Being reported that Seventh is now in the portal. Too bad. Seemed to have all of the physical gifts in the world but just couldn't find a fit at UNC, or USC
Seventh Woods in transfer portal
- Thread starter midline
- Start date
Good Riddance!!!!!
When he chose UNC over us, back in high school, I never cared about his career after that!!!!

Probably a good move, never seemed to reach his potential yet. Hope things work out for him
Replacing Woods is why Frank brought his son in. He should suffice.
Seems as if every high profile recruit coming out of this state chooses somebody else. That is part of the problem.
So long, Seventh. We hardly knew ye.
this dumb extra year rule is only leading to a lot of mediocre players overstaying their welcome in college basketball.
4 more transfers and Seventh will have lived up to his name
Yes, it is a problem but it goes all the way back to Bill Foster. Not unique to Frank Martin. He is in on most of the high quality SC kids this year; more than usual, really. So hopefully he snags a couple.
Woods probably would have developed much better as a player and had a better collegiate career had he gone somewhere he could actually start or get meaningful minutes. He was just another body at UNC.
Woods peaked at 9th/10th grade and did not have to build his game up due to his athleticism. I think when he got his knee injury and couldnt fly around like he used to, it brought him down to earth
I always wondered how good he was. He had to have had some good showings on the AAU circuit, but all the highlights that I ever saw from him in high school was him dunking on a bunch of private school kids. Never saw him shooting many 3's either.
He played in a lot of games at UNC, but never seemed to excel even in garbage time. When did he hurt his knee?

Yes. Native transfers need to come here and light the world on fire like Devan Downey or Larry Davis 😁
So Brea Beal should've stayed in Illinois? Zia Cooke should be a Buckeye? Why would a player turn down an offer from one of the top programs in their sport? It didn't work out for him so he came back to his home state. Can't blame him for trying to make it in the big time instead of coming to USC when we weren't showing much promise.
I always felt bad for Seventh, he had all the hype to become the next big thing, he was Zion before there was Zion. I don't blame him for going to UNC, he probably figured he would play for a year or two and be a lottery pick in the draft. Unfortunately for him his injuries and lack of development at the college level has earned him a disappointing college career. I wish him the best wherever he goes.
Having said that, Frank Martin being unable to get Seventh out of high school, with this type of results he produced ia probably the best thing that could have happened to Frank. I can only imagine the amount of negative recruiting that would have occurred surrounding how Frank ruined Seventh's career.

One can keep hoping......but history is prologue as they say. Surely don't expect to see it now with the condition of the program
Seventh was never Zion. Seventh was a mixtape, a single highlight video on YouTube that blew up.
Yes for a moment in time he was "The Guy". The hype around him was ridiculously massive for a high schooler, mainly because of his mixtape very much like what Zion received a few years later. The only difference between the two is the results they achieved after high school.
I never got the impression that Seventh believed in Seventh.
Can you imagine the scrutiny? We forget he’s 22-23 years old. I wasn’t confident until 30 and I’m still working on it. He’s going through a transitional time in his life, and I wish him luck. He seems like a great young man.
UNC was stacked and he thought he could set the world on fire...so what happens, he runs back home when that does not happen....I do not see Beal or Cooke running back home...those two girls made the right choice...Woods, well good riddance...
