      Yes, both will be good NSIC players. Question is whether they are ready right away next year. I think by second half of next year one or both could see real minutes.

          That's a photo of some talented young men and their coach this fall. Bravo! Along with two from Minny the start of something great. There are 5 D2 schools in SD and 3 of the very best are attending Augustana, now those are some high IQ young men.

            In what I have think must be the final set of awards given out for the year, AJ Plitzuweit wins the Argus Sports "Boys Basketball Player of the Year" award:

              This isn't new but was on Twitter this morning. About Augie going D1. "Not if, but when."

                Looks like 6'8" 2017 PF Tyler Riemersma is transferring to Augustana from Navy. He is a very good player. Extremely skilled inside and outside. Will likely play significant minutes next year. Will also help with Aggie transition from D2 to D1.

                  He was 0-5 on 3s at Navy but based on your "extremely skilled inside and outside" comment (and his adequate 76% FT) Im guessing he has the ability to hit the three with some consistency.

                  Assuming Tyler is better than Hanson/Kerkman/Behrends that gives Augie this roster:

                  AJ Plitzuweit/Jameson Bryan/Tayt Vincent at the point
                  Matt Cartwright/Dylan LeBrun/Eric Tiedman/Zac Stevenson on the wing
                  Michael Schaefer at the 3/4
                  Adam Dykman/Tyker Riemersma/Trevor Hanson/Bodey Behrens/Andy Kerkman down low.

                  Texas Tom hasnt undertaken a rebuild of this magnitude since his first few seasons at Augie. Then again the disappointment of last year's squad clearly showed that starting over was the correct move. As currently constructed that roster has a lot of potential in a couple years but probably in the range of 10ish wins next year.

                    Augie will be better than you think next year. Many of these young guys will be able to contribute early.

                      If Tom guides a team that has a one player (Andy Kerkman) with two or more years of NSIC experience to a winning record he deserves all of the Coach of the Year awards.

                        Interesting. Sounds like a solid player to bring in. If he and Dykman can complement each other down low, that could make for a decent frontcourt.

                          Once a young man makes a commitment to the Navy, I thought you are there for a certain amount of time and cannot just leave after 2 years.

                            You can leave the USNA in the first two years without obligation to serve. At the start of the third year, midshipmen sign a "2 for 7" agreement obligating them to complete the final two years of the academy and five years of active service.

                              Didn't realize Riemersma averaged 10 minutes per game with Navy. While his stats weren't necessarily mind-blowing, that's pretty solid experience to be getting as a true freshman. Seems like a lot of D1 transfers come in after primarily (or exclusively) riding the bench for a season or two. Looking forward to seeing how he can contribute for 3 years as a Viking.
