2016 Villanova Basketball Preview: Omari Spellman

Hometown: North Royalton, Ohio

High School: St. Thomas More (Conn.)

Height: 6'19"

Weight: 260

Omari Spellman, the crowned jewel of Villanova’s latest recruiting class, was expected to be a major contributer alongside Darryl Reynolds as Jay Wright searched for a replacement for Daniel Ochefu.

And then the NCAA railroaded Spellman just 6 weeks before the season was due to start after keeping him in limbo (causing him to sit out the Spanish exhibition games) for most of the summer.

And because I never got a chance to write about how dumb and incomprehensible this ruling was, I’m going to do that now.
