The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

By my count, this would bring the roster to 19, adding the four new players to the returning players and incoming freshmen. Anyone else leaving to make room?

I'm assuming Talley is the No. 1 point guard, and Fried's starting spot is secure. Looking forward to Westmoreland-Vindiola getting increased time. Other than that, who knows.

As of now I would estimate the rotation might look like this:

Talley-Ferrin-Amari-Fried-Nyakundi to start

Martin-Anderson-CJ Armstrong-DeGroot-Kraft-George Ziebell off the bench

Obviously the entire offense will look substantially different than the Tam-centric ball that was largely successful this past season. I'm thinking a decent example might be Ferrin playing the role of Sam in that USF game where Rensch got hot and Cody leaned ALL the way into it. Possibly the ugly win at Winona where Tam was largely removed from the equation and the 3pt shooting wasn't working either so they had to attack the hoop which resulted in a FT heavy affair.

Talley will need to take a leap on both ends but a year spent going against Tam in practice is the best way to prepare for this type of responsibility.
