Former Dayton Flyers guard Mike Sharavjamts put his name in the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday, two days before the deadline for first-time transfers who don’t want to sit out a year after transferring.

Sharavjamts announced his decision to leave the Dayton Flyers and enter his name in the NBA Draft on March 29. According to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, Sharavjamts “is leaning towards turning pro, but wants to explore collegiate portal options in case he withdraws from the NBA draft on May 31.”

Sharavjamts will participate in the G League Elite Camp on Friday and Saturday in Chicago.

The first Mongolian citizen to play Division I men’s basketball, Sharavjamts, a 6-foot-8 guard/forward was the only freshman on Dayton’s roster last season. He made the Atlantic 10 Conference All-Rookie team, averaging 5.6 points and 2.6 assists in 30 games. He started 20 games.
