NCAA Basketball: The long journey for Seventh Woods to Morgan State

What does the future hold for Woods?

Frankly, I could go on and on about how Woods’ collegiate career has been a major disappointment thus far, but the fact of the matter is, Woods still has one final year of eligibility remaining and isn’t finished trying to salvage his disastrous collegiate career. Sometimes, a player simply needs to step away from power 5 basketball in order to get themselves together.

I understand that the competition isn’t overly fierce at the low major level, but dominating in a conference like the MEAC should remind Woods that he is still a talented basketball player. You may try to claim that Woods would be better off getting his professional career started overseas or possibly in the G-league, but would you be okay with ending your collegiate career on a sour note? Probably not, which is why it is important for you to put yourselves in Woods’ shoes and keep in mind that a big-time season at Morgan State could be an enormous confidence booster for the 6’2” guard.

Most people have counted Woods out at this stage of his career, and that could turn out to be all the motivation he needs to go and silence all of his doubters. Hopefully, Woods ends up being a high impact player for Kevin Broadus and the Bears this upcoming season, but I will always feel the need to ponder what Woods’ career could have been if he had put on a South Carolina jersey for the first time in 2016 as opposed to 2020.
