From his Instagram post:

My experience in college has by far. more than anything else in my life, shaped me into the young man I am today. I have met friends that I will cherish forever. Villanova University is a very special place, and it holds an even more special place in my heart. And to my teamma- no to my brothers I will love you guys forever. Coach Wright has helped me mature as a man along with some of the best coaches in the country Kyle Neptune, Ashley Howard, George Halcovage, and Mike Nardi. I will forever appreciate everything done for me. To the Nova Nation, thank you for the support and love I have received as a member of the family and community, that is something that I will cherish forever and I know Villanova is a place I can always call home. And last, but probably the most important to me, is my mother away from home, Arleshia Davidson. We share a love and bond that will never be broken.
In saying this, I would like to announce that I will forgo my final three years of college eligibility and remain in the NBA Draft!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING NOVA NATION!!!

NBADraft.net currently has Spellman going 26th overall to the Sixers:

Of course, they could also take Donte DiVincenzo or Jalen Brunson to go along with Mikal Bridges in couping two of the four first round draft picks from Villanova.

What a pleasant surprise last night– turning on the Phillies game and immediately being greeted by the two-time National Champion and his dog. And what a GOOD DOG it is. Behold, love at work:

That dog’s never leaving for the NBA.

Side note: The Phillies had a bark at the park on Friday of Memorial Day Weekend? Aren’t these things usually reserved for Tuesday games April? That’s kind of sad we, as fans, aren’t filling the ballpark right now, because this team is actually fun to watch.

Me, on March 17:

As noted previously, I was laughed at, scorned, mocked and derided for my superior take. Russ told me I was being ridiculous.

Villanova, today:

Donte DiVincenzo Will Enter the 2018 NBA Draft Process But Will Not Hire An Agent.

Gulp. If DiVincenzo and Omari Spellman leave, there’s a real possibility Villanova will only be a top 10 team next year. I’m not even sure how to deal with this.

I wrote at length about DiVincenzo’s draft prospects earlier this month. My guess is he comes back for another year. He would be able to play himself into a high first round pick and be a candidate for All-American.

That said, NBADraft.net currently has four Villanova players going in the first round:

That is astounding. Omari Spellman would be the perfect, er, spell for Embiid, too, seeing as though he can step outside and hit the three. Regardless, this is early days and it’s quite possible that both Spellman and DiVincenzo return for another season and National Championship, but this is quite the list.
