Schmitt is the TYPE of big Pedon wants. Rolls off screens and plays with back to the basket. Fundamentally, he is sound. He lacks some of the quickness needed but as 2011 says, if he's a leader of the scout team next year and a positive influence in the locker room, I'm cool with him using his final year as a Redbird. If he makes a jump and competes for minutes, that would be icing on the cake.I guess we still don’t have 100% confirmation on Kotov or Sissoko. Though if either is done with basketball we may not get it any time soon since nothing has to be announced. Schmitt wouldn’t surprise me to return. If he’s in a similar role to last year I’m fine with it. He’s a good dude and teammate.
Pedon has 5 to fill right now (assuming Kotov and Sissoko are gone). I'd rather that not go to 6.
