Chapman discloses how the top college programs from across the nation were interested in adding Curry to their roster after the latter\u2019s impressive freshman season. But, after being rejected by Duke a year prior, Steph decided to stick with the team who trusted him from the beginning \u2013 the Davidson Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/04\/f258bab9-untitled-design-2024-04-09t122435.387.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"Dad \u2013 Eff Them\u201d: Rex Chapman Reveals Stephen Curry's 'Brutal' Response to  Colleges Chasing Him After Davidson Freshman Year - The SportsRush\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-stn-b9E69xei\" class=\"min-h-60 lg:min-h-[29rem] data-event mb-4\" data-type=\"ad\" data-variant=\"stn\" data-property=\"b9E69xei\">\n<p id=\"article-content-block-2\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Stephen Curry had a\u00a0phenomenal freshman season\u00a0for the Davidson Wildcats. The lanky 6ft 3\u201d guard started 33 out of the 34 games in the season and concluded the 2006-2007 season with 21.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals while shooting 46.3% FG and 40.8% 3FG per game, per Sports Reference.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-3\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Following the terrific performance that he displayed, all the powerhouses of college basketball were interested in acquiring the sharpshooter. Rex Chapman, a great friend of Dell Curry, was receiving calls from numerous esteemed programs to try and convince the youngster to transfer to their programs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ad-google-1063042683\" class=\"min-h-72 data-event mb-4\" data-type=\"ad\" data-variant=\"google\" data-property=\"1063042683\">\n<p id=\"article-content-block-4\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Duke was one of the many schools that showed keen interest in adding the 185 lb shifty guard to their roster. However, merely a year ago, the same North Carolina-based university rejected adding Curry to their team even as a walk-on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-5\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">After asking for 24 hours to consider the Blue Devil\u2019s offer, Steph told his father that he didn\u2019t want to play for the team that denied him a spot on their roster merely a year ago. To Dell\u2019s surprise, Steph even let out a cuss word as his son decided to stick with Davidson.<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-6\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p><em>\u201cRex, you know Stephen doesn\u2019t cuss much but this morning he said, \u201cDad \u2013 eff them.

Mainly due to his size, the 3-star recruit didn\u2019t receive offers from many D1 college teams. The Virginia Tech Hokies did offer him a walk-on spot as an obligation to Dell, who played for them for all four years. Hence, Curry even turned down the offer, ultimately committing to play for Davidson College \u2013 a program that showed keen interest in having him since the beginning.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-10\" class=\"data-event\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Steph would defy all odds and put the basketball world on notice merely a few games into his first season.
