Oklahoma basketball lands Cal State-Northridge transfer guard Elijah Harkless

Just a day after former UNT guard Umoja Gibson made the Sooners his new home, Cal State-Northridge guard Elijah Harkless did the same. 

Transfer quarterbacks and transfer guards always seem to find their way to Norman, Okla.

Just a day after former North Texas guard Umoja Gibson made the Sooners his new home, Cal State-Northridge guard Elijah Harkless did the same.

Harkless, a 6-foot-4 guard from Rialto, California, played two seasons for the Matadors averaging 8.3 points and 2.6 assists per game in his 50 appearances.

Looking to fill what Jamal Bieniemy is leaving behind with his recent entrance into the transfer portal, Lon Kruger gained back the production, at least on paper with the signing of Harkless and Gibson.

Aside from his offensive numbers, Harkless hauled in nearly five boards a game (4.6) during his stint with Cal State-Northridge.

Putting up a career-high 30-points this past season against UC Irvine, Harkless, much like the rest of Oklahoma’s current roster, is a viable threat to go off and take over a game when need be.

Oklahoma currently has one final scholarship remaining for the 2019-20 season after taking on Gibson and Harkless this week. Where they will go with that scholarship is yet to be seen.
