Guess we shouldn't be surprised that Seven McGee is potentially hitting the transfer portal after missing last week's game.

Seven replied to that tweet saying “who said this?” Implying this is a false rumor.

I think he's spent the past few days waffling back and forth about transferring, so who knows where he stands at this point. Hopefully he doesn't get impatient and sees the potential he could have in this offense down the line, but I've also reached a point where I don't think it's the end of the world if he ends up transferring. They have plenty of depth at WR with more talent coming in.

I get why someone would have the idea he is transferring based on some of the stuff he put on social media this weekend. I sense he is a bit immature when it comes to some of this stuff and I get that. He's young and has had some difficulties including losing his father last year so this may be the result of feeling some uncertainty.
Hope he gets the guidance and support he needs. He seems like a good kid. He's also a long way from home so there's that factor too.

Crepea now reporting that he is no longer with the program as of 12:53 PM today.

From a talent perspective, I'd put it in the "fine" category. He's young and will get better, and has a good ceiling (I think), so it would be nice for him to stick it out. He's also not a program-altering talent, so I don't think it changes the ceiling for the program unless they struggle to replace Kris Hutson when he graduates.
I'm more bummed for the kid. He's bounced around between New York, California, and Oregon. Though I don't know his exact personal circumstances, having a place to grow roots usually helps you develop more as a person and bouncing around.

The more we see of Mario’s classes, the more I’m convinced he went after kids based on their star rating, and less by evaluating them based on what they did on the field. Good luck to the kid. When Ott dropped in the rankings, we suddenly stopped recruiting him and then encouraged him to look elsewhere.

The word is he lost his father last year.

He often talked about star ratings and recruiting services class rankings. Winning the conference class ranking seemed important to him, so yes he was star conscious.

Very disappointing end to his time at Oregon. It certainly felt weird when Nix was chewing him out, makes me wonder if there were attitude or worth ethic issues. Hopefully he finds a good fit and can shine somewhere else, unless he goes to Washington.

Skill and potential are there. They just never quite came together. I think he can do it big somewhere else. Like OF4L implied, hope he doesn't end up in the Pac.

He played too many games to redshirt; why not just finish out the season? The team is winning and has an outside shot at the playoff, why not have fun with your teammates?

Some rumors that he may end up closer to him like at Syracuse.

Honestly, that would be a great option. Even though their offense is rank ass this year, Dino Babers is a good offensive mind, and I don't think it would be too hard for McGee to see the field.
