The D1 transfer portal was extremely hot yesterday. For Utah, Mike Saunders Jr. hitting the portal was expected and also needed for both sides.
Until end of year meetings are over, this is the only anticipated departure. Can something surprise everyone? Absolutely.
Utah will do everything they can to convince Branden Carlson to stay. Marco Anthony has no eligibility left. They’d like Bostyn Holt back, so we’ll see. It’s anticipated that Jaxon Brenchley will choose life after basketball.
So, with Saunders Jr. out, Utah currently has two open scholarships and they want to also keep continuity by avoiding a mass exodus of transfers. They know that’s been a reoccurring issue at Utah for far too long.
If it just remains at two open scholarships, look for them to target size and an athletic point guard. Ideally they’d love to add a physical center and an athletic true point guard. I feel like they need one more shooter, too.
