BREAKING: Oklahoma Basketball adds athletic ACC Big Man Khani Rooths, former 5-star OK prep star Keeley Parks

The Locked On Sooners podcast breaks down two major transfer portal additions for the Oklahoma Sooners basketball programs. On the men's side, the Sooners have landed six-foot-ten, former four-star prospect Kanai Ruths from Louisville, a versatile and athletic big man with significant upside who can stretch the floor, defend multiple positions, and contribute in transition. His arrival addresses the loss of key frontcourt players like Muhammad Wege, Tay Davis, and Kirill, and provides depth and athleticism crucial for competing in the SEC. On the women's side, Oklahoma secured former five-star prospect Keely Parks, a Norman native and two-time Gatorade Player of the Year, who committed to the Sooners after initially signing with Kansas. Parks brings elite shooting ability—33.3% from three as a freshman—and the potential to be a key contributor alongside Aliyah Chavez and Sahara Williams. The episode highlights the aggressive strategy by head coach Jenny Bronchek to rebuild both rosters, with more portal activity expected. The hosts express optimism about the future of both programs, emphasizing the importance of local talent and athletic versatility in the transfer market.
