Quote from Coach Billeter was kind of funny:

In case you missed it there is a basketball media day video on the athletic website first Krauth talks followed by Billeter.

Twin Cities high schools have hockey teams, lots of them

Serious question. Do high schools in SD have hockey teams?

As a non-hockey guy, I'm amazed at how big youth hockey is here (in Sioux Falls at least). I would imagine Augie is hoping local D1 hockey increases that interest.

Hockey is NOT an officially sanctioned sport by the South Dakota High School Activities Association (SDHSAA), but there is both boys and girls amateur hockey in the state.

We (Midco Sports) will have periodic behind-the-scenes updates in the coming months until puck drop in fall 2023. Enjoy!

Cool tweet from first-year assistant coach Cody Schilling:

Cool thing about the assist and defensive rebound records at Mitchell is that Hinker plays at the same school former NBA star Mike Miller played for in high school. Not that Miller was a world famous passer or rebounder, but cool that Hinker had to jump a long-tenured NBA player to achieve some of those milestones.

A few other pretty talented NSIC guys as well like Jared Miller, Jordan Miller and Ryan Krome

MrAugustana. Great job posting all the tweets and highlights of Viking commits. Looks like Billeter and staff have delivered the goods. This season could be better then some think as well.

For Augie fans interested in this 2022 recruiting class, here are some tweets I dug up for the three recent commits. I posted a few tweets about Rensch and McDonald earlier in the thread. We'll see how long I'm able to stay logged in before I randomly get logged out. Might take me a few tries.

Good looking player. I can see why NW was interested. He fits the Hawkins, Dreamer, etc. profile. Looks to have a little Larry Bird-esque release on the shot. Would have been fun to watch him play for NW.
