In one of the most entertaining off-season shakeups in college basketball, the Oklahoma Sooners have pulled off a double play that’s making headlines and raising eyebrows—hiring assistant coach Justin Scott while also securing a surprise addition to the roster: his talented stepson, Xzayvier Brown.
It’s a family package deal, and fans aren’t mad at it.
Scott, who brings a wealth of experience from his time at Saint Joseph’s and previously under coach Billy Lange, joins the Sooners staff with a strong player development resume. But this isn’t just about clipboards and whiteboards—it’s about chemistry, loyalty, and buckets. His stepson, Xzayvier Brown, is a former four-star recruit and standout freshman guard who averaged 11.3 points and 3.3 assists per game last season. The kid’s got handles, vision, and a three-point shot that could ice a soda.
Brown announced his transfer to OU shortly after Scott’s hire, sending social media into a mild frenzy. Coincidence? Nope. It’s strategic recruiting with a personal twist, and it’s a move that could give Oklahoma a crucial edge in a loaded SEC landscape.
Head coach Porter Moser welcomed both with open arms, emphasizing that building a winning culture often starts with trust—and who better to bring that than a coach-player duo already built on family ties?
“Xzayvier is a fierce competitor and a proven playmaker,” said Moser. “And Coach Scott? He’s one of the most detail-oriented and passionate leaders in the game. Together, they bring a unique fire to this program.”
The buzz around Norman is real. Some are calling it “step-sonics,” others just calling it a major win for the Sooners. Either way, it’s clear that Oklahoma isn’t just adding pieces—they’re building momentum.
So buckle up, Sooner Nation. The Scott-Brown duo is ready to bring more than just plays—they’re bringing family values, fast breaks, and a whole lot of flavor to Lloyd Noble Center this season.
Because sometimes, the best transfers come with house keys and dinner table chemistry
