Oklahoma makes final four teams in the running for Eastern Washington transfer Tanner Groves

Oklahoma has found themselves in the final four schools in the running for Eastern Washington transfer forward Tanner Groves.

Oklahoma basketball has a lost a lot in terms of players departing from the team since the end of last season in the transition from former head coach Lon Kruger to new head coach Porter Moser.

But, one very key addition could be on the way for the Sooners. On the same day both Alondes Williams and De’Vion Harmon entered the transfer portal, Eastern Washington transfer forward Tanner Groves has Oklahoma in his final four schools, per Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.

Groves burst on the scene to many with his big performance in this year’s NCAA Tournament against Kansas as it became clear that the redshirt junior would be an interesting candidate as someone who could make the jump to a bigger program.

Interestingly, another team to make the final cut for Groves is Oklahoma’s biggest rival in Texas under their new head coach in Chris Beard. Both Beard and Moser are just beginning their tenures in the Red River rivalry, but they already have a big time battle on their hands to try and land the services of the Eastern Washington big man.

Groves seems like a home run pickup for Moser and the Sooners should they land him, given the severe lack of players underneath right now on the roster. His 17 points and 8 rebounds per game would be a very welcomed addition to Oklahoma’s hopes for competing in the stingy Big 12 conference next season.

Sooners Wire will continue to provide updates on Groves as they become available.
