Oklahoma Sooners add top transfer Xzayvier Brown from St. Joe's

Oklahoma Sooners basketball has made a significant addition by landing St. Joseph's standout guard Xzayvier Brown through the transfer portal, alongside his stepfather Justin Scott joining the coaching staff. Brown, rated as the No. 33 transfer nationally and one of the top available point guards, averaged 17.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.3 assists last season while earning First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors. He is praised for his efficient playmaking, strong scoring ability, and experience handling heavy minutes with low turnover rates. Brown cited the opportunity to play for Coach Porter Moser, the challenge of SEC competition, and the program's up-tempo, spacing-oriented offense as major factors in his decision. His arrival bolsters a retooled Sooner roster, joining other high-profile transfers and incoming freshmen, and is expected to form a dynamic backcourt partnership with Miami transfer Nijel Pack. This move is seen as addressing key needs for Oklahoma as they look to build on recent success and compete at a high level next season.
