Another award for Tyler Riemersma: https://goaugie.com/news/2022/4/29/m...-for-nsic.aspx

Riemersma Named Britton Scholar-Athlete Award Winner for NSIC

-Dr. Marcia Entwistle, Augustana Faculty Athletic Representative

Tyler is the epitome of what a true student-athlete is all about. He is a very conscientious student, teammate and community leader. I do not believe the FARs within the NSIC could have selected a more qualified or more deserving individual.

I heard the deciding factor was wanting to join a roster with other players on it. Big if true.

Yeah, it becomes troublesome having to thro it in to yourself. :)

I wish he would have waited a few weeks. :)

Welcome Jadan, you are joining a winning tradition with excellent coaching and fans.

Graves looks to have the playmaking abilities the current roster was lacking. Obviously there will be an adjustment period to the level of play and even the officiating but on the surface I love the fit. Tom has no interest in a rebuild, he reloaded.

Welcome to Augie, Ryan Miller: https://goaugie.com/news/2022/4/20/m...022-class.aspx

Came across this short article about incoming Viking Sam Rensch. Didn't realize how many records he set/broke during his time at Hutchinson: https://www.crowrivermedia.com/hutch...e1ea4f9b7.html

From the article:

Rensch broke or tied 24 HHS boys basketball records this past season, including most points in a game (47), most points in a season (731), most rebounds in a season (278), most career points (1,639), most career rebounds (807), most career assists (201), and most career varsity games played (101). He was also named to the academic all-state team this season.

Ryan Miller is transferring to Augie next year from Grand View.

Apparently he was Jake Hilmer's HS teammate, I'm sure that will be a fiesty matchup.

[Augieholic]

That's awesome. Augie is gonna need all the PG coaching it can get in coming seasons
