McKay brings more than 20 years of college basketball experience and will oversee roster management, NIL strategy and player retention.
- Oklahoma announced Monday the hiring of Lucas McKay as the University of Oklahoma's first-ever men's basketball general manager, bringing over two decades of experience from Clemson.
- Following Oklahoma's decision to retain head coach Porter Moser after a 21-16 season, Vice President and Director of Athletics Roger Denny sought to strengthen program infrastructure through the new role.
- As chief front-office strategist, McKay will oversee "roster management, player acquisition and alignment to head coach vision," drawing from 14 years at Clemson under head coach Brad Brownell.
- McKay will collaborate with assistant general manager Trae Young, the former Sooners star appointed last spring to help strengthen recruiting operations and player retention efforts.
- The new general manager will prioritize "NIL and revenue-share strategy" to attract and retain talent, stating he will "work tirelessly" to build rosters representing the state and competing for championships.
