Believe this time LeBrun tweeted it from his own Twitter account, as did Plitzuweit. Really, really excited about these commitments. If I understand correctly, Plitzuweit turned down a legit NDSU offer (as in not a 4-for-5 or preferred walk-on offer). Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on that. Obviously that doesn't guarantee that he'll be a surefire superstar or anything, but I certainly don't think it's a bad thing.

Really excited about this recruiting class already. No idea if the Vikes are done for this class or not, but I'm definitely happy with these two so far.

I'd argue that Augie could beat some of the Bison squads the last few years. Both are very good gets. I'll update later on but I believe NSU has 6 or 7 offers out and 4 are point gaurds.

Grant Basile, 6'8 PF from Pewaukee Wisc
Cody Landwehr, 6'6 PF from Sauk Rapids, MN

Not they'd be included on this list now, but had NSU offered both LeBrun and Plitzuweit as well, or was it just LeBrun? I'll be curious to see where Reede ends up. I could see NSU being a good fit for him (known for being a shooter...which is the direction the game's going if you haven't heard...already in Aberdeen, etc.), but if the Augie coaches like him enough to offer, I definitely trust their judgment and wouldn't mind seeing him in blue and gold along with LeBrun and Plitzuweit.

Not sure how the recent commitments affect Augie's available scholarship situation, but since the current commits are a guard and a small forward (LeBrun is sort of a 2-3 I think), I wouldn't be shocked if the Vikes are still pursuing Tiedman as well.

I'd be very surprised if Reede goes anywhere but NSU, but it comes down to what the kid wants. I believe LeBrun was offered, I hadn't heard of the other kid.

Re: 2018 Recruiting

Apparently, this kid is pretty good. Should be interesting to see where he ends up.

Michael Schaefer (Offers include MSU, MSUM, NSU, SCSU)

Augie is killing it: The Vikings have landed commitments from Trevor Hanson, AJ Plitzuweit and Dylan LeBrun in less than 24 hours.

Augustana adds third commit in two days as 2018 center Trevor Hansen committed to the school this afternoon. 3 of SD's top 5 prospects pic.twitter.com/VtIYeWbnvG

Congrats to Trevor. Vikes are putting together an extremely well-rounded 2018 class. A South Dakota lineup that will strike fear in any SCSU Husky's heart.

This certainly came out of left field. What do we know about him?

I miss having Deal. This new guy covering the Wolves is garbage and has bare minimum stuff. Ryan always went above and beyond.
