OU basketball: JUCO center Corbin Merritt commits to Sooners

Oklahoma added another piece to its 2019 recruiting class. Junior college center Corbin Merritt committed to the Sooners on Monday.

Merritt, from Daytona State College, is the fourth commitment in Oklahoma's 2019 class.

"Basketball has put me in position to be able to play the game I love and receive a free education," Merritt wrote in a tweet. "Before I make my commitment I would like to thank God for this opportunity. I’m glad to announce that I’ll be playing for Oklahoma University."

The 6-foot-9 and 252-pound center also holds scholarship offers from Bowling Green, James Madison, Kennesaw State, Stetson and Troy.
