OU basketball: From Young to old, Sooners to rely on grad transfer guards

NORMAN — College basketball's most dynamic freshman has been replaced by a pair of graduate transfers.

Trae Young is out. Aaron Calixte and Miles Reynolds are in.

Calixte, a graduate transfer from Maine, played point guard Tuesday afternoon in OU's first practice of the season. He's expected to start for the Sooners. Reynolds, a graduate transfer from Pacific, will also add depth at guard.

Both players bring an instant injection of experience to an already veteran team.

“When you have two fifth-year grads, they're experienced but they're still new to the program,” Sooners coach Lon Kruger said.
