There is indeed a version for Centos 7 on one of his sites, but it took 
me a while to find it.  For future reference, was able to install it 
with:

cd /tmp
#this download link was really slow, not sure why
wget 
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/loveshack/SGE/epel-7-x86_64/00756477-gridengine/gridengine-8.1.9-2.el7.x86_64.rpm
