Better Know a Freshman: Villanova Wildcats forward Omari Spellman
Nova’s newest big man could help lead them back to the promised land.The rich get richer, or so they say.
Jay Wright’s Villanova Wildcats are the defending NCAA Champions and look primed to make a strong run in defense of their title on the backs of a glut of returning talent and the man you’re about to meet, Omari Spellman.
Spellman, who will henceforth be known as “Big Beefy,” checks in at a stout 6’9, 269 lbs. (Nice) and was the 19th-ranked recruit in the country in the 2016 cycle according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. The big man has trimmed down a bit in his senior year but carries his weight well.
