OU Basketball: Oklahoma Signs Guard Xzayvier Brown

Oklahoma head men's basketball coach Porter Moser announced Tuesday the signing of highly regarded transfers Xzayvier Brown from Saint Joseph's, Tae Davis from Notre Dame and Nijel Pack from Miami-FL.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Brown played both of his seasons at Saint Joseph's.

Davis is a 6-9, 215-pound forward who played the last two seasons with the Fighting Irish and his freshman year at Seton Hall. Pack, a 6-0, 185-pound guard, spent his first two seasons at Kansas State and the last three with the Hurricanes.

Davis and Pack hail from Indianapolis and have one season of eligibility remaining. Brown is from Philadelphia and has two years of eligibility left.

"Tae, Nijel and Xzayvier are three of the premier players in this portal cycle and we're absolutely thrilled they chose to join the OU family," said Moser, who directed the Sooners to 20 wins and the NCAA Tournament this past season. "They have combined for 291 games played and 230 starts against high-level competition, so they are battle-tested and will be great leaders from the moment they step foot on campus. They are cerebral, coachable players who bring definite scoring punch with over 3,500 career points among them. We can't wait for them to get here and start working with our returning players and fellow newcomers."
