Two major contributors -- Lamont West (#9) and James Bolden (#16). Huggins is still there so I wonder what the issue is.
And Cameron Lard from Iowa St (a major contributor there) is transferring out, as well.

I know that Huggy had some discipline issues with a couple guys this year, with one kid getting kicked off the team in the early part of the year and not being allowed to practice until the season was close to starting. Bolden hasn't played since late January, but I'm not sure if that was due to injury or something else.
Bottom line, there were a lot of off the court issues with WVU heading into this year, and to his credit, it appears Huggy didn't tolerate nonsense.

From last year's team there are actually 7 major losses as of today. TWO players kicked off the team, FOUR players transferring and one declaring for the NBA draft.
Forwards Esa Ahmad (the only senior on the team last year) and Wesley Harris (a junior and a top defender) were kicked off the team back in February for undisclosed team violations.
Transferring out after the season are forwards Lamont West (RS Jr to Missouri State) and Andrew Gordon and guards James “Beetle” Bolden (RS Jr to Alabama) and Trey Doomes (Fr),
Add in that today it was announced that forward and WVU all-time shot blocker Sagaba Konate (Jr) declared for the NBA draft and Huggins has a lot of ground to make up for next year.
