Sam Grooms verbally committed to the Sooners Sunday.

He is believed to be one of the top points guards in the junior college ranks.

Grooms spent the last two years at Chipola after playing high school ball in Greensboro, N.C. A two-star recruit coming out of the prep ranks, Grooms signed with South Florida before ending up at Chipola.

He led the Indians to a 25-6 record in 2010-11. They were upset in the NJCAA Region VIII championship, a loss that kept them out of the national junior college tournament.

North Carolina was among Division I schools reportedly considering Grooms as recently as late last month.
