The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Cool thing about the assist and defensive rebound records at Mitchell is that Hinker plays at the same school former NBA star Mike Miller played for in high school. Not that Miller was a world famous passer or rebounder, but cool that Hinker had to jump a long-tenured NBA player to achieve some of those milestones.

A few other pretty talented NSIC guys as well like Jared Miller, Jordan Miller and Ryan Krome

MrAugustana. Great job posting all the tweets and highlights of Viking commits. Looks like Billeter and staff have delivered the goods. This season could be better then some think as well.

For Augie fans interested in this 2022 recruiting class, here are some tweets I dug up for the three recent commits. I posted a few tweets about Rensch and McDonald earlier in the thread. We'll see how long I'm able to stay logged in before I randomly get logged out. Might take me a few tries.

Caden Hinker

Good looking player. I can see why NW was interested. He fits the Hawkins, Dreamer, etc. profile. Looks to have a little Larry Bird-esque release on the shot. Would have been fun to watch him play for NW.

MrAugustana - This is the one that stands out to me the most, and plays into the fears of many of us in the NSIC:

Hard not to let the mind wander given the sheer size and volume of this class. If the true freshmen guards, British + Johnson, develop this has the makings of a return to relevance tour for Texas Tom.

Billeter was interviewed at the halftime of the football game by Fylling, he was upbeat about Johnson and big man Winkel. About the 2 Brits he said they are still getting used to the speed of the college game, also stated Jordan Spencer played a big role in the recruiting of them. He was very upbeat about this upcoming season.

Don't know if it's because the D1 stuff is behind us or if it's just been a solid summer on the recruiting trail, but it feels like the Vikes are getting back on track. Looking forward to seeing this group plus Caden Hinker on the court for the next few years.

The hits keep on coming. Here's another commit, and another much-needed big man.

This is off topic but a special post for Augieholic. I got hugs from Heather Johnson Anderson and Joanne Noreen as they were inducted into the Mav Hall of Fame on Friday night. They look like they could still take the ball to the hoop 12 years after the national title. Casey Lloyd, who has broadcasted for over 50 years, is on the left.
