The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[AU Vikings]

Is Awit Mamer still committed? Also, I heard Cody say on a recent podcast that he would like 14-15 on his roster.

Apparently Awit Mamer is now committed to Emporia State as well.

Coach Schilling adds another to his first recruiting class: https://x.com/kel_ton05/status/1788962779929423971

Cody offered Blake Ellwein from Huron. His dad Jay used to play for Augie:

Previous coach had 3 recruits. Wonder about their status.

2/3 still committed. One from Norfolk, NE changed to NWMSU

Brooke Jensen from Vermilion was originally committed but has since decommitted. Her mom is Becky Flynn-Jensen who was a prolific player from Wakonda.

I know there isn't much discussion of the women's team on this board, but I just watched a Dakota News Now story on the new coach, Matt Vogel. Seems like a logical hire.

What stood out to me was the news that there was a mass exodus after the season with only three players returning for next year. What the heck happened?

Based on the fact that Awit Mamer isn't mentioned in this article I think it's safe to assume he won't be at Augie this fall.

It's still preposterous that it took Augie this long to find a coach for what should be a high level D2 job.

Last year's coach really pulled a Mike Power. Hopefully for your sakes, it doesn't set you as far back as the Mustangs fell.

Glad you brought Awit Mamer up. Since he is not on Verbal Commits, I forgot about him. Looking at his twitter page it appears Awit is still committed to the Viks.

Between graduation and transfers Augustana men lost 7. There are 2 incoming freshmen and 4 transfers incoming. Perhaps Cody is looking for 1 more?

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!
