Oklahoma Sooners land Xzayvier Brown out of transfer portal
Porter Moser landed one of his biggest targets on Monday night. He's done a great job this offseason retooling the roster.
Former St. Joseph's guard Xzayvier Brown officially committed to play for the Oklahoma Sooners on Monday. He had been expected to choose OU as his destination after reports surfaced that Moser was set to hire Brown's stepfather, Justin Scott, as an assistant coach.
Brown helped St. Joe's to back-to-back NIT appearances in his first two collegiate seasons. He was named Atlantic-10 Freshman of the Year two seasons ago, averaging 12.7 points per game and shooting 40% from 3-point range. He followed that up with a 17.6 points-per-game average, along with five rebounds per game in 2024-2025.
Brown is the third player Oklahoma has picked up via the transfer portal this offseason and the highest-rated. He was ranked the No. 33 player available, and he joins previous OU commits Tae Davis, a forward from Notre Dame, and Nijel Pack, most recently of Miami (FL), who previously played at Kansas State. Davis was ranked No. 64 In the portal class, Pack ranked No. 39.
Moser still has four scholarship spots left to fill on next year's roster. That transfer portal trio will join a freshman class that includes a pair of four-star recruits in forward Alec Blair, the No. 59 player in the nation, and center Kai Rogers, the No. 97 player. The Sooners also signed center Andreas Holst, a 6-foot-11 center from Denmark.
Brown will have two years of collegiate eligibility remaining.

Should the Boston Celtics consider trading Jaylen Brown this summer?
Should the Boston Celtics consider trading Jaylen Brown this summer? The Boston Celtics are expected to make some big changes this summer. As currently constructed, the roster is estimated to cost $500 million next season, once luxury taxes are accounted for. As such, it makes sense that Brad Stevens will want to make some changes, especially as the rotation is getting older and the team isn't expected to be a contender next season. Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and Sam Hauser are seen as the most logical trade candidates for Boston. However, Stevens may need to include Jaylen Brown in the negotiations if he opts to make a bigger change. However, that is unlikely unless a star-level talent is heading to the Celtics in return. Still, Brown's $285 million contract, which will see him earn $53.1 million next season, will ensure that his name is floated in trade rumors. After all, if the Celtics are looking to cut costs, moving Brown is one of the easiest ways to do so, despite the clear downgrade effect that would have on the roster. During a recent episode of "The Greg Hill Show," the concept of trading Brown was discussed. The hosts even dove into a hypothetical move for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is rumored to potentially be available this summer. Brown's impact and contract status were both factored into the discussion, with the hosts looking at the pros and cons of keeping him around.

Josh Pate isn't sleeping on Oklahoma's John Mateer
Josh Pate isn't sleeping on Oklahoma's John Mateer The Oklahoma Sooners made a major upgrade at starting quarterback this winter. With former starter Jackson Arnold off to play for the Auburn Tigers, OU had a hole to fill under center. Not only did they fill it, they did so with a player, John Mateer, who is better than any QB the Sooners had on the roster a year ago. In fact, Mateer was the transfer portal's top overall player this year. Oklahoma beat out Miami and North Carolina to land the former Washington State star. After OU was atrocious offensively in 2024, Mateer's arrival gives the Sooners a chance to rebound back to their winning ways in 2025. At least that's what Josh Pate, the host of "Josh Pate's College Football Show", thinks. Because of familiarity with his play-caller and the help of players from multiple top-ten recruiting classes over the past few years, he has Mateer right alongside the best quarterbacks in the entire SEC. "I'm putting John Mateer in the top five," Pate said. "If I'm right, Oklahoma's gonna be a contender in the SEC. I believe in the OC-quarterback approach, bringing both of them in, not just one of them, especially when they're both qualified, and Ben Arbuckle and John Mateer are. I also think it greatly helps that John Mateer is not being brought into Norman, Oklahoma, and then being looked at by everyone down on their knees with their hands clasped praying, 'Please save us John, save us.' No, you don't need to save anyone. You need to go in there and play solid football and execute, make good decisions, because you know what you've got around you? You've got a top-ten roster around you. You've got a really good defense. You don't have to score 42 a game to win, and you've got guys calling plays for you that you're very familiar with. I think he's gonna be really good this year. That's why I've got Oklahoma top ten in the preseason." Sooner Nation has long clamored for complementary football in Norman. For years, OU fans had to watch incredible offenses, led by Heisman Trophy-level quarterbacks, be ultimately let down by bad defenses. The trio of Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts combined for four College Football Playoff appearances in five seasons from 2015 to 2019, and it was the inability to get stops on defense that, for the most part, sunk those excellent Oklahoma teams in the semifinal round each time. When Brent Venables took over for Lincoln Riley, the hope was that he could change that. In the years since, Venables has built up a defense that looks like it can compete in the SEC. But, just as the defense was getting really good in 2024, Oklahoma's offense fell off a cliff with Seth Littrell and Jackson Arnold at the helm. Complementary football eluded OU yet again. With plenty of returning starters, the Oklahoma defense looks like it has the pieces to be good again. On the other side of the ball, the Arbuckle-Mateer combination hopes to finally bring high-level play on both offense and defense, at the same time, to Norman in 2025.

Predicting the Big 12's top wide receivers for the 2025 season
Predicting the Big 12's top wide receivers for the 2025 season While the Big 12 lost several top wide receivers to the NFL, 2025 could still be a tremendous year for pass catchers in the conference. The Big 12 was dominated by NFL-caliber talent last season, with Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan and Colorado's Travis Hunter leading the charge. However, of the conference's top ten receivers from last season, seven are now in the NFL. That turnover opens the door for a new wave of familiar faces and new playmakers to emerge and seize the spotlight in 2025. Despite losing top receivers, the conference is still returning top quarterbacks. Signal callers such as TCU's Josh Hoover and Iowa State's Rocco Becht will be looking for new targets in 2025, leaving ample opportunities for new No. 1 receivers across the Big 12. In addition to the exodus of elite wideouts, the Big 12 also saw many of its top running backs head to the NFL, which could shift offenses even more toward the passing game. With only a few proven bell-cow backs, several teams could lean more heavily on the play of their quarterbacks and receiver corps to move the chains. Some schools reshaped their wide receiver room through the transfer portal, but some schools are banking on underclassmen from last year to step up. With the 2025 season getting closer each day, here are our predictions for the Big 12's receiving leaders. If you're interested in the passing or rushing leaders, we've got you covered with our breakdown of the conference's top projected quarterbacks and top running backs as well. 10. Sincere Brown, Colorado Buffaloes The Buffs hit the transfer portal heavy for wide receivers after losing Travis Hunter, Jimmy Horn Jr., Will Sheppard and LaJohntay Wester. As a four-star transfer, Brown had a breakout season at Campbell, hauling in 61 receptions, 1,028 yards, and 12 touchdowns. If Brown can replicate his success at Campbell, he should be an immediate playmaker for Colorado. While the Pokes might not have the best year in 2025, Stribling should still find success. The 6-foot-2 wide out tallied 882 yards on 52 receptions in 2024. With his size and speed, he will be a reliable target regardless of how Oklahoma State performs this season. 8. Chase Roberts, BYU Cougars Roberts was the standout player for the Cougars last year and should see increased production in 2025. He averaged 16.4 yards per reception in 2024 while racking up 854 yards on 52 receptions. If BYU has another stellar year, Roberts should be a key to that success. 7. Josh Cameron, Baylor Bears Baylor should have a big year in 2025, and a big part of that will be a big season from one of their pass catchers. Baylor is returning quarterback Sawyer Robertson's top receiver from last season in Josh Cameron. The 6-foot-1 wide out racked up 754 yards, but should have more production this season if he takes another step forward. 6. Caleb Douglas, Texas Tech Red Raiders Texas Tech lost their top receiver, Josh Kelly, but they are replacing him with a player of the same caliber. The 6-foot-4 Douglas caught 60 passes for 877 yards, being the No. 2 wide receiver behind Kelly. That is elite production for a No. 2 receiver. Now, as quarterback Behren Morton's No. 1 option, Douglas should have major success in 2025. 5. Jayce Brown, Kansas State Wildcats Kansas State is full of speedsters, and Brown is undoubtedly one of them. The 6-foot wide out averaged 17.5 yards per reception in 2024 and should have success for the Big 12 title-contending Wildcats in 2025. If quarterback Avery Johnson makes the jump, Brown should have even more success as the No. 1 target. 4. Joseph Williams, Colorado Buffaloes The Buffs have a steep task of replacing Travis Hunter, and Williams is the guy for the Job. Last season with Tulsa, Williams brought in 30 receptions for 588 yards, good for 19.6 yards per catch. He should make a big jump from his freshman season at Tulsa to his sophomore year at Colorado. 3. Chase Sowell, Iowa State Cyclones The Cyclones lost both of their top wide receivers to the NFL. The solution? Bring in one of the top transfer recruits in the nation. Sowell tallied 678 yards on just 34 receptions, good for a gaudy 19.9 yards per reception. His 6-foot-4 frame should fit in nicely with the Iowa State offense and be the top pass catcher for quarterback Rocco Becht. 2. Jordan Dwyer, TCU Horned Frogs TCU also lost its top receiver, but may have upgraded with the four-star transfer. With Idaho, Dwyer was a workhorse, hauling in 78 receptions for 1,192 yards. With TCU returning talented quarterback Josh Hoover, he should have similar production to what he had with the Vandals. There is no doubt that Tyson can be the Big 12's best receiver in 2025. With running back Cam Skattebo in the NFL but quarterback Sam Leavitt returning for the Sun Devils, Tyson is set up for a productive season. In 2024, he tallied 1,101 yards on 75 receptions and could receive even more opportunities in 2025.
