Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
A couple of quick updates on Augie's 2018 commits:
-Incoming big man Trevor Hanson's Sioux Valley squad lost in the semi-finals last night to Madison. Hanson's team struggled in the first half, made a run at the end, and lost by 2 after a turnover on the final possession. Hanson himself had 28 points and 11 boards, going against the SDSU-committed Aaron Fiegen (who is 6'7" himself) in a pretty good match-up. Would've enjoyed seeing Hanson in the championship, but congrats to him on a great season.
-Both of Augie's 2018 Minnesota commits worked their way into the Class AA state tournament. Michael Schaefer of St. Cloud Cathedral put up a solid 16 points, 16 boards, and 4 assists in a win last night to reach the final 8, and I haven't been able to get stats for Tiedman, but his Jordan Hubmen are in it as well.
-Augie's other two 2018s lost in the round before the SD state tournament, with Flandreau's Dylan LeBrun losing to Hanson's Sioux Valley squad a couple of weeks ago and AJ Plitzuweit's Vermillion squad dropping a super close one to Dakota Valley. Both finish as two of the best players at their respective schools, particularly with Plitzuweit only having been at Vermillion for two years.
Looking forward to seeing how Schaefer and Tiedman do in the MN state tourney.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
We ran into a gentleman tonight who claimed to be a "Born and raised " Augie kid....while he mentioned we were all in the MIC conference and that if anyone was going to win not named Augie he wants it to be Northern, then said you all Hate Northern, then said oh yeah, we all know Northern as UND...
We played along as our young Commrad struggled through non sober words, he was able to come up with Jordan Spencer after asking him hoops knowledge for ten minutes.
He then also brought up how big of fans they were and how they hated Jordan Miller...then brought up d2messageboards on his own. I thought we had found an Augie poster, or at least Common Sense....but after holding him up against a wall by his collar and asking him who he worked for, he was simply a passer by, but icing on the cake to an alright night out, haha

Originally posted by MrAugustana View PostI could easily be mistaken, but my guess is that he was implying that we are overhyping AJ slightly, and that if he is as good as we are predicting he will be, it'll only be a year before he goes to a D1.
That being said, I'm not particularly concerned about that happening. If "going D1" was his goal, he would have accepted his D1 offer, or waited for other D1 offers.
From everything I have heard, it sounds like AJ is excited to be at Augie and to be playing in a system that will very effectively complement his skill set as a player.
