Arizona Basketball: SF Omar Thielemans finds home at Wright State University

Former Arizona Wildcat commit out of Belgium, Omar Thielemans, has informed ZonaZealots he has officially transferred to Wright State University out of Dayton, OH.

Omar was a surprise commit for the 2019 class. The small forward out of Belgium wasn’t on anyone’s radar until news spread he was on campus. Shortly after being on campus, Omar announced his decision to commit to the University of Arizona.

The Wildcats were feeling the effects of the FBI probe and were losing recruits as fast as they were collecting them. So getting a 6-foot-8 wing player was a high priority and Omar seemed to fit the need.
