The Curry brothers

Jeff Hartsell on Stephen and Seth: “I could shoot myself.”

That’s what Winthrop coach Randy Peele said last week about his failure to seriously recruit Seth Curry out of high school.

Peele should put away the rhetorical gun. A lot of sheepish college basketball coaches are feeling the same way about the Curry brothers, Davidson superstar Stephen and Liberty freshman Seth.

Peele on Stephen

The Winthrop coach in the Tampa paper: “We’ve played Davidson’s Stephen Curry and some of the other guards, but I’d say he’s the best guard I’ve seen for us in terms of with the ball in his hands. To me, he’s just absolutely tremendous. He gets everybody involved in the game. He’s the straw that stirs the drink.” (Also, just as an aside, I believe as an employee of the St. Petersburg Times I’m contractually obligated to point out that the Tampa Trib spelled Randy Peele’s last name wrong.)
