Christmas came early with a massive gift for Porter Moser and the Oklahoma Sooners' men's basketball team.
College basketball insider Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 reported on Tuesday that Kirill Elatontsev, a 23-year-old big man from Russia, is expected to join the Sooners this season for a monster boost just as SEC play tips off at the start of the new year, when Elatontsev can join his new team. According to Goodman, Elatontsev was just cleared by the NCAA and has one semester of eligibility left.
