Redshirt freshman guard Vante Hendrix is gone from Utah’s basketball program in a move that may have stemmed from a brief exchange with coach Larry Krystkowiak in what became his final game with the Utes on Thanksgiving night.
In a social media post Tuesday, Hendrix wrote, “My experience at Utah was great but sadly sometimes things aren't just for you.”
Hendrix also said “thank you to the fans of Utah and the coaching staff for everything they did for me.”
The program confirmed Hendrix’s departure Tuesday evening, saying he left the team. Earlier in the day, Krystkowiak’s weekly media briefing was postponed to Wednesday, due to a practice schedule change.
