Oklahoma lands former Pitt forward John Hugley IV

By CHARLIE PARENT

Pitt transfer John Hugley IV, has committed to Oklahoma, he announced Thursday.

The 6-foot-9 junior averaged 8 points and 3.6 on 47.8% shooting for the Panthers last season.

“I chose Oklahoma because it just felt like home,” he told On3 Sports. “From the time Coach Porter first picked up the phone to call me, from the time I left campus, it was just all love. Coach Porter is an unbelievable coach and he loves to win and has took his teams to the highest levels. I also think coach does an unbelievable job with featuring his big man. I really think this team can make a really deep run come tournament time.”
