} * Akoy Agau left the team at the end of U of L's fall semester after having played only 11 minutes in three games this season. He transferred to Georgetown, where he will be eligible in December 2015 with two-and-a-half remaining seasons of eligibility. * Chris Jones was dismissed from the team on February 22. He had been suspended from the Syracuse game on February 18 after having sent a threatening text message to a woman he had dated, but was reinstated several days later. After playing against Miami on February 21, he missed that night's curfew, leading to his dismissal. Several days after that, Jones was charged with rape stemming from an incident that allegedly occurred the night of the Miami game. In late April, a grand jury chose not to indict Jones and his two co-defendants in the case.
