Why was there an OT designation in front of his name, anyway. What does it mean? The OP started the thread before we started recruiting him, probably after watching one of his youtube videos.. He put OT because at the time there was no Hoya interest but the HL's were impressive

So no visits to his final four before he decides?

I hope it's us but everything reads SC. His AAU teammate Tevin Mack is there. He can play point there. I am sure they'll move Dozier over or have 2 points there. The thing is on the circuit was playing more of a facilitator role and was getting praise and criticism because he wasn't scoring as much. He seems to want to be a point. Defensively he would make us elite with all the length we have with his speed. He is an AI type gambler in the passing lanes. He does play decent on ball d as well.

But but a starting backcourt of Woods and Campbell is too short (read with sarcasm)

Strengths:
Woods' incredible athleticism is the basis for his game. He is absolutely explosive, able to rise above the rim like almost no other guard in high school basketball and throw down an assortment of incredible finishes. He's both quick off his feet as well as able to play at the top of the box while also possessing terrific body control, making him an extraordinary finisher for his size. His highlight reel athleticism has made him a YouTube sensation to this generation and also gives him the ability to make momentum changing plays during the course of a game. He's most effective in the open floor or any other time he's able to get a clear path to the rim. His ball skills are continuously improving. His stroke is now sound mechanically off both the catch or the dribble, he can utilize a shot-fake well in the half-court, and is also capable of threading the needle with some high level passes.
Weaknesses:
Woods is much more of an undersized two-guard than a point. It's not only the fact that he's a playmaker, and not distributor, but also that he lacks an ideal feel for the game and decision making ability. He can be guilty of valuing style over substance as a passer and can also get out of control when attempting to handle against pressure. While his shooting mechanics are improved, he's not a high percentage threat from behind the three-point line, and so he could still stand to polish all areas of his ball skills.
Bottom Line: He's always going to be capable of making the type of plays that no one else on the floor can accomplish, but ultimately he may be best served embracing the role of an undersized two-guard instead of trying to force what may be a very unnatural transition to the point.

Saying he should embrace being an undersized 2 only makes sense if his goal is to become an NCAA legend and nothing else.

The same probably could have been said of John Wall.

Reading this analysis it seems clear that Seventh would be best suited as a Hoya. IMO, all of his weaknesses would be address in a JTIII offense. He maybe considered an undersized SG at the moment but I'm sure in time working through the offense he will see the light. I think he has a better chance of improving his NBA stock as a Hoya playing the point.

I'm not too worried about UNC or Florida. So it's a two horse race. I'm pretty sure that UNC and Florida wouldn't be on the list if there weren't things about those schools that are attractive to Seventh, and I'm equally sure that Seventh was aware of the reasons not to go to those schools before he included them in his final four. He's kept people largely in the dark about his thoughts, other than to announce his final four, so I think the only conclusion that's fair to make, without projecting our own preferences, is that it's a four horse race.

I don't get the Wall one though. was also said of stephen curry - he was considered as 2 not 1 by being a scoring machine. He still is in the NBA, but at the same time, also one of the best PGs. And this Seventh's ceiling is SUPER high.

Want. He was one of the only guys hustling and playing defense during the game. As mentioned before, he seems to always be hunting for a steal, which is a good thing in my book.

also wonder how much more athletic he would have been if the injury had not happened.... but if the injury did not slow him down, he would be rated as a top 5 player in the class with Kentucky and duke all over him
