SALT LAKE CITY – We’re only a couple of months into the Alex Jensen era of Utah basketball, but the excitement around the program continues to rise.
It’s been an eventful start for the new Runnin’ Utes staff. A near-complete overhaul of the coaching staff and roster has required a lot of attention and work to complete.
The Utah basketball social media team dropped a teaser over the weekend.

Now, the program has released the full episode of a behind-the-scenes style series titled “Team Together.”
Utah Basketball drops new video series, Team Together
The first episode dropped Monday afternoon, and it was a little over 10 minutes.
The series opened with head coach Alex Jensen and general manager Wes Wilcox sharing their approach and thought process with roster construction. Wilcox revealed the first order of business was resigning Keanu Dawes.
The next step from there was securing a point guard. Raphael Chillious then shared insights into what led to pursuing Farleigh Dickinson product Terrence Brown.
From there, the episode transitions to clips from players’ official visits to the program. It included scenes from airport pickups, dinner conversations, and photoshoots.
After that, we’re provided a look into the first day, team meeting, and practices for Utah basketball. An easy, fun, short look into what the last couple of months have been like for Jensen, his staff, and players.
Alex Jensen, Wes Wilcox are excited for Utah basketball
“We’re excited to officially announce the men’s basketball roster,” Alex Jensen said in a statement issued by Utah Athletics. “Our staff has taken great care in constructing a roster that’ll compete on the court and make a positive impact on our community while also being great stewards of our University. We’re thrilled to get to work and can’t wait for the season to begin.”
Utah currently has a projected 13 roster spots accounted for, which leaves two spots that could be filled if they choose to do so. The staff has been actively evaluating and communicating with uncommitted 2025 high school prospects.
“We have constructed a roster that is aligned with the clear vision we have for the program,” Runnin’ Utes General Manager Wes Wilcox said. “We will compete, we will work hard, and we will not quit. This group represents those characteristics, and we couldn’t be more excited to introduce them to our community.”
Jensen’s vision centered around an athletic, defensive-minded team. The additions Utah has made have all provided upgrades in athleticism and versatility, particularly on the defensive end. As the team begins their practices together, they’ll begin to establish their core principles and identity.
