The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

[Augieholic]

Graves looks to have the playmaking abilities the current roster was lacking. Obviously there will be an adjustment period to the level of play and even the officiating but on the surface I love the fit. Tom has no interest in a rebuild, he reloaded.

As is to be expected, I'm excited to see him on the court for the Vikes next season. Welcome to Augustana, Jadan!

Welcome to Augie, Ryan Miller: https://goaugie.com/news/2022/4/20/m...022-class.aspx

Came across this short article about incoming Viking Sam Rensch. Didn't realize how many records he set/broke during his time at Hutchinson: https://www.crowrivermedia.com/hutch...e1ea4f9b7.html

From the article:

Rensch broke or tied 24 HHS boys basketball records this past season, including most points in a game (47), most points in a season (731), most rebounds in a season (278), most career points (1,639), most career rebounds (807), most career assists (201), and most career varsity games played (101). He was also named to the academic all-state team this season.

Apparently he was Jake Hilmer's HS teammate, I'm sure that will be a fiesty matchup.

That's awesome. Augie is gonna need all the PG coaching it can get in coming seasons

I will say Billeter has a sharp eye for quality and class.

Interesting. Looks like he was named an NAIA All-American this season: https://www.gvvikings.com/article/7628

Looking forward to seeing what he does for the Vikes. Welcome to Augie, Ryan!

Could any fellow Viking fans answer a question? With Jameson Byran graduating, among the many guards on the roster which if any are ready to be a primary ball handler at point guard. Does anyone know if the staff is actively recruiting a PG. Jameson was a special player who honed his craft and patiently waited for his time.

In my opinion there is about a 75% chance the starting PG for next season has not yet been revealed. An experienced transfer with more than one season left would be ideal.
