SALT LAKE CITY – Reports indicate that Utah basketball guard Mike Sharavjamts will declare for the NCAA Transfer Portal, as announced on Tuesday afternoon.
This season, the junior contributed an average of 7.4 points and 2.8 assists per game for the Runnin’ Utes.
Sharavjamts is now among several former Utah players, including Ezra Ausar, Zach Keller, Lawson Lovering, and Jake Wahlin, who are also in the transfer portal.
Mike Sharavjamts To Enter The Transfer Portal Waters
Sharavjamts began his college career at Dayton, where he made a strong impression as a freshman. He then transferred to San Francisco, where he continued to display his potential.
After entering the transfer portal for a third time, he joined the Runnin’ Utes last summer, becoming a significant acquisition for Craig Smith.
During his junior season at Utah, Sharavjamts maintained his previous performance averages while competing in the Big 12 and playing fewer minutes.
He achieved season highs of 19 points against Queens and recorded eight rebounds and eight assists in a game against Central Arkansas.
Unfortunately, Utah ended the season with a 16-16 record, was eliminated early in the Big 12 Championship, and did not qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
Alex Jensen Rebuilding Runnin’ Utes Program Will Strengthen Utah Basketball Community
With Alex Jensen at the helm of the University of Utah men’s basketball program, the former Runnin’ Ute star is poised to start building the foundation for his team.
Jensen’s ties to the university and his extensive coaching experience give him a unique advantage in reestablishing connections with the program’s rich history while fostering hope for its future.
It’s evident that his presence is already making an impact on the Utah basketball community, which is a promising sign for both him and the program moving forward.
Utah boasts a vibrant basketball community, bolstered by the Utah Jazz and the successful college programs across the state, making basketball highly valued here. The hiring of Jensen enhances this community, which is characterized by its close-knit, passionate members, dedicated fans, and former players.
His arrival has already made an impact on Runnin’ Utes supporters. The ticket office has experienced a surge in inquiries for season tickets, particularly from fans who had previously disengaged. Former season ticket holders are eager to return to the Huntsman Center, and the office has received a flood of new requests for season tickets.
This reflects one dimension of the Utah basketball community, while another significant aspect is the connection with former players. Many Runnin’ Ute alumni are expressing renewed excitement and are keen to see Jensen lead the program back to success.
