PrepHoopsNC had the chance to catch up with the big man this week and discuss the season so far.
PrepHoopsNC: How’s the season going so far? Record, averages….?
Nathan Springs: I am averaging 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.
PrepHoopsNC: What game has been the toughest so far and which other players in your conference do you think can play?
Nathan Springs: The toughest game so far would have had to been this past Friday against Hough High School. It went into double overtime, it took mental and physical toughness to pull it out. I think we can keep up with the top teams in our conference, we have the ability to win games and grind them out.
PrepHoopsNC: . What schools have you been hearing from?
Nathan Springs: I’ve heard from and seen Clemson, College of Charleston, East Carolina, Tennessee, Campbell, UNC-Greensboro, William and Mary, Princeton, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Boston University.
PrepHoopsNC: What do you feel that you have improved on since last season and his summer?
Nathan Springs: Since the summer I’ve improved on my timing on shot blocking and quicker reactions.
PrepHoopsNC: What are the parts of your game that set you apart from other players.
Nathan Springs: I think the parts of my game that set me apart from other players are that I’m a quick big, I have the ability to lead the defense down the court by running the floor, I can finish inside (I have to remain consistent), but if you leave me open from the outside I also have the ability to knock down the 3.
