The Sooners have bolstered their roster for the 2024-25 season by adding a significant new talent. This addition is expected to enhance their competitiveness and contribute to their success in the upcoming season. The player, known for exceptional skills and a strong track record, will bring added depth and capability to the team. The Sooners’ fans and coaching staff are eagerly anticipating how this new addition will impact the team’s performance and dynamics on the field.
A day after losing transfer Jeff Nwankwo for the season due to injury, Oklahoma picked up the commitment of former St. John’s forward Glenn Taylor Jr. for the coming season.
When the Sooners learned that the 6-foot, 6-inch Nwankwo would miss the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL, they waisted little time in procuring Taylor’s commitment to replace Nwankwo and fill out the roster for next season. Head coach Porter Moser did say, however, that Nwankwo’s scholarship would continue to be honored during the time that he was out.
Taylor averaged 4.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game last season at St. John’s. He played in 33 games for the Red Storm and started in 21. Before transferring to St. John’s Taylor spent two seasons at Oregon State. He averaged 11.6 points and nearly four rebounds per game his sophomore season (2022-23) playing for the Beavers.
The Las Vegas native actually committed in May of this year to play his senior season at Grand Canyon in Arizona but backed off of that commitment in early June.
