2016 Recruiting Class: #25 Villanova Wildcats


by James Finneral

​After winning the national championship, the Villanova Wildcats are hoping their fresh talent can help them repeat. Villanova has two strong recruits that are coming in for this season.

Omari Spellman 6'9" PF: Spellman is one of the top big men in this year's recruiting class. He is very strong and can bully defenders in the post. Despite his large frame, Spellman is pretty quick on his feet. He has a nice arsenal of post moves and a knack for grabbing rebounds. Expect Spellman to have an instant impact on the Wildcat squad.

Dylan Painter 6'9" C:
Painter is a hard working big man that can run the floor. He is a presence on the defensive end with his shot blocking ability. Painter also has the ability to shoot from mid-range so he is a pretty versatile player.

Villanova needed more big men after losing Daniel Ochefu and now they got them.
