Duke didn't waste any time sulking over its Sweet 16 loss to Villanova Thursday night in Boston. Instead, the Blue Devils picked up the most coveted transfer available when the nation's top scoring freshman, Seth Curry of Liberty, decided to transfer to Duke for next season.

Curry's father, Dell, told ESPN.com Sunday night after a visit to Durham earlier in the day that Seth was offered a scholarship by the Blue Devils and accepted. Curry, who averaged 20.2 points a game for the Flames this past season, will sit out the 2009-10 season and be eligible for 2010-11 as a third-year sophomore. A source close to the Blue Devils confirmed the transfer offer was made and accepted.

Dell Curry, a former star guard with the Charlotte Hornets said once Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski made clear the Blue Devils wanted him, it wasn't a hard decision for Seth. Dell Curry said Krzyzewski stressed that the Blue Devils will need scoring guards in two seasons after the departure of juniors Jon Scheyer and Gerald Henderson. The Blue Devils have two younger point guards in sophomore Nolan Smith and freshman Elliot Williams, who would be a senior and junior, respectively when Seth Curry would be eligible.

"Coach K kept telling him the timing couldn't be better," Dell Curry told The Associated Press. "There'll be plenty of opportunities to contribute."

Seth Curry said the opportunity to continue his career at Duke, and get a Duke education were other major factors in the decision. Dell Curry said the family was wowed by the new Duke practice facility, which Dell said is on par with NBA facilities.

Seth Curry's plan once he left Liberty was to transfer to an ACC school in his home state of North Carolina. He accomplished that goal within the first week. Dell Curry said that Liberty coach Ritchie McKay "was great through the process and really helped us. He was tremendous. He showed no bitterness."

The 6-3 Curry led the Flames to a 23-12 record this season and an appearance in the inaugural CollegeInsider.com tournament.

Meanwhile, Dell Curry said his elder son, Davidson junior guard Stephen Curry, still hasn't made up his mind on whether to declare for the draft. Stephen Curry is a projected lottery pick. He has until April 30 to declare for the draft, But Dell Curry said Stephen won't let the decision drag too long.

Rules require it with a transfer.

This is his mom. An attractive woman, but not one of her better photos.

**crisp** · 03-30-09, 05:04 PM

dumb move and now he has to sit out a year. i would've just stayed at liberty.

**Chi_archie** · 03-30-09, 05:08 PM

why is that a dumb move? nothing wrong with sitting out a year.... gives him an extra year to put on a little size.... now he'll play against some of the best collegiate players and have a much better chance at an NBA career.....

I mean stay at Liberty? Liberty.... c'mon

If Duke ever got another Carlos Boozer-type to go with all the perimeter guys, they might actually win more than two NCAA games.

Why was he at Liberty in the first place??

Good point. Why didn't he enroll at Duke? Was he heavily recruited? I'd never heard of him until two days ago.

**fiveteamer** · 03-30-09, 06:48 PM

You think he'd want to stick it to every ACC team for not recruiting him. Why is his brother at Davidson? Every ACC coach fukked that one up.

**Fiasco** · 03-30-09, 06:55 PM

Stephen was too small

I've heard about seth being he grew up like an hour from me but IDK why he went to liberty.

**fiveteamer** · 03-30-09, 06:56 PM

Are you saying Stephen couldn't have played in the ACC?

**jjgold** · 03-30-09, 07:08 PM

Guy is an average player, this is way overblown.

**BetterBetter** · 03-30-09, 08:57 PM

His mom is above average though.

right on the money. he'll be riding the bench most likely. anyone can put up 20 for a shit team like liberty. as for his mom yea she's ok but thats what you get with lots of makeup. just look at kurt warner's wife.

**jjgold** · 03-31-09, 04:52 AM

Cury will be luck to play there any significant minutes

If he was so good Liberty would of been like 30-2 instead they lost like 15 games ort so

LOL

**Chi_archie** · 03-31-09, 09:16 AM

He'll be a starter or gettng at least 30 mins his junior year for sure..... a player like him isn't meant to carry a team, and he won't have to carry Duke, but he fits perfectly into their program.

they must think pretty highly of him to give him a full scholarship for only 3 years of eligibility and possibly less, if he follows in his brother's footsteps (if steph goes pro this year, which I don't think he should)

Pure shooters that can get their own shot, are always valuable...no matter the system

he took a 16-16 team last year to a 23-12 win this year including wins over Virgina and George Mason

They went 23-12 with 6 losses by 5 points or less--and they had 3 starting freshmen.

Kid's good. He'll get serious minutes at Duke.
