SALT LAKE CITY — Count one starting point guard among the exodus from the University of Utah men's basketball program. Utah sophomore Rylan Jones has entered the transfer portal, as first reported by Verbal Commits, and is on his way to in-state rival Utah State, as first reported by 1280 The Zone's Jake Hatch and the Aggies' student newspaper Friday, May 7. Shortly thereafter, Jones — who went through at least one offseason workout with new Utah coach Craig Smith — was removed from the university's online roster. Jones announced his decision to play for Utah State Monday afternoon in a tweet where he thanked Utah for his two years and added that he was "coming home" to Utah State. The school confirmed his transfer roughly two weeks later on Friday, May 28 by announcing his enrollment.
