The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

If you're inferring that Augustana is some kind JC for USD, I believe you are wrong. He merely would have walked on if being a Coyote was his ultimate goal

I 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.

Is that while playing at Augie or after he transfers to USD in a year?

Could give a rats a$$ where he is from... You will know how to pronounce his name very soon, after he draining bucket after bucket on the Stangs!

#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...
