The NCAA Transfer Portal officially opened on April 7 and closed on April 21. The new 15-day window was enacted following a recommendation by the men’s basketball oversight committee. Athletes did not have to commit to a new school by the April 21 deadline.

Yaak was just the latest addition to Oklahoma’s roster for the 2026-27 season. They also welcomed back SF Derrion Reid.

Not only that, but guard Xzayvier Brown agreed to a deal to return to the Sooners, per On3’s Joe Tipton. He will be one of the top returner scorers in the SEC next year.

In 37 games last season, Brown averaged 15.4 points per game, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists. He shot 45.6% from the floor and 34.3% from three-point range.
