FULL SHOW: Gronowski's One Shrine-ing Moment, Augie coach Cody Schilling, Prep Hoops with Nate Kaeding

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Why not one more win for the winningest quarterback in the history of college football?   It was "One Shrine-ing Moment" for former South Dakota State and Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski on Tuesday. Playing in the Cowboys' indoor training camp stadium in Frisco, Texas — the same town Gronowski led the Jackrabbits to the school's only national championships in football — Gronowski earned the all-star game's Offensive MVP honor.   Playing for just over a quarter, the 2023 FCS Walter Payton Award winner led two scoring drives, threw a couple nifty downfield darts, eluded multiple backfield defenders on an 18-yard first down scramble on 3rd-and-7, and threw down a vicious block for his running back on a touchdown.   So, considering this was an event created to show off college players' talents against other NFL Draft prospects, what did this do for Gronowski's draft stock? What are his chances of even being drafted? How much did his year at Iowa — unremarkable stats, several "winning" moments, 10 touchdowns, seven interceptions for a 10-4 team — help or hurt his stock?    Happy Hour's host pours through reviews of NFL analysts and looks back to remarks on Gronowski's strengths and weaknesses made by Happy Hour guests like former Hawkeye and NFL quarterback Chuck Long, plus Sanford Sports Academy football director and Gronowski family friend Kurtiss Riggs.   Then, it's time to talk basketball. The Happy Hour host, a die-hard Nebraska basketball fan, explains why he considers the fifth-ranked Cornhuskers and even more-for-real national championship contender — you read those words correctly — after suffering their first loss of the season at No. 3 Michigan last night, 75-72.   Cody Schilling Augustana's all-time leading scorer when he graduated from the school in 2012, Schilling has his alma mater rolling in his second year as head coach. After growing pains of a 12-18 rookie campaign, the former Tom Billiter player and assistant coach has led the Vikings to a 12-7 record and 10-4 mark in the Northern Sun, good for third-best out of 16 teams.    Augie has won four consecutive games, all on the road, and returns to the Elmen Center for home contests against Bemidji State on Friday night and Minnesota-Duluth on Saturday afternoon.   In a 40-minute interview on the floor where he poured in hundreds of points, Schilling explains how his second squad is surging behind likely All-NSIC first team guard Tameron Ferguson, who is at or near the top of several offensive categories, including third in scoring (21.5 points). In-state recruits like Mitchell's Caden Hinker and Marcus Talley are also in the mix.   All this while Schilling's wife is eight months pregnant, with a due date right around the regular season finale against arch-rival Sioux Falls and the NSIC Tournament in February.   Nate Kaeding Kaeding, a former Div. I assistant coach at North Dakota and Chris Johnson's former associate head coach at USF, tutors some of the best high school boys talent in the region as a club coach and the basketball coordinator at Sanford Sports Academy. For this, Kaeding is a local TV prep game analyst for both Midwest Sports Plus and SDPB.   Through half of the regular season, who are some of the best boys basketball players in Class AA, according to Kaeding? It starts at No. 1 Lincoln (10-0) and the Patriots' terrific trio of Augustana commits Sam DeGroot and Sam Ericsson, plus SDSU football commit Brody Schaefer. Meanwhile, two Patriots from last season's 22-2 squad are now key cogs at No. 2 Roosevelt (10-1) — DeAndre Painter and Justin Bilal.   And no conversation about South Dakota high school roundball is complete without the versatile 6'10 SDSU commit Blake Elwein of Huron. Kaeding breaks down all of their games, plus several others, and reacts to the recent "soon to retire" announcement from O'Gorman coaching legend Derek Robey.
