Cary Wade

He likes Pitt's campus, football facilities, and coaching staff ("They're really down to earth people"). As for Syracuse, Wade says he "wasn't impressed with their facilities. They're spread out, and you have to take a bus to get from one place to another." But he likes the Orange coaching staff, and Syracuse is very strong in Wade's academic field of interest, broadcast communications. "I'd like to go into that, or maybe sports marketing."

Wade has this to say about Virginia Tech: "I like that everything is right together (football facilities). I think I like a rural setting more than a city setting. But I need to get down there and see what it's like on a game day." He will be in Blacksburg for the Boston College, Syracuse, and Miami games, and he will probably officially visit Tech in December or January.

Wade is in no hurry to make a decision, and you can see why. He's got at least three schools (Pitt, VT, and Syracuse) that all look good for various reasons. He has not finalized what five schools he will visit officially.

Also Recruited By: offered by Auburn, also recruited by Richmond and George Mason.
Notables: His HS coach says he more of a scorer than a shooter, a quick player who can slice and dunk with the best of them. No mention of academic status.
