Michael Wilds, a 6-7 power forward, has inked with Utah State; Justin Smith, a 6-2 shooting guard, has pledged to Tennessee-Martin; Brandon Freeman, a high scoring 6-3 off guard, will play next year at Arkansas Little Rock; and Nick Williams, a 6-4 combo guard, will attend Cincinnati next fall.
A fifth player, Walter Harris, a 6-4, 200 pound sophomore small forward from Birmingham, Ala., is expected to sign early next week, possibly Monday. Cross said he's down to Louisiana-Monroe and Jacksonville State.
Two other Chipola sophomores, Division I bounce backs Tom Frericks, a 6-9 center, and 6-3 swingman JueMichael Young, will make spring decisions.
