Oklahoma Sooners have made their first successful transfer of the cycle, landing 6-foot-2 guard Kobe Elvis, who spent the last three seasons at Dayton after transferring from DePaul. Elvis averaged 9.4 points per game and shot 37% from three last year, bringing experience from playing 105 games, starting 84 of them. Although not a game-changer, his veteran leadership could be valuable as the team works towards a successful NCAA Tournament bid.

By the Numbers
  • Kobe Elvis averaged 9.4 points per game last year
  • He shot 37% from three-point range
  • Elvis has played in 105 games and started 84 of them
Yes, But

There are concerns that Elvis may not be a star player that the team needs and that his impact may depend on pairing him with other sought-after players.

State of Play
  • Oklahoma has been actively recruiting to replace key players from last year's team
  • The team's success in the NCAA Tournament remains uncertain
What's Next

The team needs to continue recruiting to fill the gaps from key player departures and aim for a successful NCAA Tournament bid.

Bottom Line

Oklahoma's addition of Kobe Elvis brings experience and solid leadership, although the team's success may hinge on further recruitment efforts to complement this move.
