1) Ten players made the All SoCon team. Omar Carter, Donald Sims, Andrew Goudelock, Donavan Monroe, Cameron Wells, Chris Long, Amu Saaka, Omar Wattad, Mike Williams, and Noah Dahlman all are on the team. Who was left off? Keegan Bell and Jake Cohen are the ones most deserving who were left off the list. As first and foremost a Mocs blog, I will just say that Bell deserved the spot on the All Conference team over Wattad. Cohen it's harder to find a place for. Still, this is a solid list of contributors. The first day will feature one match-up between the two teams. Wells will take on Long when The Citadel faces Elon at 9:30 on Friday night.
2) The All Freshman team features Trent Wiedeman, Lucas Troutman, Eric Ferguson, Trevis Simpson, and Trey Sumler. That means that only two teams do not have representatives on the All SoCon team or the All Freshman team- Davidson and Samford. The Bulldogs clearly don't deserve to have people on here- they finished in last place in the North division. But Davidson is a team that plenty of team pick to win the SoCon Tournament title this Monday. So, the fact that they don't have anyone on these lists is a little surprising. De'Mon Brooks deserves to be on the All Freshman team.
3) The Coach of the Year Award should not have gone to Bobby Cremins. I would have voted for Jeff Jackson at Furman. He seems to be the clear favorite on this list. Larry Hunter at Western Carolina was the coach I would have voted for second. After that comes John Shulman at Chattanooga, Bob McKillop at Davidson (who really turned things around in the second half of the season), and then Cremins. Cremins was a fine choice, but the Cougars succeeded at exactly the rate most people expected them to in the preseason.
