Omar Thielemans transferring to Wright State, per report

Former Arizona Wildcats commit Omar Thielemans is transferring to Wright State, according to Jeff Goodman of WatchStadium.

The freshman joined the Wildcats in the summer, but announced his intention to transfer before the start of the season, ending his UA career before it ever started. However, he did continue taking classes throughout the fall semester.

Thielemans was an obscure prospect when he committed to Arizona last spring, not found in any recruiting databases, but was eventually given a low four-star rating by major recruiting services.

Thielemans, a 6-foot-7 forward, filled a need for Arizona at the time because it desperately needed bodies.
