Joe Bamisile - Performing well in Europe Bamisile has not received his waiver from the NCAA, but is participating in Oklahoma's foreign tour, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Bamisile, who previously played at George Washington and Virginia Tech, is still patiently awaiting a waiver from the NCAA to partake in the 2022-2023 season. The guard is currently averaging 18.0 points per game in the Sooners' first two contests of the foreign tour and would be a huge addition to Oklahoma if he is eligible to play this season.

Yaya Keita - Sitting out foreign tour Keita (knee) will not play in Oklahoma's upcoming foreign tour, Eli Lederman of the Tulsa World reports.

Impact Keita appeared in 21 games for Missouri during his freshman season before undergoing knee surgery in February and ultimately entering the transfer portal in the offseason. He'll be a bit delayed in his bid to climb up the depth chart, though head coach Porter Moser expects to have him back "in the next month or so." In the meantime, projected starter Tanner Groves will get plenty of reps at center.

Joe Bamisile - Still waiting on waiver Bamisile has yet to receive his transfer waiver from the NCAA, Eli Lederman of the Tulsa World reports.

Impact Since this is Bamisile's third school in three collegiate seasons, he technically needs a waiver from the NCAA in order to be granted immediate eligibility for the Sooners. Fortunately for Bamisile, the NCAA is typically lenient on these, as teammate Grant Sherfield -- in a similar situation -- has already received his waiver. Still, the 16.3 ppg scorer will have to wait a bit longer to be officially awarded his 2022-23 eligibility.

Grant Sherfield - Eligible for 2022 season Sherfield has received a waiver from the NCAA that grants him eligibility for the 2022 season, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Now officially eligible to compete, Sherfield should slot right in at Oklahoma's starting point guard spot. In his pervious two seasons with Nevada, Sherfield was a scoring machine, averaging 18.6 points in 2020 and 19.1 points in 2021. The guard also proved his worth as a facilitator, dishing out 6.4 assists in 2021.

Yaya Keita - Transferring to Oklahoma Keita (knee) announced Sunday via his personal Twitter feed that he'll transfer to Oklahoma.

Impact Keita was one of several players at Missouri to enter the transfer portal after coach Cuonzo Martin was fired, and the forward will attempt to carve out a role with the Sooners. Keita averaged just 1.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.8 minutes per game while playing exclusively off the bench during his freshman year. He missed the last 10 games of the 2021-22 season after undergoing knee surgery, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the start of this season.
