The long-awaited announcement came down the pipeline on Wednesday evening as Jalon Moore made it known he’d be coming back for the 2024-2025 season.
It’s a huge return for the Oklahoma Sooners, who are still hoping to make their first NCAA Tournament appearance under Porter Moser. Getting Moore back for another year provides an athletic scorer who can play multiple positions and provides some continuity.
The Sooners have had a lot of turnover via the transfer portal this offseason. But the return of Moore helps give Moser some stability in the starting lineup. Especially if he can build off of a strong season in which he averaged 11.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. He shot over 50% from the field and 41% from three. Moore was third on the team in minutes.
His athleticism and energy make for must-see television. Heading into the SEC they’ll need that kind of play in their new conference home.
