Another potential transfer portal move involving the Oklahoma Sooners could be soon to come. Earlier on Wednesday, it was reported that Sooners transfer guard Milos Uzan is expected to take a visit to Houston. Another Oklahoma transfer is expected to be on the road taking a visit this weekend, too.
Standout guard Javian McCollum, who spent one season in Norman after transferring in from Siena, is taking a visit to Georgia Tech.
McCollum could land with Yellow Jackets
As reported by CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein, McCollum is set to take a visit to Atlanta this upcoming weekend. With a visit set, it seems McCollum could be on his way to Georgia Tech after hitting the transfer portal. Travis Branham of 247Sports gave McCollum a crystal ball to land with the Yellow Jackets, too.
McCollum could provide a young, talented roster in Georgia Tech with some veteran leadership as it will be his third school in his career.
McCollum received heavy portal interest
While it seems McCollum will end up with Georgia Tech, plenty of schools expressed interest in the 6-foot-2, 190 pound guard. Along with Georgia Tech, McCollum received interest from Kentucky (prior to John Calipari’s move to Arkansas), West Virginia, USC, Georgia, Michigan and others.
In his lone season with Oklahoma, McCollum averaged 13.3 PPG in 31 minutes per game. The sport of college basketball is expanding more and more to needing elite perimeter play, and McCollum has proven he can provide scoring prowess from the perimeter. Averaging nearly four assists over the past two seasons, it’s no secret McCollum can be the engine to an offense.
Wherever he ends up, McCollum is going to provide a solid impact for a program. There seems to be some solid steam toward Georgia Tech landing his services, and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of fit there is for the former Sooner should he end up in Atlanta.
