Report: Point Guard Javon Small Enters the Transfer Portal

April 8, 2024

STILLWATER – It took a few weeks, but according to reports, it appears Oklahoma State point guard Javon Small entered the transfer portal on Monday morning.

William Purnell-USA TODAY Sports

It was rumored a few weeks back Small had entered the portal, but he took to Twitter to say he wasn’t officially in the portal. Now, a week after new Oklahoma State head coach Steve Lutz was announced, the head man is going to have to find a point guard.

Small had a very good lone season in Stillwater as he posted 15.1 points per game to lead the Pokes in scoring. He also posted 4.7 rebounds per game, fourth on the team, as well as leading the team in assists at 4.1 per game.

With Small joining Brandon Garrison, Eric Dailey Jr. and Quion Williams in the transfer portal, Lutz now has eight scholarships to fill heading into the summer. It’s also possible more Cowboys could enter the portal as it doesn’t close until May 1.

GP = 31
A = 127
TO = 97

best 3pt percentage, most points (almost double the others), 3rd in blocks, 2nd in steals

... definitely going to be missed.... best PG we've had since Smart by far

I don't think the issue is that he is better or worse than those two. I think the issue is that he's a pretty good player, we need pretty good players, and he could be hard to replace in the portal.

agree on Evans, I was thinking he was before Smart when I wrote that.

Smith, naw, he didn't even start every game... but he was a good player

but you get the point... Small is one of the best players we've had under Boynton, especially at PG.

His assist to turnover ratio wasn't good for a point guard. I'm sure Lutz told him that and why he's in the portal most likely. He should be at two to one and he wasn't close to that. Hopefully we find a point that can equal his scoring and improve that ratio.

BS.... he was playing with a team full of freaking freshman.

Sure his ratio was not ideal, but it was his first season in this system, and playing with guys he was not familiar with.

BS on Lutz telling him anything other than I hope you stay.

Plus, who could tell what offense we were supposed to be running??? Boynton has 7 years to establish an offensive identity, and nothing.
