There's no doubt these players love Lou so it seems likely they would've stayed if Lou was still coach but I still don't think it'd be out of spite if they transfer. These guys have played three years at JMU and haven't even come close to a winning season, definitely understandable if they want to go somewhere they feel is more likely to finally win and maybe get to go to the tournament. Hopefully Byington can convince them that JMU is going to be that place(and of course can follow through on that), but if not then I hope he can fill those spots with quality guys so late.
