Major Transfers Reshape Oklahoma, Alabama, Oklahoma State

Oklahoma has landed Alabama transfer Derrion Reid, a five-star recruit and McDonald's All-American limited by injury during his freshman season, to strengthen its roster alongside other transfers like Nijel Pack, Tae Davis, and Xzayvier Brown. In another major move, Oklahoma State has added UMass transfer Jaylen Curry, who averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists last season and is expected to play a pivotal role for coach Steve Lutz. Meanwhile, Alabama bolstered its lineup by bringing in Tarleton State forward Keitenn Bristow, the WAC’s freshman of the year, as its fourth transfer portal addition. These transfers come as all three programs work to rebuild after key player departures and NCAA tournament exits. The series of moves reflects a broader wave of high-profile roster changes across college basketball. Each team aims to capitalize on new talent ahead of the upcoming season.
