One of the new faces, however, will belong to former North Texas sharpshooter Umoja Gibson, who has announced that he is transferring to Oklahoma after two seasons in Denton, Texas, playing for coach Grant McCasland and the North Texas Mean Green.
The 6-fooot, 1-inch redshirt sophomore averaged 14.5 points, 1.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds a game, starting all 31 games for North Texas this past season, and led the Mean Green with 86 made three-pointers. Gibson shot nearly 40 percent from long range in 2019-20, and should give Lon Kruger’s team additional firepower from the perimeter.
