High school coach thinks Nick Richards will have ‘monster’ sophomore season

Nick Richard’s high school coach told the Courier Journal that the sophomore center is still developing his instincts and learning to play without thinking, but believes he will have a monster sophomore season.

“Building that confidence and building those positive instincts is just a process,” Mike Rice said. “He’s going to put weight on, and I think he’s going to have a monster sophomore year.”

You may remember Rice from his time as head coach at Rutgers. He now coaches The Patrick School in New Jersey.

Richards has only been playing basketball since he was 13.
