RE: 2018-19 SOCON off-season superthread
There's been a flurry of SoCon activity in late May:

Wofford adds signees and walkons:
6-6 185 Fr Isaiah Bigelow; Other offers include: UNF UNCW, Radford, Charlotte (commit), NC A&T, Norfolk St, Chatt
6-6 190 Fr Messiah Jones, Simeon High, Chicago IL, 2nd team all-state; other Murray St, Evansville, Chicago ST, Milwaukee, Towson, Drake, Northern Ill, Fla Atl, McNeese
highlights at http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/messiah-jones
6-4 G Drew Cottrell no Verbal Commits page, preferred walk on
6-6 F Alex Michael no Verbal Commits page, preferred walk on

Jones and Bigelow give them length and athleticism at a sort of smallish forward that the Terriers did not have, at the same time that rival UNCG is losing 6-6 Marvin Smith.

The Citadel loses transfers:
former 3 star recruit 6-0 180 So Tariq Simmons, 15.2 minutes, 7.2 ppg, 27-92 .293, 2.1 rebounds
6-8 190 So Rob Johnson, 27.0 minutes, 6.3 ppg, 23-72 .319, 3.3 rebounds
6-6 196 Jr Lejandro Allende is also no long listed on the roster; 17.8 minutes, 3.9 ppg, 3.0 rebounds
Those guys could play. This puts another obstacle in their efforts to move up the SoCon ladder - but it happens every year at the Citadel.

Mercer signs:
6-1 180 JUCO Jr PG Djordje Dimitrijevic 13.1 ppg on 50% from 3 (63 makes), 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2017-18/div...ijevic4qwk Clearly he adds a lot more shooting than Marcus Cohen could provide, and more assists than Cummings.
Highlights at http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/dorde-dimitrijevic

Serbian Dimitrijevic is the third eastern European signing of the month for Mercer after WVU transfer Maciej Bender and assistant coach Paul Mrozic

And if Mercer fans insist on calling Ross Cummings "Mamba", will they start calling Djordje "the Chosen One"?

Western Carolina:
loses best player 6-7 210 2nd Team All-Conference Mike Amius going pro early: http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/mike-amius
Verbal Commits under STATUS says "Left Early for Pro Career from Western Carolina". Tweets there say that Amius HAS signed with an agent. Doesn't sound like he's preserving a come back option.
but add:
6-1 175 Jr-Tr Mason Faulkner from NKU a former 3 star recruit will likely have to sit out a year
6-5 182 Fr D.J. Myers, with 9 offers including UNCG, Manhattan and JMU; highlights at http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/d-j-myers
6-3 Fr Kameron Gibson, only other offers Maryland Eastern Shore and Ashland

Chattanooga signs:
6-3 175 JUCO Jr Jonathan Scott, Otero JS stats 12.0 ppg, 44.4% from 3 with 59 makes, 5.3 rebounds per game http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2017-18/div...nscottc7qh
6-8 193 JUCO Jr Roderick Johnson, Jr from Highland IL JUCO stats 5.9 points, 6.1 rebounds http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2017-18/div...nsonjro37q

Samford adds:
6-3 JUCO Jr guard Myron Gordon; JUCO stats at Harcum: 12.5 ppg, 31.1% from 3 with 23 makes, 3.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.9 t.o.'s; http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2016-17/div...gordon5pig
Highlights at http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/myron-gordon

VMI adds:
5-10 145 Fr Guard Rafael Jenkins, other offers Northern Arizona and Stetson; highlights at http://www.verbalcommits.com/players/rafael-jenkins

Don't see any action reported for Furman or UNCG (except new assistant coach Andre Gray)
