The decision by the NCAA to declare Villanova freshman Omari Spellman academically ineligible for the 2016-17 season was one that made many scratch their heads, and others to show their support for the 6’9” five-star recruit.

More NCAA nonsense. Spellman, a GREAT kid, is a fully eligible student. Who cares when he "started" high school?! A good student! Lame. https://t.co/DiWraQTDvR

Wrap your head around this...Spellman starts HS "too early," NCAA holds him out a year, gives him 4 more years to stay in college LONGER?
