2009 NCAA Freshman of the Year Seth Curry

2009 NCAA Freshman of the Year Seth Curry,
originally uploaded by HPUPhotogStudent.

Wow, approximately three days after we (Duke) got destroyed against Villanova by 23 points we are back on the rebound picking up Liberty's ex-star guard and 2009 NCAA Freshman of the Year Seth Curry.

Crazy thing is that while I was in the shower about 40 minutes ago I was seriously facing the facts that Gerald Henderson & Kyle Singler may opt to enter the NBA Draft leaving us with absolutely no legitimate threat on offense (other than our 6-5 sharpshooter Jon Scheyer who was moved to the PG slot but lacks decision making skills in 2/3-1 fastbreak oppurtunities). Until, I thought of Seth Curry, a Point Guard that posses a deadly three point shot, the size to drive to the basket, draw the foul, and sink the free-throws. After toweling off and getting back on my laptop i saw my homie B-Leedy's status that read "SETH CURRY'S GOING TO DUKE" and began to viciously peck the keys in Google "seth curry duke".

After reading Andy Katz little write-up i simply began to chant "YES YES YES" and clap at the same time. btw, as I type this i just noticed that Andy Katz made a typo by saying that Dell Curry (Seth's Father) was a "former star guard with the Charlotte Bobcats" lmao but it's all good Andy...everyone makes mistakes...even super sports analysts.

So i'm very pleased with Coach K's decision to offer a scholarship to an athlete seeking more of a competitive conference that the Big-South didn't offer him. Even though Curry will have to sit out this upcoming season, it's all good because that just gives him more time to hit the weight room and Duke's wonderful practice facility and become the best player he can be.

and if you have time please peep this vid of his freshman season highlight tape...he has pretty good court awareness and some sick passes...his signature move seems to be some kind of crossover whether step-back or ordinary followed with a jumper
thats automatic!



and to think...this is what a person who was only ranked a three-star athelete out of high school with only three colleges showing interest in him (Liberty, Davidson and VT) can achieve...SMH

it's been a while homie's...

a week and a half to be exact

as of this moment im on the phone and listening to bull city's own...

Little Brother and thinkin' of how stressfull the next few months of my senior year are gonna be

as many of you know...

senior year is hella expensive

i just bought my cap-n-gown like last month, have to go to prom because it's senior year man...what i look like missing that, my yearbook and COLLEGE

i've devised a plan of better money-management that will hopefully help me save some money cause i can't seem to shake my fast-food addiction,

i've started to find the individual pieces of clothing that i've wanted for a long time for the low-low like a few Ralph Lauren Button-Downs and some kicks that will remain ds for a while...

on my to-do list i gotta display some of the best writing i've ever done in my life in order to hopefully recieve some scholarship change. i need all the help i can get forreal and i pray the skateboards flip in my direction on this one...

this is the last quarter of my high-school career and i think i wanna do something that i've yet to do in my long four year stay at Jordan High, and that is to get all A's. that will be veryy hard because of the fact that i'm taking the o'so pointless AP 3nvironmental in which i can give a rat's ass what i make cause i'm gettin' those 2 point's regardless cause i registered for that exam but yeah...im goin out with a bang, my report cards gonna be like this

Animal Science A+

Gen. Fitness A++

Honors English IV A

AP Environmental A--

Small Business A

and hopefully i will skunk past a few noobs in class rank in the last seconds like Scottie Reynolds amazing fastbreak against Pitt haha

soo yeah...that was a brief update on my life over the last week

hopefully you enjoyed it and i holla

3.18.09 [WELCOME TO AGGiELAND]

soo its 8:30pm and im still beat from my experience today

well i learned something valuable today:

"college cafeteria food is WAY different from high school cafeteria food

but the cafeteria ladies will always be the same"

lol

but on the real-

i had a really good time today...

it all started at 8:35am when my aunt vee picked me and my mom up

at 9:47 i saw my first ever aggie light-pole

at 9:51 i stepped into my first aggie building

--alright im done--

so we went on a tour with a guy named Robert

he was a pretty mellow dude

took us all around campus from the bookstore,village, student union, etc.

ohh yeah i met this girl from pennsylvania

i think her name was Brianna

she had an interesting story on how her father moved down here and her mother had open-heart surgery and how she just needed to transfer and how A&T was "awesome"

anyways i encountered the school radio station BLASTIN' Gucci

a student union that has a wing-store on the inside

alot of people that can DRESS not dress...if you're into hypebeasts...but some dudes that were pretty respectable

a bangin' cafeteria that was packed and had dishes from pasta to salad to burgers to cereal...

basically they had it ALL 

at a reasonable price 5$ all you can eat

went on a wild goose chase to find Barbee Hall for no reason b/c 

it's on a completely different side of campus then where i need to be so basically its between

Aggie Village (access to the Corbett Sports Center, The Gym and The Fitness Center)

Aggie Suites (Business/Economics building, all the above)

Pride Hall (all of the above)

ohhhh and you cant forget the A&T fitted & lanyard my aunt copped for me...

YES!

obviously im excited so...hit up my flickr for the photos from my journey

3.11.09 [LON-DUN]

Name:Theophilus London

Pronounced:The-lof-ah-lus Lun-din

Yeah soo a while ago I was just browsin' around illroots and i saw this mixtape cover with this guy with a weird ass name "Theophilus London" with an old school Cleveland Cavs snapback and and im like...uhhh 1st) how do you pronounce his name 2nd) should I give this guy a listen

unfortunately i didnt bother to listen and i over looked him and downloaded another tape instead

recently while going through Theo's pictures on facebook I noticed that he's friend's with him and have a few snaps together so I decided to give a second look into this guy. 

His music is classified as Soul/New Wave/Pop which basically means dance songs.

Theophilus London and KiD CuDi are very similar artists because they make music that you don't normally hear. 

Anyway's I dont mean to talk you guy's to death but if you want to hear something really different that is both powerful and could possibly make you bob-your head then 

"look look, gander gander"

and check out that dope graffiti

3.8.09 [DUKE V. CAROLINA]

this picture is unbelievable

for those of you that don't know...these printout's were created after Gerald Hendersons imfamous elbow into the nose of  the white college basketball savior himself...Tyler Hansborough

this free-throw attempt must have been the toughest of his life...

being face to face with hundred's of fake Wanted sign's of yourslf must have been very nerve-racking

from Jerry Stackhouses reverse-jam on 2 defenders

to Capel's game winning half-court prayer 

to Shane Battier's foul

to Eric Montross's bloody head

to Hansborough's bloody nose

to the consistency of being 1st & 2nd place in the ACC year in and year out

the legacy...

on to the game:

PG Ty Lawson (questionable) PG Jon Scheyer

SG Wayne Ellington SG Elliot Williams

SF Danny Green SF Gerald Henderson

PF Tyler Hansborough PF Kyle Singler

C Deon Thompson C Lance Thomas (questionable)

injury report:

Ty Lawson injured his big toe and didn't practice on Saturday

Lance Thomas injured his left ankle during the Florida State

senior night:

most likely reserves such as Bobby Frasor and Michael Copeland will start on'account of it being their last home game

key's to the game:

UNC

good bench play from Larry Drew b/c if Lawson plays most likely his minute will be very limited which results in Larry Drew stepping up as his back up.

Ed Davis providing energy off the bench and utilizing his long body to hit the boards and blocks.

Drawing fouls to get the white savior to the charity strike

DUKE

also good bench play from Greg Paulus...he needs to knock-down those 25 foot three's he very seldom gives up.

Starter's need to be well-rested b/c with the absence of Nolan Smith (concussion) and Lance Thomas (ankle) and a very un-experienced bench other than McClure/Paulus...we could be in BIG trouble

energy on the defensive end

a big game from Henerson, Singler and Scheyer

Key Match-up:

Danny Green vs. Gerald Henderson

Prediction:

I do not have one b/c everyone know all of the ACC games can swing either way depending on which team comes out and is aggressive for the get-go

LET'S GO DUKE,
