The Grounds

Ahmad doesn't fall within the parameters. If you are going to expand the parameters of the question to include Ahmad, then Lalich would be much higher on my board than him.

George Johnson? He went to Rutgers. Turned out okay.

The only one that I heard that was even in the same conversation as Curry was Allen Iverson. I've heard, through all of my 757 boys that were older than me, that he was a bona fide super star at QB back in the day. Obviously there have been many great athletes, but this kid was faster and quicker than Mike Vick. I never saw him on the gridiron, so I can't comment more than 3rd party info, but he must've been a great one for these guys to talk like they did about him.

For those of you who were not following UVa athletics when Ronald Curry committed to UVa, I auggest you read the following article. It is important study in a player whose de-committment that shapped UVa Football as much as few events have.

For those of you who were, I suggest you don't. It may take another month off of your life.

He could be a once-in-a-generation quarterback. He's The Natural.''
