Coach Schuman: What did you do to prepare for the National Underclassmen Combine? 
Richard Brothers: Well, my uncle told me that there was an upcoming camp. But, when he told me I was still in basketball. So, I told him I would stay after my basketball practices and lift weights and work on getting prepared. So from the day he told me to the day of the camp, I continued to life weights after practice and squats and stuff like that a little running. Thats how I prepared myself.

Coach Schuman:Have you been to the NUC before? How did you do? What were your expectations going into this years event?
