Oklahoma Basketball: 2022-23 season preview and outlook for Sooners

Key Reserves

Guard – Benny Schroeder (Freshman)

One of the game’s best young prospects from Germany, Schroeder committed to Oklahoma over a year ago and might be the hidden gem of Moser’s new class. He was a star over in FIBA and has the potential to develop into an impressive wing, with the talent and skills to score and be a rigorous defender.

Guard – Otega Oweh (Freshman)

A four-star prospect and among this past season’s top 100 recruits, Oweh is a tough young shooting guard who could develop into a scoring machine down the line for the Sooners. For now, he’ll play reserve minutes behind this new-look backcourt while biding his time.

Forward – Sam Godwin (Junior)

Godwin joins the Sooners after spending the last two seasons as a reserve center at Wofford. He’ll provide depth for this squad and will likely see reserve minutes as they figure out his role. He shot just under 64% from the field with the Terriers and could develop into an interior weapon.

Forward – Yaya Keita (Sophomore)

Another frontcourt transfer, Keita spent last season as a reserve at Missouri. The former 3-star prospect suffered a knee injury late last season, but he should be good to go, bringing physicality and potential to a bench full of young frontcourt pieces.

Guard – Milos Uzan (Freshman)

Uzan might just be the best piece of Moser’s freshman class. This talented point guard is a 4-star prospect who can score from all over the court and is very athletic. Even though he’s a bit undersized, Uzan looks impressive from what’s been seen at the high school level and will definitely be a starter for this team someday soon.

Guard – Bijan Cortes (Sophomore)

Last season, Cortes didn’t contribute much during his freshman season, but he looks like a potential piece in this backcourt if he can continue to develop. He averaged just 2.0 points and 1.4 assists last year and is destined more as a ball distributor than a scorer.

Guard – C. J. Noland (Sophomore)

Another underclassman guard that Moser expects to take a step forward, Noland was part of last year’s All-Freshman team in the Big 12. He made 43% of his 3-pointers and had decent numbers across the board in his limited opportunities; can he take that next step and contribute to this new look backcourt?

Forward – Luke Northweather (Freshman)

Adding a young 6’9 power forward is never a bad move, and Northweather put up some impressive numbers at the high school level in Missouri. It’s unlikely that he’ll feature prominently as a freshman, but he projects as a big with potential, especially with more minutes available in the frontcourt next year.
