Villanova the Favorite for 2026 Four-Star, Top 100 Recruit

Villanova Men’s Basketball doesn’t yet have a commitment in the class of 2026, but that could change in the coming weeks. 247Sports now sees four-star wing Adam Oumiddoch, the No. 54 player on the ESPN Top 100, as most likely to commit to the Wildcats, issuing their “crystal ball” prediction for him.

Oumiddoch initially committed to St. John’s but backed out of that agreement on Feb. 10; Villanova made his initial top five.

He stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 180 pounds and attends Atlanta’s Overtime Elite basketball prep academy, posting 28.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this season while knocking down 38.6 percent of three-point shots.

A raw volume scorer — Oumiddoch averaged 18.5 shots per game during the regular season — he could stand to add some bulk. Right now, Oumiddoch fits better as a two-guard instead of his typically listed small forward. Even so, playing against the level of skill at Overtime Elite should give him a better idea of what it takes to succeed at the next level.
