Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
Posted it in the 2018 recruiting thread, but Michael Schaefer just committed to the Vikes. I'll post the same thing I posted there:
Guessing this rounds out the 2018 recruiting class for the Vikes, which, on paper, seems to be a group with a ton of potential.

According to Verbal Commits, Schaefer had offers from St. Cloud, Moorhead, SMSU, Northern, Mankato, and USF. I believe he had visited St. Cloud a few weeks ago and Mankato a week or two before he visited Augie.
Based on the offer list, he must be pretty talented.
Anyway, that puts the Vikes 2018 class at:
SD:
-Trevor Hanson (#1 ranked SD 2018)
-AJ Plitzuweit (#3 ranked SD 2018)
-Dylan LeBrun (#5 ranked SD 2018)
MN:
-Michael Schaefer (#17 ranked MN 2018, and, from what I can tell, currently the highest ranked MN kid to go D2...but I'd imagine that will change before the final rankings come out)
-Eric Tiedman (#29 ranked MN 2018)
Also, we have the early commitment from MN 2019 Jaeden King, who I gather would've been a sought-after recruit if he hadn't committed early.
Shaping up to be a pretty special group for the Vikes if they can piece things together. Exciting times ahead.

Augustana picks up a commitment from a JUCO guard with a reputation for defensive play.http://verbalcommits.com/schools/augustana

Between King, incoming freshman Matt Cartwright and 2018 commit A.J. Plitzuweit, we could have some pretty salty long-range shooters for the next several years.
Also discovered that King's highlight reel (from a few posts ago) is actually from before his sophomore year. Didn't realize it was from Oct. 2016 until just now. I'd imagine his shot will continue to get quicker/smoother over the next two years.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings
Heard something about a change in scholarship payouts that really benefits a school like Augie. Essentially, any academic financial aid a student-athlete receives no longer counts towards the maximum scholarship limit. Starting in 2018, only institutional athletics aid is counted against individual and team equivalency limits.

Here's a highlight film I found from an AAU tournament. Seems to be primarily a shooter with some weirdly long (in a good way) arms.

Originally posted by Augieholic View PostYou've spoken highly of Moorhead's incoming recruiting class several times, would you mind breaking it down in more detail so I can gauge if it's on the Schilling-Jansen level or just a bunch of paper tigers?
Simon Sem - 6'4" - wing from Fargo. Committed to NDSU early junior year, then apparently changed his mind thinking he should play the field. Injured knee early in senior season - missed most of senior season. Still Mr. Bball finalist. Very long and athletic. Sees court very well.
Gavin Baumgartner - 6'4" - wing. Had numerous NSIC offers. Similar to Sem, long and can guard multiple positions. Very good outside shooter. One of highest rated wings in MN not to go D1. Second team all-state AAAA. led team to 3rd place in state AAAA (highest class). Rumored to have interest from various D1 during recruiting.
Jesse Bergh - 6'10" - center. Home schooled kid did not play basketball until sophomore in high school. Needs to learn the game more but has good tools. Very good hands and feet. Think he can be quality big in a few years when he gets stronger' etc.
