Ochefu Concussion

omari needs to shed some fat but he can definitely play 5 in college. they also have painter and delaney but omari will be the man next year.

If not Spellman, whose gonna play post for Villanova next year? It's him or no one. I hope he has some post game.

Nobody. Nova is going to struggle next yr, especially if hart goes pro.

The hope is that hart stays, is an all american, and nova runs a unique athletic forward driven attack. Booth and Brunson are capable ball handlers, and it will be up to reynolds and spellman to fill the paint, but the attack will come from hart, bridges and paschall, athletic forwards who are long on defense and can get to the rim, with some Jenkins spot up action as well.

It might work, but it is going to be a big change from this yr.

Is Hart a first round prospect?? The only first rounders I see currently are Dunn, Ellenson and maybe Bentil. I guess how they do in the tournament will affect that though...

No, I don't see hart as a first round prospect. He reminds me of where randy foye was in the 2005 season or Kerry kittles in 1995. Under the radar draft-wise, but if he entered he could probably get drafted. Especially if nova makes a good run this March. Dunn was sort of similar las yr too, as he wasn't considered a first round prospect by everybody last January.

Spellman is going to be good, and he will log the bulk of the minutes, but he is far from a finished product and won't be able to hold down the paint like the chef. Delany and Painter might be contributors some day, but more likely in 2019 and 2020 rather than 2017.

[BEhomer]

I doubt Hart leaves. I'm surprised to hear such pessimistic view from nova fan. I think nova just keeps rolling next year. especially if brunson stays (and it looks like he may have to). brunson, booth at point. hart, paschall on the wings. bridges jenkins at forwards. spellman/reynolds. and I also like divicenzo. he probably plays good amount if he was on any other team.

[NovaBall]

If it clicks for nova next yr, they could be very good. But they will take some hits while trying to figure it out.

Spellmen is 5 star big man he should be able to come in and play right away, Nova also has two other big men in Dylan Painter and Tim Deleany coming in next year. The best recruit will probably be the A10 freshmen of the year Eric Paschell being eligible after sitting out this year, really excited to see him as a power forward in Wright's system. Sure Nova losses Ochefu and Arch but they should return everyone else so they should be at least top 20.

[NovaBall]

Mouphtau Yarou and Jason Fraser were five star big men for nova who weren't able to have an immediate impact as freshmen. And they were both more highly touted than Spellman.

I like Spellman a lot. I'm not down on him. But I am realistic that he's not a super athlete and is more of an undersized bruiser, and usually guys like that take a couple of years to really contribute.

[NovaBall]

I'm really looking forward to seeing the three headed attack of paschal, hart and bridges. Jay has never had that type of length at his disposal in the past. All three have NBA potential. And the backcourt should be fine too. So hopefully we don't need a true big man next year.

See Ball is going full Lou Holtz on next years' Nova team. Hart ain't going anywhere and Spellman has the same body type as Jared Sullinger and Glen Davis both who did just fine in the low post in college.
