Seventh Woods Coach Speaks...

Hasn't committed and hasn't made a decision are two very different things.

I think he knows and I think it's us.

I think you are correct.

Seventh's heart is telling him to stay home and play, his head is telling him the smart thing for him to do is go play for Roy Williams.

Logic almost always wins out . .

Its my guess that Seventh has known where he wants to go ever since the Roy 'in-home' that took place in early September.

I hope it's UNC! This is a big decision, so take your time young man. He would really thrive in our system and with our coaches, but I understand the lure of being a home town savior!

Can't go wrong with Roy!

UNC coaches/staff talk to kids all the time. For some kids UNC has relationships with them that start as early as 10th grade. Situations change, people change, but as posted above most kids want to land at a top basketball school and kids know UNC has been on the map for quite a long time. South Carolina on the other hand...not so much on the national map...and have actually fallen off the map, IMO, and Frank Who is coaching.... just sayin'...
 
Carey Rich, a former USC player and current radio host, says on Twitter that Seventh is very conflicted between USC and UNC and there is no timetable. That coming from a USC guy has to mean it's now a solid UNC lean.

Crystal Ball 80% for SoCar BUT no predictions since the summer so it would appear that no one is willing to draw a conclusion from his recent visits.
 
All I hear is his Mama's pushing for uSC. I mean it's only a 3-1/2 hour drive!?!? If my Mama be like that, I'm committing to the real USC, 2500 miles away!
 
According to multiple sources Roy has recruited Seventh longer and harder than any previous player. Harrison Barnes said he chose UNC because of Roy's recruiting style (Roy saw/visited Barnes more than any other coach).

Tough choice for a young person. He would, I'm sure, like to please some folks but in doing so would he possibly hurt others? I know I am biased but honestly, in the long run, his parents both will come to understand the benefits of being a Tar Heel, I hope he joins the family.

And where did you get your info or read that?

The interview in the link he provided. The interviewer asked Seventh if the rumors are true that he has told Roy he will be coming to UNC. Seventh is waiting until November 11th to announce his decision because that is when one if his teammates is signing with his college, they want to do it together. Speculation Seventh has made up his mind already, but is waiting until November 11th to go public.

Thanks SK....Work computer blocks that video but I will check it out when I get home! Thanks for the info! I really want to get this kid at UNC!
 
As sk1310 points out "he has told Roy he wants to go to UNC"...and I do think that is true, especially that he may well have his mind made up.
So he waits to announce with a HS buddy, good for him and his friend.

Not to rain BUT even if true a LOT CAN happen between now and the 11th of Nov...
 
What I think is a great sign for us is that he has announced that he will have a dual signing with his buddy who is commiting to The College Of Charleston. Living in the Columbia area, if he had a solo presser and announced for UNC, it could get ugly with the crowd. By doing a dual announcement, some of the attention is deflected on his buddy declaring for another college, not USC. If he was going to announce for USC, he would be better off blowing the roof off of Columbia instead of sharing the spotlight with someone declaring for The COC! Just my opinion!

Makes perfect sense to me, but I'm a little predisposed to believe anything that favors the Heels.

I know we are doomed on the Wood's decision when a lib says "logic wins out".

I'm looking at it on the flip side...that both stay in state...making it a big day for the state!!
 
My optimism with Woods faded when we lost Markkenan. I know the two recruits weren't related in any way, but it just feels like the little bit of momentum we had gotten has fizzled out and pessimism is ruling the day. And from reading Woods' twitter feed it was interesting to see how glowingly he talked about the Columbia community in the wake of the flooding. It made me think he's sticking around the hometown. I think we're behind and I think it's close to a done deal.

Not to mention officially losing Giles. I know that wasn't a surprise to many of us but to another recruit it could give red flags to a young kid and his family.
 
Wow you guys sure are sensitive! It takes so little for you to get depressed, but a mountain of good news for even the slightest optimism. Giles and markkanen have no bearing whatsoever on Woods. They have never been connected in any way until now. We got two very good pieces of news, one bad piece that was a surprise and one that wasn't-so to me we are still in the positive. We have some great recruits coming to LNWR and I expect some very good news soon!
