Report: OU Basketball Parting Ways With Transfer Austin Grandstaff

Despite only a short stay in Norman, Oklahoma is parting ways with transfer Austin Grandstaff according to 247Sports. Grandstaff enrolled at OU in January after starting his collegiate career at Ohio State, but clearly the Sooners weren't the right fit for the freshman.

Was asked about Austin Grandstaff's status in Scoop chat today. The late signing of Jordan Shepard certainly makes more sense now.

Many thought Grandstaff would be a key contributor for the Sooners next year, seeing he was a four-star prospect in high school, and that Lon Kruger has had success with transfers in the past such as Romero Osby, Tashawn Thomas and Ryan Spangler. Grandstaff is known as a solid shooter, and averaged 4.4 points per game in his limited role as a Buckeye at the start of last season.

Turnover in #Sooners hoops program next yr likely to include 6 players (4 seniors, 2 departures) and 2 asst coaches.
