I'm guessing he misses St. John's, Creighton, @PC.

How good is his backup?

There is no back up.

Reynolds is not a center. He's a forward with no perimeter skills so he plays in the paint. He's not very good either.

This will actually be a good preview of what to expect next yr from the cats. Minus arch but plus paschall.

Omari Spellman arrives next year too.

Timing might be good, missing SJU and Creighton probably wont matter with the way Creighton is playing lately.

Omari spellman is not a true center like the chef. he is a 6-8 power forward.

6'9" 287 power forward? I doubt it. That's a center in college.

Sorry, but I don't think a 19 yr old Omari spellman is capable of being a legitimate college center next year. He will be fine against small teams out of conference, but he is not a true post player come tourney time.

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.
