The Miami Hurricanes graduate just one player from their NIT final team, but another two won't be returning for the 2015-16 season.

Sophomore Manu Lecomte and redshirt freshman Deandre Burnett -- both guards -- will transfer, the school announced Wednesday afternoon.

"We thank both Manu and Deandre for their contributions to the Miami basketball program for the past two seasons," head coach Jim Larranaga said in a release. "We wish them the best in their future."

Lecomte, from Belgium, averaged 7.9 points, 1.8 assists and 1.4 rebounds in his second season. Over two years, he played in 71 games (40 starts), averaging 7.8 points and 2.0 assists per contest.

Burnett, who sat out his first year after undergoing wrist surgery, played in 28 games in 2014-15. He averaged 7.0 points and 2.0 rebounds.

The guard positions are crowded ones for the Hurricanes, with freshman Ja'Quan Newton and James Palmer, sophomore Davon Reed as well as redshirt juniors Sheldon McClellan and Angel Rodriguez all coming back.
