The Oklahoma Sooners made a splash in the transfer portal on Thursday, adding senior SMU guard B.J. Edwards. Edwards joins the Sooners after spending three seasons with the Mustangs.
With SMU last season, Edwards averaged 12.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. He shot 47.4% from the field and 37.2% from three.
The 6-foot-3 point guard is the third guard addition by the Sooners through the transfer portal this offseason. Edwards joins former Texas A&M guard Pop Isaacs and former Utah Valley guard Tyler Hendricks. The Sooners also added forwards Yaak Yaak and Khani Rooths.
Last season for the Mustangs, Edwards scored in double figures 19 times, including a season-high 24 points in a win over Wake Forest. Edwards also had multiple double-digit assist games, with a season-high 13 assists against Arkansas State and 11 in a win over Texas A&M. Edwards recorded a triple-double in the Mustangs' win over Cal State Fullerton.
This is a big get for Porter Moser and the Sooners, adding a veteran player who can facilitate the offense and provide a scoring punch.
