Eastern Illinois shooting guard lists Oklahoma among top transfer destinations - Sooners Wire

-

The Oklahoma Sooners are continuing to build their 2021 roster using the transfer portal. The newest head coach Porter Moser could be closing in another talent from a non-Power Five school with Marvin Johnson of Eastern Illinois.

Johnson is an Oklahoma native from Ardmore. He signed with Eastern Illinois in the 2019 recruiting cycle and could be looking to come back home and playing for the Sooners. Along with OU the Arkansas Razorbacks, Georgia Bulldogs, and Ohio State Buckeyes are among the teams vying for the transfer guard.

Last season Johnson averaged 30.4 minutes per game in 26 games while scoring 15.3 points per game. He shot 30.6% from behind the arc while contributing 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. He could be a great replacement with the loss of Austin Reaves to the NBA through the draft. Not to mention, the team needs to replace De'Vion Harmon who declared for the draft and transferred to the Oregon Ducks.

After that first-round exit, coach Tony Bennett lost a lot of recruits in the Cavaliers' rotation. Retention may be the way for Bennett's Cavs as they try to get their seventh of 10 ACC regular-season championships. Tony Bennett has lost 12 transfers in a span of four seasons. The Cavaliers' exodus is not as bad as some teams in the ACC. However, this does not faze the Virginia basketball head coach in any way. His focus has always been player development and growing culture over the pursuit of constantly acquiring transfers. After all, those are the keys to his 2019 national tournament-winning squad.
