Quick Facts: Zach Auguste is a starting senior forward from Massachusetts. Second on the team in scoring with 13.2 points per game and first in rebounds with 9.8, Auguste is vastly important to the Irish’s future success this season, considering he is one of their only true big men. Auguste has been disappointing compared to how he finished last season, but has still shown flashes that he can be great again for the Irish down the stretch.

Zach Auguste’s Twitter is fine, but honestly much less entertaining than I expected, especially based on Auguste’s emotional and fun personality on the court. There were a couple gems I was able to uncover, though:

Zach Auguste was just as upset about the potential death of a beloved The Walking Dead character as I was at the time, so I think all fans of that show can connect on an emotional level with Zach.

Here we see Zach and friends enjoying a fun dance party. Zach is clearly the ring leader, giving him dibs on this video as being part of his personal Twitter brand (and since he tweeted it out originally, he gets some bonus points). His integral place in the video brings out the best in all of his teammates, who all do a little something different as they dance. Zach clearly has some rhythmic ability and the natural magnetism to have friends swarm to him for dance parties. Both things are great for his brand.

Zach also tweeted back in February of 2014 about his thoughts on George Lopez, and I think we can all agree on this one.

Four crying laughing emojis indeed, Mr. Auguste!

Zach Auguste a fool, as well. And in the best way.
