Don’t forget we also had JamesOn Curry in that 2004 recruiting class until we rescinded his scholarship due to a felony drug conviction. He turned out to be a very good college player, but we did just fine without him.

Of course Curry ended up going to OK State and played with another NC native who ended up being a very good college player: Mario Boggan.
I don't think of Curry the same way that I think of Smith because I think of Curry as a bench player his freshman year who isn't going to demand a lot of minutes on a talented team. Smith, on the other hand, was an elite recruit and I'm not sure he'd have handled not being a starter/major contributor as well as Curry would have or as well as Marvin did.
