Departures

[edit]

Many players from the previous season left with eligibility remaining. Athletic director Gene Bleymaier explained in 2014: "Last year, we were faced with a situation that needed to be dealt with in a major fashion. The coaching staff was not retained, and several players were not invited back for the 2013-14 season. Only four players returned from the 2012-13 team."[1]
