Winthrop sophomore guards Byron Faison and Marc-David Vil announced that they will transfer at the end of the semester. They told coach Randy Peele that they want more playing time. Faison averaged 4.6 points in 13.4 minutes per game, and Vil added 1.7 points in 6.8 minutes per game. Peele wished the players well in a university press release.
“I have had several discussions with Byron and Marc-David since the completion of our season. Both players have enjoyed their time at Winthrop University, but they have decided to transfer in order to have more playing opportunities,” said Peele. “I have great respect for both Byron and Marc and we wish them the very best in their future college careers.”
