Trent Wiedeman is reuniting with his former coach. Wiedeman, a 6-foot-8 forward who played three seasons at College of Charleston, requested to transfer after the 2012-13 season and has committed to play at Georgia Southern, where he will play for Mark Byington, GSU's first-year head coach. "I definitely think Georgia Southern made a really good move in hiring him," Wiedeman said about Byington during a phone interview on Tuesday.
