Eric Schiele is instant offense. When he becomes eligible at the fall semester break, the 5-9 freshman will be a danger to score anytime he comes within 25 feet of the basket. A prolific three-point shooter in high school (he won the Mid-Vike Madness three-point contest this year by making 25-of-29 treys), he has a natural feel for the game that makes him dangerous offensively any time that he has the ball in his hand.
