The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

#1 Truth is Plitzuweit has lived in SD for 2 years, he is a Kentucky native. I'm thrilled to have him as a Viking. He is a true D1 player and will light it up in the NSIC.

That explains it....

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

He looks pretty smooth alright. The body of evidence suggests he has never missed a shot in his entire career.

BTW we have a guy coming in who broke Tony Romo's scoring record. That's right, that Tony Romo.

I can't wait to watch Plitzuweit make simple eat crow for the next 4 years. :)

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Would be a fine time to hang out with Simple and Mr.Mr. listening to you guy's go back and forth. Preferably at an AU-SCSU game.

There would be more trash talk and fouling in the stands than on the court!

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

I mostly just thought it was funny that, if you were just throwing out random numbers, one of them actually applied to a player from MN heading to the NSIC.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Don't know if you're trying to be funny, but #47 in the current Prep Hoops 2018 rankings is going to Northern (Balcome). Schaefer is actually #17, which is funny because he's currently ranked higher than likely D1-bound Sy Chatman, amongst others. Tiedman is #29. I'm guessing those numbers will all change if they do some sort of "final rankings" before the end of the year.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Yeah, one's rated 47th in the MN class of 2018 and the other is rated 56th. :)

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

In case you didn't know, the class also has two 2018s who are going to Augustana University (SD), so I have a feeling they'll be just fine...

For the record, this was a relatively tongue-in-cheek comment. Not that I don't think both players have a chance to be excellent at our level, but that I recognize the difference between Suggs, for example, and Augie's commits.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

smh
There are 4 classes in MN Basketball and yes Cathedral and Jordan are both in AA, the second smallest. If either of them make state they will probably be unseeded and have a hard time making it into the semi's (tv games). Class AA has a point guard at Minnehaha Academy, Jalen Suggs, who is currently rated either 1 or 2 in the nation as a 2020 point guard, Minneapoilis North, the current #1 rated AA team has Tre Holloman who is a Top 2 rated point guard in the class of 2022 and Caledonia has Owen King who is signed to go play at SDSU next year. Its a pretty good class of basketball.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Minnesota section playoffs start this week. By the end of next week should know whether cathedral or Jordan qualify for state. Mn has six classes. Believe Jordan and cathedral are either class 4A or 5A.

They're actually both AA.
