Villanova Wildcats head coach Jay Wright expects to have a final decision on Omari Spellman’s eligibility by the end of the month, per CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
Jay Wright told @CBSSports that Villanova should know something by the end of September regarding Omari Spellman's eligibility for 16-17.

At Villanova’s Summer Jam event in early August, Wright revealed that Spellman hadn’t been cleared by the NCAA, a problem which seems to date back to his first few semesters in high school.
Because the NCAA moves at a snail’s pace in cases like this annually, Spellman couldn’t play during Villanova’s exhibition tour in Spain.
