The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[Augieholic]

Augustana hires Nate Vogel as women's basketball coach. He had been at Texas A&M- Laredo (the Dustdevils).

Vogel turned the tanker at his previous stop so that gives me hope about what he can at Augie. It's still preposterous that it took Augie this long to find a coach for what should be a high level D2 job.

Augie gets a commitment from 6'10"Jacob Brandt from Hillsboro, ND.

Coach Schilling just keeps reeling in fish left and right. Don't know much about Brandt except that Verbal Commits says his other offers are Bemidji, Mary, and Crookston, but I'm guessing Coach Schilling sees his potential. Looking forward to having him on board. Welcome to Augustana, Jacob!

It was a treat to have Hubie Brown as analyst. He’s 90, that’s crazy.

Listened to him at a clinic back in 1988. He was amazing. Used his last second full court play that he diagramed.

Timberwolves are good. Not sure there is a better player in the NBA than Anthony Edwards.

I feel cautiously optimistic. I see the series going 6 or 7 games.

A whole thing about missing Timberwolves talk and that's all you've got in you for a response? You've gotta have a little bit more in the tank than that, Stanger.

Expectations will be low for the Wolves since the entire narrative has been that the Suns will win given the regular season series. I don't believe the Wolves will continue to turn the ball like they did in the regular season (it can't possibly get any worse) and the Suns jump shooting vs the Wolves has felt unsustainable. Finch will find a way to get Ant loose offensively. Wolves in 6.

I miss the Timberwolves talks that used to take place in this thread, especially now that they're good....

What sort of defensive adjustments do you think they'll make for the Suns series? Rudy will not be able to sit in drop coverage as often as he usually does. KAT will need to be extremely mobile since he'll be on the perimeter 75% of defensive possessions.

You sure Margs isn't licking his chops at the idea of taking him in the portal

Yes

1. There has been about 4 times more Parker Fox talk in this glorious thread than there ever should be. Let's move that over to the Northern thread or something.

2. Congrats to the new coaching hires. I knew Sfackpool's name looked familiar. Also, it's probably just that I'm getting old, but it feels like the Vikings will have one of the youngest (or at least youngest-looking) coaching staffs in the NSIC. That assessment comes with having done zero research on other staffs, just to be clear. Hopefully that means they are young and hungry and ready to win some games.

Welcome, Coach Kooima and Coach Stackpool!

Or let's annex that name with the other "he who shall not be named"
