Just when you thought the transfer portal couldn’t get any wilder, the Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball team dropped a triple bombshell that’s shaking up the offseason. Head Coach Porter Moser and his staff have pulled off a masterclass, reeling in three high-profile transfers from some of the biggest programs in the country: Nijel Pack (Miami), Tae Davis (Notre Dame), and Xzayvier Brown (Saint Joseph’s).
Each name brings its own fireworks. Nijel Pack, once a star guard at Kansas State and more recently a major piece in Miami’s Final Four run, brings scoring, experience, and deep-range sniping. The guy doesn’t just shoot threes—he throws daggers. His veteran leadership could be the glue that holds the Sooners’ evolving backcourt together.
Tae Davis, a 6’9” forward with serious bounce and defensive versatility, adds length and hustle to OU’s frontcourt. Coming off a solid campaign at Notre Dame, Davis is ready for a bigger stage and has made it clear—he’s hungry for wins and minutes.
And then there’s Xzayvier Brown, a rising sophomore who turned heads at Saint Joseph’s. He’s quick, gritty, and fearless—the kind of under-the-radar pickup that turns into a breakout star in March. Oh, and fun fact: his stepdad is new assistant coach Justin Scott. Looks like the Sooners are building not just a roster, but a family.
The announcement had social media buzzing. One fan posted, “Porter Moser just hit a portal hat trick. Somebody check his recruiting badge—it’s glowing!” And honestly, they’re not wrong. With these additions, Oklahoma has quietly become one of the most intriguing squads heading into the 2025 season.
The roster just got deeper, faster, and a whole lot more dangerous. The SEC better buckle up, because if this trio clicks, OU could go from mid-tier menace to serious contender.
As one commenter put it, “The Sooners aren’t rebuilding—they’re reloading. And the new ammo’s got range.”
