Continue ReadingOver the summer, one of the players who really left a mark was 2018 prospect Brandon Wade. In fact, according to Keith Wade, who coaches the Michigan Gators Elite program, Brandon’s play was so good that it even got the “dominant” moniker.
Although Wade had already performed well in the past, according to Coach Wade, he really took a step forward this summer. From start to finish, Wade found ways to get inside, finish at the rim, and keep his team rolling.
The college coaches noticed too.
Following his tremendous performance this summer, Wade added a total of four offers and plenty of interest. In particular, he added offers from Akron, Detroit, Kent State, Milwaukee, and Oakland to go along with others from Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Toledo already. Wade has also been getting serious interest from Loyola.

With all of this attention, Wade has been busy this summer. In total, he’s taken visits to Akron, Milwaukee, and Oakland. As of now, it looks like all three schools could be in contention when all is said and done.
Nonetheless, even with his accomplishments this summer, Wade continues to work to improve his game.
“Right now, Brandon’s working on his pull up jumper and his pick-and-roll game,” Coach Wade told Prep Hoops Michigan. “We know he has the ability to get to the hoop with his speed, but he’s looking to take his game to the next level this year.”
During last season’s high school schedule, Prep Hoops Michigan got several chances to evaluate Wade’s game. In particular, his handle along with his ability to drive the lane and get to the line turned him into a difference-maker for Ann Arbor Skyline. Undoubtedly, this was a huge factor him in landing at No. 7 overall in Prep Hoops Michigan’s rankings for the 2018 recruiting class.
Whether Wade can continue his dominant play remains to be seen, but with the work ethic he’s shown already and some major opportunities on the horizon, be on the lookout for the 2018 guard out of Ann Arbor this year.
