That was a ridiculous video. Can't believe he's a freshman. Interested to see where this kid ends up

Unreal
Seventh is unreal. He continues to rise when he jumps. Great handle. Easily a future pro and probably the most deserving of the "next LeBron/Jordan" label out of all of the HS mixtapes I've seen.

WOW. That is one hell of a mixtape for a HS freshman. Probably the most entertaining one I've seen since Andrew Wiggins, and Woods still has 3 years until he goes to college. Mindblowing.

Kid is ridiculous, has
Kid is ridiculous, has everything you'd want in a ball player. Obviously athletic, great handle so he can create his own shot, court vision you can't teach that lets him facilitate, heady defensive presence...man alive we very well could have the next coming of Lebron James if he keeps growing!

NCAA refs are gonna call him
NCAA refs are gonna call him for that carry on his crossover. And all those clean blocks will probably be a foul too.

I lived in Columbia, SC for the last four years, and had heard this kid's name being mentioned when he was in 7th grade, but I never got to see him play. Wow! He actually seems like he could be better than the hype. Crazy to see what he's doing as a freshman. His school, Hammond, is a private school and plays against mostly private schools that aren't known for their athletics. He's gonna destroy kids when he's a junior and senior.

It'd be fun to get this kid
It'd be fun to get this kid to Michigan but I'll be satisfied with reeling in the number two player in that class Josh Jackson out of Detroit.

Kentucky
With the way Kentucky has been recruiting the top talent I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up there. Hope not but it wouldn't surprise me one bit
April 21st, 2013 at 5:04 PM

He's nowhere near Lebron's size, but..
To be that athletic at that age should be illegal. Kid has serious game.
April 21st, 2013 at 5:12 PM
#27
At that age is an
At that age is an understatement, he has dunk video from when he was 11. Kid is definitely a phenomenon

Lot tougher to be the next
Lot tougher to be the next LeBron when you are 6'2". LeBron was 6'6" as a high school soph, so it woudn't be unheard of for Seventh to get there. Kid is just an incredible athelete, makes me feel inadequate barely being able to dunk at 6'6".

damn.....
won't he go directly to NBA in all likelihood?
April 21st, 2013 at 5:24 PM
#30
No
To my knowledge, basketball players can't jump directly from high school to the NBA anymore.
April 21st, 2013 at 5:41 PM
#31
Correct!
Eligibility is based on a player who graduated from HS for at least a year and is 19 years old. They changed that back in like 06 or 07.
April 21st, 2013 at 8:36 PM
#32
He might be
Athletic enough to make the jump over the NBA's dumb rule
April 21st, 2013 at 6:21 PM
#33
Can't do that
but if he turns out to be as ridiculous as it seems he will be, he could play overseas for a year and get paid as opposed to playing in the NCAA (see: Brandon Jennings)
April 21st, 2013 at 10:30 PM
#34
Can't do it
But a kid like that probably doesn't need to bother with college ball. Graduate. Spend a year working out/protecting your ankles, go top 5.

Hold On
Let's not get too carried away with this kid yet. I'll be interested in seeing how he does next year against the Junior Varsity competition. If he is still doing this, then I'll be impressed.

This kid is clearly going to be great, but I wouldn't call him the next LeBron by any means. This mix actually reminds me a lot of John Wall's in HS.

MaxPreps Delivers Stats...
MaxPreps delivers some of his stats for this past season at Woods' school here (LINK).
This confirms that he is listed on the varsity squad, and as a freshman on the varisty squad, he average 19.3 point per game, 4.3 assists per game, 3.5 rebounds per game and has scored 443 points on the season. His individual game stats are on the MaxPreps site.
As for the video, I have to wonder if the O/U on Division I offers will be at 90% of the division. That's incredible.

The pressure on him to get paid as soon as possible
will be enormous, and the parasites who'd like to get attached to him are undoubtedly already licking their chops and counting their money.
Deadspin hit it right on the head, referring to "his eventual one-year Kentucky career."
April 21st, 2013 at 7:30 PM

Hmmmm... that MaxPreps link
Hmmmm... that MaxPreps link has him at 6'1. Probably not going to be the next Lebron. Now the next Derrick Rose...
