After a prolonged flirtation with rumors swirling that Painter was holding out for a ‘Nova offer, he got what he wanted and committed to Villanova in mid-September.
What may have been a curious recruitment at the time with Omari Spellman already committed, it now looks like a shrewd move with Spellman sitting out this season. While Painter won’t be as ready to contribute immediately as Spellman would have been, he provides a good backup option to Darryl Reynolds inside when the ‘Cats need more size.
