<p><strong>Chris Miers</strong> has emerged as a strong candidate to break out this spring and summer. Coming off a productive junior season, the versatile and athletic wing was a standout in last week's NOVA Cavaliers Scrimmage in front of a handful of D3 coaches. We got to know Miers a little better during a recent interview in which he discussed his overall game, goals, and much more.</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>For those who haven't seen you play, how would you describe your overall game?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "I like to see myself as a two way player. I can get after it on defense as well as score the ball. I can get my teammates involved, just space out the floor and look for open shots."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>How tall are you?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "I'm about 6'1."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What's your wingspan?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "About 6'5." </p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>How well would you say you shoot the ball?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "I feel like I shoot it pretty well. I feel like my three has gotten better. I think my mid range is probably my best in terms of scoring."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What do you think you need to work on right now?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "Definitely my ball-handling. And just probably my stamina."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>How are your grades?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "My grades are good. I have a 3.6 right now. A's and B's." </p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>Who's recruiting you?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "Its slow right now. I wouldn't say too many are reaching out, but a few D3's have."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>Which schools have reached out?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "Randolph Macon and Carnegie Mellon."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>Do you know what you want to study in college?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "Not yet."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What are your goals?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: "Just get a lot of looks, improve my game, and be the best I can be."</p>
<p><strong>PH</strong>: <em>What do you think you can bring to a college program?</em></p>
<p><strong>CM</strong>: Athleticism, defense, shooting, and getting things done on the floor that need to be done."</p>
