This has probably been noted before, but apparently just became official.
Faison and Vil gone:

They would both be wise to transfer to D2 or NAIA. No need to sit out a year, almost guaranteed PT, and there are lots of smaller schools where they could get a very good free education. We had a lot of fun ripping on Faison here on FF, which was less his fault than those who hyped him up so much. As it turned out, while his career at WU certainly didn't go as planned,it seems he saved his best for us so I'll be happy to see him go.

Yeah Faison tore us up. I was always kinda worried that it would click for him and he would live up to the hype. Sounds like Peele told them to hit the road.

We were all hoping Faison would live up to the hype, but sometimes it doesn't happen. In all honesty, he just wasn't a great fit in the WU system. Reports have him going to USC-Aiken.

Ah, ok. I didn't get to see or listen to the game up in Lynchburg...didn't know who was guarding him in that one. Guess it was Andre Jones.

Andre tripped, and then Seth had a wide open look and missed. Pretty par for the course for him.
These two were expected for the most part. Vil is almost certainly a not renewing scholly as we one guy over the limit with Dreher coming in. Jones is really good, and I'm guessing Faison saw the writing on the wall with him and Dreher coming in.

Yeah, Andre Jones is pretty legit. Interested to see how he comes out early next year.

Faison is going to USC Aiken and Vil is going to Lincoln Memorial, both Div. II schools.

Faison transferred to D2 USC Aiken. They played the College of Charleston the other day and Faison went off. Makes me
