Mike Sharavjamts joins Dayton Flyers after trip home to Mongolia

Mike Sharavjamts announced his arrival in Dayton on Wednesday afternoon by sharing a simple photo on Instagram of his new team, the Dayton Flyers, huddled on the practice court at the Cronin Center.

Hours later, Dayton’s official social media accounts posted a video announcing Sharavjamts’ arrival at the Dayton International Airport after a trip from his home country, Mongolia. The video showed associate head coach Ricardo Greer hugging Sharavjamts outside the terminal and then driving him to campus, where he was greeted at the Cronin Center by the rest of the players and coaches.

With Sharavjamts on campus, Dayton has its 12-man roster together for the summer, except for Mustapha Amzil, who’s training with Finland’s national team as it prepares for two FIBA World Cup qualifiers: against Sweden on June 30 and against Croatia on July 3.

A 6-foot-8 point guard, Sharavjamts is one of two newcomers on Dayton’s 2022-23 roster and the only freshman. Georgia transfer Tyrone Baker arrived on campus earlier this month.
