The Oklahoma Sooners season didn’t go the way many thought it would. They missed the NCAA tournament for the second time in as many seasons under Porter Moser.
And now, since the transfer portal opened, Oklahoma’s seen a pair of players enter the transfer portal. First, it was C.J. Noland making his intentions known, and now, it’s sophomore guard Bijan Cortes departing the Sooners.
Cortes, out of Kingfisher, Okla., has spent the last two seasons as the backup point guard for the Oklahoma Sooners. A three-star prospect and the No. 3 player in the state, Cortes averaged 3.2 points and 2 assists per game for the Sooners in 2022-2023. He shot 44% from the field in 17 minutes per game.
In the final weeks of the season, Cortes stepped away from the team for a time for personal reasons. He returned to play in Oklahoma’s final three games, where Oklahoma went 1-2 against Kansas State, TCU, and Oklahoma State.
With Grant Sherfield graduating and Cortes out the door, the Oklahoma Sooners will be looking to Milos Uzan to run the point in 2023-2024.
