# | The Arms Race continues - Northwestern set to open $270m practice facility Seems like there will be some environmental hoops to jump through building that close to the lake...flood insurance could be rough, from what I understand they are getting V-zones on the great lakes
I did the same thing, didn't realize it was old until I tried to like my own GIF that I didn't remember posting in a thread I didn't remember reading!
Can we like 'croots tweets?

# | Who Among Greenberg's Recruits Would've Been The Best Fits For Buzzketball Fair enough.
I just think dumping on Greenberg for not stripping a scholarship away from someone who had already committed in order to give it to Curry, basically just on name alone, because he didn't want to redshirt for a year that he would barely play anyways is a little overboard.

# | Who Among Greenberg's Recruits Would've Been The Best Fits For Buzzketball Again, look at who Steph was playing against. There is no reason to think he would have those same numbers against ACC opponents (unless you look at his NBA production, which there was no way of imagining in 2005 when he was a high schooler)
Also, maybe the perceived snub from all the big dogs is what gave him the motivation to prove everyone wrong. Nothing to say he would have developed into the same player he is today if he had come to VT

# | Who Among Greenberg's Recruits Would've Been The Best Fits For Buzzketball I know this thread is about how these guys would have done with Buzz, but, looking at what it was..Greenbergketball?...would he have been paired with other good shooters? an excellent transition game, and superb spacing and ball movement? Good shooters, yeah, the others...debatable.
Against better competition, if you put Curry on our roster in place of the guards we had during those years (Dowdell, Vassallo, Delaney), I really don't think he would have been any more impressive than the guys we had.
Curry was undersized coming out of high school, didn't play AAU, and only had offers from Davidson, (pre- Shaka Smart) VCU, and Winthrop, so it's not like anyone else was really high on him either...also, due to several early commitments, we had no scholarships for him to play as a freshman. (He wouldn't have played much as a freshman anyways, with Dowdell and Gordon leading the backcourt). He was offered a 4 year scholarship, to redshirt his freshman year, but Steph decided not to go that route.
Should Greenberg have pulled a scholarship away from one of the early commitments in order to give it to an unproven kid not generating a whole lot of excitement, who wouldn't play much that year anyways?

# | Who Among Greenberg's Recruits Would've Been The Best Fits For Buzzketball Steph Curry college stats(vs opponents like Charleston, Furman, GA Southern, Wofford, The Citadel):
2006-2007 - 21.5 ppg; 2.8 assists; 46% fg, 40% 3pt
2007-2008 - 25.9ppg; 2.9 assists; 48% fg; 44% 3pt
2008-2009 - 28.6 ppg; 5.6 assists; 45%fg; 38% 3pt
Zabian Dowdell (vs ACC schedule)
2006-2007 - 17.4 ppg; 3.1 assists; 46% fg; 38% 3pt
AD Vassallo
2007-2008 - 16.9 ppg; 2.2 assists; 44% fg; 39% 3pt
2008-2009 - 19.1 ppg; 2.6 assists; 45% fg; 36% 3pt
Malcolm Delaney
2008-2009 - 18.1 ppg; 4.5 assists; 38% fg; 35% 3pt
Sure Steph is one of the greats now, in the NBA, but there is nothing to indicate that in college he would have done any better than the guys we had on our roster.

# | Who Among Greenberg's Recruits Would've Been The Best Fits For Buzzketball Yeah, I was back and forth between Dowdell and Greene in my starting 5, figured you really couldn't lose between the 2 though
He fits our system better than Ford. Rather have this guy anyways....that's how it's done, right?
Seriously though, I'd love to see him in O&M

# | Nothing to see here (Former "Devyn Ford Commitment week!" thread) Kids my age don't care about Michael Vick. I know when all of you guys see Michael Vick, you guys see him as an elite talent, but my generation sees him and thinks "old man". When my generation sees Tyrod, they think "yeah he's Ok".
Aside from that, very well said.
this is making me laugh way too much

Make sure to mention that Fuente needs to try harder to close the deal on big time recruits. /s

I thought he was committing on Friday?
Beats my DHall story...in middle school, I picked off a pass intended for him. That is all.
3 day weekend, plus 2 sick days away from TKP...i come back, and going plaid literally means going plaid now.
