Playing for Tech seems like an ideal fit for Curry, especially since his father played for the Hokies, but the true relationship between head coach Seth Greenberg and the Curry family remains unknown.

Tech offered older brother Stephen the chance to play as a walk-on for his freshman year and then receive a scholarship for his remaining three years due to scholarship limitations, but the elder Curry declined and instead went on to play for Davidson.

Despite the supposed snub of Stephen, one must also understand that Tech was the only ACC team to even consider Stephen for a scholarship.

Whether or not Stephen's situation and the apparent non-recruitment of the younger Seth has any bearing on the eventual decision is only up for speculation.

A little way down the road, Virginia will also desperately need some guard talent.

With the exception of sophomore-to-be Sylven Landesberg and, to a lesser extent, Sammy Zeglinkski, the Cavaliers do not have much to be excited about at the guard position.

Again, Curry could start immediately in Charlottesville, but the recent firing of head coach Dave Leitao makes Virginia an unlikely destination unless it makes a great hire.

Rounding out the rest of the North Carolina schools, Duke and North Carolina remain stacked at the guard positions with more incredible talent coming.

Unless Curry is content with potentially riding the pine, he probably will not end up at either school.

In addition to UNC and the Blue Devils, Georgia Tech also sports a stable of young incoming guards with a potential for huge impact. Transferring to play for the Yellow Jackets would not be wise for Curry.

Lastly, Clemson's guard situation may also be a suitable fit for Curry.

All of Clemson's current guards will be either juniors or seniors by 2010-2011 which could allow for Curry to shine for two years as a starter.

Terrence Oglesby starts at shooting guard right now for the Tigers, but with a big season next year, he could move to the NBA, leaving the shooting guard spot open for Curry from the start.

In the end, nobody really knows what will happen except for Curry and his family, but whoever lucks out and gets the heralded freshman will receive a definite boost in talent.

This article is absolutely and utterly terrible. At no point in your incoherent, mindless diatribe did you ever state anything of substance that could even resemble having a fleeting chance of truth or fact. I award you no points for your horrid attempt at a news article and may God have mercy on your soul.

Why would he come to VT. No chance. He's not that good anyways.

No Mike, let that hate out. The CT is in major denial that they have been sucking big time lately, let them know. The most interesting segment of an entire paper shouldn't be sodoku. Oh yeah and this article is lame, long, and boring as (insert profane word).
