Here's how regardless of its tenuousness:
Maybe it is because of youth or possibly just the audacity of a hope (groan) but we saw this posted on one of the WAC team message boards -- the imploring of Liberty University's Seth Curry to come to such-and-such WAC team, followed by some reasons why he should do so.
We used to be like that, John "Imagine" Lennon dreamers who just couldn't understand why player A or player B wouldn't choose OUR university. Either added age or many a castle in the air that crashed and burned -- or a combo of both -- cured us of such a condition.
By the way, Seth Curry is the brother of Davidson's Stephen and the son of former NBA-er Dell. Seth just chose to transfer to Duke, leading us to wonder -- which is besides our original point -- did the younger Curry have his heart set on Liberty U or did a large number of assistant coaches and scouting services overlook him two years ago?
Anyway, Dell Curry resides in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and his wife were seen in the crowd at a number of the Davidson games that were televised this past season. Both sons made original choices to stay either close to home or fairly close.
So there is nothing in the past to indicate any reasons why Seth Curry would depart Liberty U (Virginia) and head way out west to either San Jose, Logan, Las Cruces, Reno et al. It's a guess albeit a fairly educated one that Seth Curry has never heard of many of the towns and cities that hosts WAC universities. Such is not a putdown -- just a reality.
When it comes to transfers, pay much more attention to a player's hometown and region or to a school he had under consideration prior to making his original choice.
