He Was The Best 14 Year Old In The Country! What Happened To SEVENTH WOODS? Stunted Growth

- So many things has to happen and work well together to make it to the NBA. Of the most important, timing along with the right person, one that’s able to deal with the expectations and the pressure that comes along with having your name mentioned among the best ammeters are factors that don’t come by too often. Today’s feature Seventh Woods may have been the biggest victim of these two things, along with the reasons we’ll speak about today, that took him from being called the best 14 year old in the country, signing to a top 3 college program in North Carolina, winning a national championship as a freshman, to drastically underachieving in 3 years there, transferring to a smaller school in South Carolina, underperforming there as well and transferring once again to a low level Morgan State for a graduate year of basketball and his 6th spent in college and none of them suggest he has a future in the league and slight chance of even having an extended career overseas. For these reasons he’s far left behind his class and a dark spot for any high school player aspiring to be a CZcams sensation. He Was The Best 14 Year Old In The Country!

What do you think the future holds for Seventh Woods?
Titto.maddox or Wesley strokes or Kacey Jacobson or Trayvon Bryant or Derek and Eric the Bishop Lamont twins or Evan ? that went to Fairfax or POOH that went to Serra
I grew up near him. He was a BEAST at Hammond! He used to play at my old High School, (Richland Northeast) Saw him play plenty of times. You gave great content on him. FACTS!
Not to mention, Hammond is a Private School. I'm sure you realize that Stunted, but I had to put it out there. FACTS!!!
JC didn't you do this one before?
Thanks again for the Shout out Stunted! Still waiting on your Stunted growth on Malcolm Delaney. He was a BEAST at Virginia Tech.
Just a kid who physically matured young and stopped growing...the world just caught up. Good dude
Naw, just allowed his athleticism to carry him through hs and never worked on his overall game. Should of been working on his handles, vision, jumper etc. learning how to be a pg
@@yepyep5498 Turner kind of right my first reaction when I saw this guy back in 2013 was no way is he 14 years old
his athleticism was above average but never freak of nature level.
@@yepyep5498 I actually know him. And watched him grow. Before and after the videos. Yes his athleticism was a huge part but his basketball IQ was high as well. I knew his trainers and been in his workouts. Honestly, I believe it was the mental that got to him, because he put in the work. And, College just took his confidence from him.
@@dominiquecarroll5817 should of been groomed into a athletic point guard, especially since he was only 6’2. I had the same problem years before this. Every hs coach will play you at the two since you can score and jump out the gym and you never really mastered the pg position
@@yepyep5498 Agreed. But his Basketball IQ is high (it's more evident on the defensive end). However, as you said, he should have been groomed to master the PG. Real PGs are rare in today's game. He won't make the league, but he got his degree and playing overseas, last time I talked to his family.
I can see something similar happening to Mikey Williams, but millions of social media fans will keep the bags coming to him regardless. For Seventh, being able to get two degrees for free playing a sport sounds like a win to me.
Yeah I don't see it with Mikey to me he looks like an undersized 2 that isn't gonna score well enough at higher levels to justify how much he needs the ball
Those bags will dry up once his price doesn't match his game level. He will be over priced for any small business.
Who Mikey williams bro
So my question with Mikey has always been: why is he so popular? His social media feed appears to be him posing in front of cars. Like, what is the draw?
And an anecdote, friend of mine was on a photoshoot Mikey did for Puma and said the kid's knees are shot. He was limited as to what he could do on the shoot because his knees were so bad.
@@CM-ft9ep I just learned bout this.guy minutes. Ago.. and im 100% certain he'll be a Bust.
How many times do we hear stories about childhood phenoms not making it?
These guys be burned out by the time they hit their senior in high school. Too much of anything can be a detriment to your life. And never adjusting your playing style from your high school years will hurt you too.
Big facts it's may b why guys like dame Lillard and ja Morant made it not having all those high accolades and media attention can build hunger in guys with the right mindset and guys will work harder to get better also having all those eyes and pressure on you I think can definitely take a toll when your so young whereas by the time dame and ja got that spotlight they were already grown and better prepared mentally for it
That's why LeBron to me is so legendary people like to discredit him but this guy had the expectations of the world on his shoulders and still arguably exceeded those expectations
@Jamal this gets repeated so much and I don't get it. LeBron has been a celebrity since he was like 16. Everyone knew he was going to the NBA and a large portion of people were saying he'd challenge Mike's GOAT status... He's not the GOAT and it's a big gap between Mike, so no he didn't exceed expectations at all.
@@YellowHaile You don't understand what I'm saying the Top comment was about how pressure is the worst thing for young upcoming prospects and they usually flame out because of it but in comparison to Lebron who as you said was from the age of 16 given all the pressure in the world he still prospered. And he absolutely exceeded expectations he is easily a top 3 player in the history of the league. superstar potential is what he was said to possess coming into the league for comparison KD was also given that same expectation but LeBron exceeded even that to the point where there's no argument that he isn't at least a top 3 player ever
@@jamalwalker if he's been told he'd be the best player ever and he ended up not being that, he didn't "exceed" expectations. He met them, which is still great, I'm not knocking him. But we still have to be honest, he's not the GOAT. Everything he's done, was expected of him, that doesn't mean he doesn't get props because as you said, a lot of them flame out.
Over time you could see he even lost explosiveness, not sure if he got injured or what. I didnt keep up with his career that much but damn man. Thats a HUGE drop off in productio
Before the Zion phenomenon in SC it was seventh woods and I wanted him to make it bad but honestly I think to much pressure was put on that young man. When you’re the best thing coming out the city you feel like there’s no other option but success.
Man this guy I still remember the day when bro hit the net this was right in the middle of the golden age of bball mixtapes at this time everybody was Poppin ballislife, hoopmixtape l, home team hoops even the regional and local and smaller channels was crackin elite mixtape, yay area's finest, city league hoops etc and then came this dude and when that first hoop mixtape hit the net NIGGA you couldn't tell dudes bro wasn't next up unfortunate to see his career not go to well afterwards but that's how the game goes sometimes
I really liked Seventh Woods. Always seemed humble and had the right attitude on the court. Also seemed like he was a hard worker and played scrappy defense. I guess the mental toll really got to him tryna live up to the hype and his grandmother dying during his junior year didn’t help either. With his stock dying down as a HS upperclassman, he must’ve had the wrong people in his ear telling him to go to UNC… terrible decision in hindsight.
I wish more kids would look more in to mid majors and stop trying to ride the coat tails of a big school.
@@Goofbirdent if you’re tryna raise your draft stock, that’s not wise for a very large chunk of prospects. Not everyone can be Ja. I can understand if people know for a fact they don’t have a future in the league/ the future they or others thought they at one point might, or at least are gonna go overseas for a while first, but the better the school rep, the more money involved, and the more hype surrounding the names potentially going into the draft. We don’t find out almost until too late that a lot of these guys ain’t good enough for the NBA
Didn’t matter where he played.. even 6 years later at Morgan state dude was STILL putting up pedestrian numbers
@@pistolpete3199 because his growth was stunted, that is where this entire series is about my man.
UNC seemed right based on the hype he was getting. He should've knew better himself. You gotta really play BASKETBALL. And seventh was just putting on a show . Can't put on a show at that level you gotta really have skills and his athleticism overshadowed his skills. He didn't have true point guard skills and he couldn't shoot well
We need a Stunted Growth for Perry Jones, his potential was through the roof.
Ong I thought perry was gonna be a stud
Perry Jones got on that OKC team and got lazy af
Crazy moat guys from 2012 - 15 ESPN class we thought would be good in the league just never panned out
@@rata_laadat that’s round time social media started blowing up and that was a whole other mount of hype and stardom guys was getting that nobody knew how to handle
Had every tool in the box too
6 years in college is crazy. The competition always seems to close the gap on young phenoms that peaked at a young age
That’s why I’m glad bronny was never touted as the best player in his class. He’s just been grinding getting better every year and earning it.
I didn't know you play college sports for 6 years.
@@carboy101 It's only supposed to be four or 5 max if you red shirt. i didnt know 6 was possible
@@RainSupreme I think that covid year granted them an additional year
@@AlphaDwg under appreciated
Imma be real with you, going to NC was the worst thing he could do. DSJ was the man at NC State and became a top pick in the draft. He should’ve done the same at another small school like him. NC state isn’t a one and done place at all
THE MUTHAFUCKIN GUY, how u doin fam I be on yo channels a bunch
@@johndavis9321 why thank you 💪🏾. I am doing great 🔥
problem with Seventh Woods..he can't shoot for shit...DSJ was shooting allmost 5 threes in college on 36 procent...looks like woods had crazy athletic abilities at very young age,and forgot to work on basketball skills...just used his athletic abilities to dominate competition..
@@enjoylife1239 sometimes that’s how it is, which is sad 😢
I think you nailed it, the hype around the video made him complacent and didn’t think it was necessary to work on his holes.
This is the problem with basketball now. Hyping up kids so young they can easily leave focus
Yeah, but also, the incentive to grow your game when you're physically dominant just isn't there. If you're busting every kid you play with your physical gifts why would you work on your jumper?
One of my recruits played with him at Morgan State n he was a shell of himself. Same as Sharone Wright Jr. A good stunted growth feature.
Such a good video, I remember watching that Mixtape and thinking he was gonna be a bonafide star.
Thanks JC Stunted Growth, I enjoy watching your content as a basketball fan. Keep it 💯 bro!
People think the NBA is a whole different level...and it is, but so is D1. How many guys do you hoop with on the regular that plays or played at a D1 school? You can be athletic and dominate in high school but just about everybody on that level of college basketball was a star in whatever town they came from. Im not sure if Woods lost confidence or what, but you speak facts. I'm not sure he would have put up numbers at a smaller D1 as a freshman though if he only averaged 5 ppg at Morgan State after 5 years in college
Was just thinking about when you were going to do Seventh yesterday. Great timing!
The third stunt is Woods' biggest stunt. He wasn't PG nor was he a 2 guard. This made it difficult for him to get minutes.
Im happy you did this one
Would love to see you do one on Mark "Cheeks" Lyons. That fight altered his life for ever. Love what you do man, always enjoy the videos!
Been waiting on this one 🔥
This is too sad to watch. That mixtape was unreal. For him to be here is beyond heartbreaking. He was SUPER HARD at 14…..super
Great video
If you would’ve told me both Seventh Woods and Dennis Smith jr would be out the league and have stunted growth, I wouldn’t have believed it.
Dennis is still in the League.
for now
Dominic Artis!!! If you haven’t done one on him already! Love your content bro!!!
Great video as usual. Please do CJ Leslie from NC State next. Thanks.
Definitely.
That mixtape is still to this day, the best mixtape ever!!
Been wanting to see you do Seventh. I lived in Charlotte when he was in high school. He had all the athletic ability, but his height worried me.
Still my favorite Mix tape!!!
Idk if you've done one on him, but I was thinking about Gabe York. Dude was a beast in high school whose talent got wasted at Arizona. Double salute to Stunted Growth!!!
The best hoopmixtape video ever
This one made me very sad. Cuz he was the most advanced 14 year old I’d ever seen and it was like the rest of the basketball world just caught up to him.
Dude looked like a 18-19 yr old standing next to Dennis 😂
I’d love to hear your thoughts on David Lee. I don’t know if he was stunted per se, but it seemed like one moment he was an all star in NYK the next he was gone.
Nice video. Have you done one about Mark Macon?
This was one of the cases I was dead wrong about. He looked like he was made for the NBA. Couldn't believe how much he fell off at UNC.
Best freshman mixtape I've ever seen
Great video, I keep waiting for him to pop up in the G- League or on a ten day in the league.( Greg the Wizard Jones).
If you do seventh woods you gotta do Corey sanders next💯 they were compared all the time in high school both electric flashy guards and the fact they’re both not in the NBA is nuts honestly
NBA players are very very very good
Corey Sanders was never an NBA type of player....
He had some potential but I saw his celling being a spark off the bench, 6th man type. Never was gonna be a star.
Do a video on Benny Anders! Played for UofH during the Phi Slama Jama days
he reached his prime at 14 its been down hill ever since
I saw him play In Augusta during his sophomore season I believe. He was playing injured that game, but I could still tell he was very athletic when he did have the ball. Outside of that he honestly didn't impress me that much outside of his athleticism. Still surprised that he ended up being that much of a bust in college
I had a coworker mention him years ago so I looked him up. He was impressive but I saw a player that overly relied on his superior athleticism but lacked in skillet such as shooting and ball handling. I also was surprised he picked UNC especially under Williams...who made me growing up not liking Kansas because I feel his system doesn't prepare kids for the NBA.
You got to do one on my guy Corey Fisher!!
To add to it because I’m from the city I feel like his team should’ve made sure he was going to start where ever he went because I know every school wanted him and he needed to be the featured guard.
Man this video hit home to me coming from Charleston,sc Seventh woods was a god man but Not leaving after winning that chip with UNC is the reason why he fell off Tbh
When I tell you this name literally crossed my mind a few days ago. Nice piece… now do lephonso Ellis or shareef abdur rahim
I would like to see a Stunted Growth on Khalil Felder. That boy was nice. Another Michigan product you could do is Shawn Respert. That boy was straight buckets at Michigan State in the 90s.
First mixtape I seen was this dude
This dude had major potential!
Do one on Calvin Brock who went to Simeon High School and University of Illinois and was the number one player in the country. And the next year after he graduated as a senior Derrick Rose started for Simeon High School
Please do Ronnie Feilds from Chicago, Kevin Garnett's old high school running mate. Straight beast, if you know you know 💯
He lost his grandfather or grandmother if I'm not mistaken in a family fire...he wasn't the same person or player after that incident.
Stop It
Did his jump shot get lost in that fire, too?
If it affected him that much Ho would’ve stopped playing altogether
That name is fire
Can you do a video on Marshon Brooks, thought he’s was going to be something special
You can throw Felipe Lopez in that conversation...as among the biggest college busts of all-time as well
Seventh, Dennis, Ryan Harrow, Gabe York, Deuce Bello etc so many guards with that flashy game that weren’t NBA material smh those hoop mixtapes killed them.
Kinda reminds me of Malik Newman from Mississippi he had a chance to go to MSU but chose Kansas
I came here after the Bruce brown comments lollll
Seventh was my era’s Ray Felton at the high school level as far as hype and potential
Did u ever do John Wallace?
I hope he makes good money 🧧 playing outside of the US because he is kind of perfect for an import role in a small country.
I remember being called a hater because I said this dude was all hype and no bite I’m from South Carolina and seen him play often he was a season player not a reason player
Been asking about homie him and Dennis Smith Jr
U gotta do pj hairston one day. And will graves.
you was spot i always thought unc was a mistake just watching him play in high school he simply never got better
I love your channel, but this one was a specifically good video. I am a UNC fan, and agree wholeheartedly that he never should have gone there....He would've been better off at a lower D1 school. Also, it didn't seem like he developed much in high school - yes, he was explosive and athletic as hell, but you need more than that if you're gonna make the league as a guard. You hit the nail on the head in saying that those hype mixes REALLY hurt him. It was the perfect storm, because at that time, there weren't nearly as many ballislife type videos for high schoolers, so when his dropped, everyone was like "whoaaaaa....." and he had to live up to all of those expectations. It made me nervous when his ranking began to drop. He was like top 20 as a sophomore and then plummeted his junior and senior year, which definitely caught my attention. Seems like a good young man, but sadly, he was overhyped, and it's wild how that one video of him as a 14 year old helped derail what should've been a great career.
The best 9th grade mixtape of all time. Had everybody believing he was NEXT up lol
crazy how long he played college ball
He plays in Ireland now for a team called UCC Demons.
Yeah he was a dawg in high school fasho
As a unc fan I soooooo wanted seventh woods to ball out in chapel hill the boy just cudnt get right
At least he's playing overseas but definitely a stunted growth has to be CZcams celebrity status at an early age.
I always wondered what happened to him.
He got the fame too young and thought it was going to be easy, so he never put in any work. Talking about pressure. I would be ashamed of myself having to go lower and lower in competition. I mean look at his jumpshot. Theres no way he takes this seriously.
We need a stunted growth on Jarrett Culver and Kevin Knox .
For most of these basketball “prodigies”, it seems to simply be a case of peaking earlier than your colleagues and not doing the extra work necessary to stand out once they catch up
Social Media is what killed his career. Too much spotlight and hype to point not much room for era. Can’t imagine what that’s like mentally
Man!! As a Carolina fan, I was so disappointed in Seventh!
Yeap I asked for him salute!
Would’ve been an amazing Free Safety
Nah going from UNC to Morgan st & only averaging 5 a game is wild. D3 might shoulda been Seventh route lol
BRO DO MARTELL WEBSTER!!!
do frank ntilikina
even if mikey fails to make the nba, he can easily be a youtuber
Dudes like him thinks they athleticism and some handles will take them to the next level while tryna be on a professional level these types of players NEVER WANNA PLAY defense NEVER WANNA find ways to help impact the game besides tryna score all the damn time he’s not the first nor the last to blow it because they refuse to learn how to impact the game without scoring.
He been in college this whole time thought he was overseas
Frank Kaminsky and Derrick Favors
Aquille Carr I think is the name
I'm sure he can play in a lower A league or a B league in Europe
Outside of Shea Cotton and James'On Curry Idk if I've ever seen a better 14 yr old than Seventh Woods
lets not forget jayshaun agosto 13 year old next mj
He was 6"2 at 14, and stopped growing
Serious bounce
This is why I hate seeing these 7th graders with a highlight tape on CZcams. You never know how they will adjust mentally. If you’re not strong mentally it’s gonna hurt you. As we see with him. He just couldn’t take the pressure. He should’ve concentrated more on being a PG and getting others involved he would’ve been better off
We need a James Michael mcadoo video
Do you want on Wayne Turner
He bought into the hype and found out the house wasn't built on a solid foundation 😔
Please doe Malik Newman or Isaiah Briscoe next
If you are a top ranked prospect you can't turn down a blue chip school coming out of high school. If Woods would have turned down UNC, it would look like he was a bust or not confident enough to live up to expectations.
If he was being recruited by schools like UNC, he pretty much could've went anywhere in the country.
@@YellowHaile Going to another school is one thing but going to a smaller school like JC suggested would have had scouts questioning his talent/abilities.
He was looking promising.
Do you know if life was crazy outside the gym?
