Curry looks smooth as hell, but not very quick. I'm not sure he'd be able to penetrate much in the ACC. He's got a great, great shot though. Kind of reminds me of Fells ... minus the brainfarts.

Yes and you are just a bastion of knowledge!

Trust me I know my sports more than 99% of the population.

Sorry for being negative, it comes from 23 years of NCSU dedication.

But anyhow, I am hearing from some people that Duke is the early rumor for Curry.

I know a little childish to make a comeback like that to someone who is being childish.

Thing is I could talk just about any sport with someone like you simonn even though we might not agree on everything.

3/26/2009 1:38:14 AM

i can't tell if that's nearly complimentary or condescending. i'm going w/ nearly complimentary unless you tell me otherwise.

3/26/2009 1:55:23 AM

I only read the beginning of page one.

2.3 apg

We need a pure point guard. One who can run the offense and set up other people. We don't need another scorer. However, I'll take whatever good players we can get.

3/26/2009 1:59:05 AM

In 2010 we will have Harrow running the point, Curry at the 2, Brown/Wood at the 3, Leslie at 4 and Howell at 5 (not to mention upperclassmen like Javi, CJ Williams, Julius Mays, Tracy Smith, and Johnny Thomas)... don't forget potentially Wall at point too.

3/26/2009 3:15:27 AM

so would this guy be getting attention if his brother wasn't one of the best players in the country? not a troll, just curious.

3/26/2009 4:49:13 AM

yes. he lead all freshmen in scoring last year and helped Liberty beat teams they had no business beating like UVA and George Mason, not too mention very close losses to Clemson, DePaul, and Saint Louis.

at 6-3 180 he'd play SG for us. bottom line is that we will probably have to start running a look similar to what Villanova and Marquette have run in recent years by forgetting positions and putting your best players on the floor, even if that means you run 3 guards in the lineup. it would make us more athletic and able to run easier, but potentially hurt us against teams with big lineups.

uh, you do realize that we just lost a majority of our offense to graduation right?

i would shat my pants if we got this kid.

Au contraire, I beleive we could use another scorer, especially in the backcourt. (i mean, who do we have now that are "scorers"? Smith? Potentially Brown?)

^,^^, are right on. We surely need scoring.

This sounds gravy and all but Wall and Leslie are not coming so just be ready for it.

Harrow/Curry/Brown would be suffice for me with senior Tracy Smith and soph Richard Howell inside.

"Any guesses on where he is headed? There are a couple interesting potential legacy destinations: Davidson (replace his brother) or Virginia Tech (his father’s alma mater–helping Seth Greenberg save some face and get in the NCAA tournament, but that bridge may have been burned). Or will Seth go to another big-name program? There are plenty of other programs that could use a guy who averaged over 20 PPG as a freshman and averaged 25 PPG on 55% FG in 2 games against ACC opponents (Clemson and Virginia) this year. I would think he would want to stay relatively close to home (Charlotte area) and be in a starring role at a place where he could take over in a year so I would think that would exclude a place like UNC or Duke, but I could see him at Wake Forest or NC State (potentially saving Sidney Lowe’s job) particularly since all of their current stars leaving by then. "

Sid: Man, if you don't come here and make it look like I know what I am doing, Imma be out on the streets.

Seth/Wall: I don't want that kind of pressure, Imma go somewhere else.

Quote :

"NC State: This would be fairly close to home and at a big-name program albeit one that has fallen a few notches since they let Herb Sendek go. This would have to be a huge addition for a program that has fallen to the #4 program in the state (possibly lower) and could save Lowe’s job. "

^FWIW, it's been said that he wants to play for a NCarolina ACC school.

3/26/2009 10:31:27 AM

I would think that if he came here he wouldn't be the go to guy so that 3 point percentage would improve a little. He wouldn't have a green light from half court since by that point we would have scorers in Tracy, Brown, Harrow, etc...


I don't see how this could be a bad thing, but whoever wrote that article about it "saving sidney lowe's job" needs to suck a fat cock and get real. Seth ain't that good. Lorenzo Brown is already going to save Lowe's job, and if he doesn't Harrow will.

3/26/2009 11:12:51 AM

Honestly, I think Curry would be a huge get for us and I think we have a great chance to land him. He instantly brings "name" recognition back to the program, he can flat out score and he's a good kid...

Bring him aboard... please.

3/26/2009 11:17:48 AM

agreed....I just think the idea of him saving Lowe's job is insane...of course if the media thinks that, then maybe some of our fans will shut up.

I am glad someone can be positive about it. I certainly hope Lo Brown is as good as advertised.

To the people that don't want Curry: WTF are you guys smoking?

word on statefans is curry to duke.

between you and me, statefans doesn't know anything.

yeah, no one ever knows anything. no one on tww knows anything either. but we still talk about it.

and it was in the comments, not any article on statefans.

i would very much like to see seth curry at nc state

3/26/2009 9:12:18 PM

recruit him w/ this

he will end up at duke, wake, or clemson. Right now he likes duke.

this is not my opinion, this is what i have been told by legit media sources.

[Edited on March 27, 2009 at 10:49 PM. Reason : .]

3/27/2009 10:49:14 PM

I doubt he ends up at Duke, unless he wants to walk on.

I mean, I'm sure he can afford it, but I still don't think he would get much PT at Duke.

He probably ends up at Wake, but who knows.

3/27/2009 11:27:08 PM

thats not some nc state shit. nc state shit would be for us to get a committment from him and the next day he commits to dook citing "packpride" as his reason for not coming here.
