Have fun at your ACC school seth. Have fun being a third or forth option. Have fun possibly coming off the bench. Have fun seeing your point totals drop from 20 points a game to 10 points a game or less. Oh and have fun trying to make the NBA as a short shooting guard who averages less than 10 points a game. Because if you transfer to an ACC school, that is exactly what will happen to you.

Seth, you are amazing here. This is your team. If you go to an ACC school, it will NOT be your team. You will have trouble getting looks. You will struggle to score more than 10 points a game on average. You will have even more trouble making the NBA as the third option on a lower tier ACC school. So have fun with your future of mediocrity in a higher level of play...

I guess I took the fact that we offered one more scholarship than we officially have at the moment as confirmation that something is going on and am suprised we have not had any hint of turmoil on the team until about a week ago when Brolin left which was quickly explained as personal reasons. Now at least one more player is leaving the team and a few longstanding members of this board including Sly are saying they have heard rumors of this for weeks.

I have been on this board for a while now and feel confident that if there were issues on this team someone would have said something before now. It seems strange that now would be the time for folks here to start keeping secrets.

Unless those personal reasons revolved around Seth...

Why can't someone make that public? This is more of a 'curiousity' question, do our FFers in-the-know have a confidentiality agreement?

I know who it is as well, and you're right he would have just "heard" like the rest of us. However, Sly mentioned that it's an absolute possibility.

Prepared Statement for Seth Curry – March 24, 2009
Today I am announcing that I will not be returning to Liberty for my sophomore year. This is a difficult decision that I have reached after close consultation with my family and others close to me, and it is based on my desire to develop as an athlete to the fullest of my potential and take advantage of new opportunities that may be available to me in a higher rated conference.

My freshman year at Liberty has been an incredible experience. It has been a time of learning, growth and discovery of my potential as a person, a student and an athlete. For that I am deeply indebted to all of those who have influenced and supported me here – Coach McKay and his staff, my great teammates, my teachers, and my friends.

You have given me memories that will last a lifetime, and for that I cannot find words to express my gratitude.

Thank you,
Seth

Just so I'm clear, it was a high enough profile conference when LU was the only school recruiting you but it's not high enough now that you've gotten face time on Cold Pizza? Is that pretty much the situation?

Is this mercy-killing or cross-pollenation?

Oh mannn...... the AGII's of the world are going to have a field day.

I don't even know where to begin.

All I can imagine is me being back at Liberty, ready to do the sports talk show that I used to do... have Rocketfan intro the show by saying "it's the news that no one wants to hear, Seth Curry is leaving"... and then have me say "I don't want to talk about it" before changing the conversation and talking about the WBC.

Thats EXACTLY what it is. we were good enough when we recruited him but now that he has had some sort of success he wants more. I think the word greed... is a good word. And sly you are gonna have a difficult time stopping the curry bashing when he makes a stupid comment like that in a press release.

I find that reason pretty valid. It is about perception of who you play. There is nothing "Big" about the Big South. We cannot achieve our goals as an athletic department and stay in this conference. I am sure the powers that be know this and this is another example to illustrate that obvious fact. Good luck, Seth.

A couple of other points

1. I would like to see some more honest discussion about our teams since obviously there were some issues on this team that some knew about but were not honest about.

2. I am still optimistic about next year's squad provided there are no more suprises.

Just about the exact reason Jason Conley gave VMI 7 years ago when he bolted, and it was proven that Quin Snyder at Missouri was speaking w/momma Conley two months before he publically made his choice, and transfered to Missouri, where he helped them to home losses to Lipscomb Univ., and two or three other teams w/RPI's above 180.

IMO, the most important thing a college can offer seth to get into the NBA is a strength and conditioning coach. He will get broken in half. Does any school have one better than ours?

I look at it more as a blessing. We have dodged a bullet here. Now don't get me wrong, I think Seth is a great player. But the bullet we have dodged is having another LB here. And LB in all rights was a great player as well, but they are both selfish.

So I look at this as a way for us to have more of a team mentality. Hopefully there will be less selfishness on next year's team.
