Former Oklahoma Sooner De’Vion Harmon withdraws from the NBA Draft and will play for Oregon. After spending two seasons at Oklahoma, Harmon tested the draft waters and received feedback. He is a 6’2″ 198lb guard that can score, rebound, and defend the perimeter. This past season he averaged 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.
Jeff Goodman of Stadium tweeted out the news.

This comes off the heels of the news that Jacob Young of Rutgers was withdrawing from the draft and returning to the NCAA to play for Oregon. The Ducks and coach Dana Altman are bringing in some quality transfers at guard and should be the favorite to win the Pac-12.
The Ducks have also added Syracuse transfer Quincy Guerrier and have a five-star recruit, Nathan Bittle, joining their roster next season. Rivaldo Soares of South Plains College rounds out the two-man recruiting class. Bittle is 6-11 and 200lb. A top-25 prospect, he should play right away after a summer of preparation.
The Ducks are capable of returning a solid roster and will be a threat to make an Elite Eight or Final Four run. With experienced transfers being brought on, they will have quite the roster makeup and have taken advantage of the new age of NCAA recruiting. Perhaps college free agency is well on its way along with NIL rights and more.
