At this time last year, the Sooner roster consisted of nine freshman and sophomores and only one senior (Khadeem Lattin). KenPom.com ranked the Sooners 304th out of 351 NCAA Division I teams in experience, based on age and class ranking.
Now, 12 months later: As a result of transfers going and coming, as well as the addition of a pair of graduate transfers, Oklahoma will tip off the 2018-19 college basketball season with eight seniors or graduate transfers and just one scholarship freshman.
Lon Kruger’s team is the oldest in the Big 12 this season, but don’t mistake those added years of experience as an increased talent level, as in the senior-laden 2015-16 Sooner squad that made it all the way to the Final Four.
