NCAA Basketball: Analyzing the final 4 teams for Rutgers transfer Cam Spencer
Oklahoma Sooners
After finishing last in the Big 12 this past season, Coach Porter Moser and the program have one more year in the league before heading to the SEC. But if the team finishes last yet, he might not even make it to the new conference. That’s why the program added five transfers, including most recently, forward Jalon Moore from Georgia Tech.
Without leading scorer Grant Sherfield, the Sooners added a trio of impact transfers in the backcourt. Rivaldo Soares averaged 7.2 ppg at Oregon and shot 25% from deep. Le’Tre Darthard averaged 13.8 ppg on 36% three-point shooting at Utah Valley and was on the all-defensive team. And the big name of the group is Javian McCollum, who produced 15.9 ppg and 3.9 apg as a sophomore at Siena, while also shooting 36% from deep.
There’s also returning guard Milos Uzan, who plays more point. And top-40 incoming guard Kaden Cooper is expected to have a large role as a freshman in the rotation. That being said, Spencer would 100% be a starter and would give Oklahoma a much-needed three-point shooting boost.
Next to Pitt transfer John Hugley, Spencer can be the leading option on offense. The concern here is that the Sooners are the least likely to win compared to the other three options and there might be a sizeable gap in that. If the potential to win matters, it’s hard to see Oklahoma having much of a shot.
