After a season in which Oklahoma basketball was in a transitional period, head coach Porter Moser added to his roster some talented transfer portal additions. The Sooners are coming off of a 19-16 season and an NIT Tournament appearance.
Moser returns second-leading scorer Tanner Groves, who he acquired in the portal last offseason. Jalen Hill and Jacob Groves are other notable rotation layers returning to the Sooners for the 2022-23 season.
