Oregon transfer guard Rivaldo Soares commits to the Oklahoma Sooners

The Oklahoma Sooners added another backcourt piece, earning the commitment of Oregon transfer Rivaldo Soares.

Rivaldo Soares entered the transfer portal looking for a fresh start after two seasons with the Ducks. The guard started 33 games for Oregon this past season. He averaged 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists while shooting 25% from 3-point range and 47% from the field.

Soares started his career at South Plains College in Texas. He was there for two seasons before heading to Oregon out of the junior college ranks.

Soares joins [autotag]John Hugley[/autotag] and [autotag]Javian McCollum[/autotag]as members of Oklahoma’s transfer class. He’ll add valuable Power Five experience as a depth option in Porter Moser’s guard rotation, joining McCollum, Milos Uzan and Otega Oweh.

Porter Moser has brought in a decent transfer class so far, and he’s likely not done. With the portal window open for another month and the needs the Sooners have up and down the roster, Moser isn’t anywhere close to rounding out the Oklahoma Sooners for 2023-2024.
