Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
Sorry to the non-Augie fans that couldn't care less about incoming Augie recruits, but for the Augie fans who do find it interesting, a few updates from some recent games.
AJ Plitzuweit of Vermillion, SD, dropped 37 points, 13 boards, 6 assists and 5 steals in a win last night, including a 20-point 2nd quarter. It was against a South Dakota team, so I'm sure simple as a $3 has little to no respect for that statline, but I was impressed nonetheless.
And in case simple was worried about the Vikes going so SD-focused, I have good news from Minnesota (not the Cities, as simple correctly corrected me on). Incoming Viking Michael Schaefer from St. Cloud Cathedral, who was heavily recruited by most of the NSIC schools, dropped 39 points (19-24 from the FT line) on his crosstown rivals last night. So far, Schaefer is averaging 27 ppg after 4 games.
Other updates include Eric Tiedman of Jordan, MN, scoring 19 points in all three games he's played so far for an easy-to-calculate 19 ppg. Dylan LeBrun of Flandreau, SD, put up 32 points and 21 boards in a win last weekend (as mentioned in a previous post) and had 14 points, 14 boards, 6 assists and 3 steals for an average of 23 ppg and 17 rpg to start the year.
Trevor Hanson is the one kid who is particularly hard to find stats for. Believe he had 24 points in his first game and a quiet 10 points, 8 boards in game #2 for Sioux Valley (SD team).
Also, 2019 commit Jaeden King of Cretin-Derham Hall in MN has had a handful of really solid games, especially for only being a junior in the state's biggest class in some high-profile match-ups. His shooting touch is fantastic. He and current Viking Matt Cartwright could be a lethal shooting duo in a few years.
Anyway, I know this probably comes off as an annoying post to non-Augie fans. For example, I don't really care to read about SMSU's recruits when Stanger posts them in the SMSU thread (sorry Stanger), but I know there are Augie fans who might care, and it's fun to see what's coming down the pipeline for the Vikes. And since it's not always easy to gather up the info (it's amazing how little detail certain newspapers include about games/players/points/etc.), I figured throwing it on here from time to time might be helpful for others so they don't have to try to sift and sort through it themselves.
Or maybe I'm the only one who cares. :)
