I think WCU will be the team to beat next year. Woolbright was nearly instoppable in the semifinal. If they bring in a decent transfer to replace Claude, along with the Mercer G transfer, they will be the team to beat.

2024 SoCon Championship race!
Replacing Claud is easier said than done. That team without Claud barely won half their SoCon games. A healthy Claud almost upset Furman in the Semis. Once he fouled out Furman poured it in and WCU lost a huge presence on both ends of the court.

Something else that is interesting, I believe the Langley brothers are back for UNCG, according to Verbal Commits they have an extra year of eligibility.
Updated SoCon preseason rankings:
Tier 1
1) Furman
Tier 2
2) Samford
3) WCU
Tier 3
4) UNCG
5) UTC
6) ETSU
Tier 4
7) Wofford
8) Mercer
9) Citadel
10) VMI
This is probably the toughest year to nail down who the top 10-20 players in the SoCon preseason ratings would be, crazy amount of turnover in the league this year.

Y’all sleeping on WCU. I could make the argument that they should be preseason number ones.

Nah, going to have to do better than 18-16 to impress me
They have two good players and the rest of the roster is average to below average talent. They lost their most important player Claude to transfer portal and we all know what happened when they played FU without him, a 35 point EZ win for FU
Putting them 3rd is where they belong unless they can prove otherwise on the court...............
