Lutz shared, “Anthony is already familiar with Oklahoma from his time at Langston, and we’re thrilled to welcome him back. He’s a big, versatile guard who can play multiple positions. He was one of the nation’s best scorers last season before injuring his foot, and he will thrive in our system and style of play.”
