Schmitt, 24, has been playing basketball against CJP's Tuesday night team for years. He has also been playing pickup basketball with and against most of the Wednesday night players for several years as well. "Lou to be honest with you has been a major pain for team CJP over the past few years. We have played against a few of his teams and he usually has gone off for big games against us. Whether it be raining threes from the outside or taking our smaller players into the post, he has been a lot of trouble. Thus thankfully he will be on CJP on Wednesday nights so we can watch and help him score and smile rather than guarding him and getting frustrated when he scores on us on Tuesday nights" said Sondreal in an interview with Kansas Public Radio.
Richey, 33, has played basketball with or against every player on the team at some point in time over the past few months in local pickup games. In fact Richey even attended a few CJP games last summer as a fan and as a good friend of CJP player Joe Ahmadian. He and Joe go way back as the two of them were known in many tennis circles for brief but triumphant two month period in 2012 as the best doubles tennis team from the United States outside of the Williams sisters. "For a guy that is 33, 6'5", and 250lbs John is unusually quick and always on the go. Add that to the fact that he is a lefty, that he has three-point range, and can control the paint, I believe we have added a great basketball player to our team and a player that likely has the best hair in the league as well" said CJP captain Daniel Sondreal in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine.
Richey will be sporting the number 17 and Schmitt will be sporting the number 15.
