Charles Jones Jr. is transferring from the Utah basketball program with one year of eligibility remaining, 247Sports reported Monday.
Jones’ entering the NCAA transfer portal is not a surprising move, even though the graduation of guards Sedrick Barefield and Parker Van Dyke may have created more playing time for him as a senior. Jones averaged 2.6 points as a Utah junior in 2018-19, after transferring from the College of Southern Idaho as the NJCAA Player of the Year.
Jones shot 35.2 percent from the field for Utah, failing to show the long-range ability the Utes will need in the absence of Barefield and Van Dyke.
