Recruit from Mongolia now on campus at UD

Mike Sh.Enkhiin-Od 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 Sh.Enkhiin-Od’ arrival at the Dayton International Airport after a trip from his home country, Mongolia.

With Sh.Enkhiin-Od 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, Sh.Enkhiin-Od 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. Sh.Enkhiin-Od first visited UD in September 2020. That’s when he received a scholarship offer from the program. On Nov. 1 last season, he sat behind the bench for an exhibition game against Cedarville. He then committed to Dayton on Dec. 15.

Sh.Enkhiin-Od ranked 42nd in the class of 2022, according to On3.com, 95th, according to Rivals.com, and 107th, according to 247Sports.com.
