Auburn hoopster transferring to RedHawks
Dion Wade, a 6-6, 185-pound guard, will transfer to Miami University and join the men’s basketball program, head coach John Cooper announced Wednesday. Wade is transferring from Auburn University where he played his freshman campaign and will sit out the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer guidelines. He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Last season, Wade came off the bench in all 30 games for the Tigers and averaged 10.9 minutes of action per game. On the season, he averaged 3.0 ppg and 1.3 rpg. His season high was 15 points against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Dec. 30 where he was 4-for-5 from the field, including 4-for-4 from 3-point range.
Originally from Antwerp, Belgium, Wade prepped at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., helping the team to a No. 1 ranking. A McDonald’s All-America nominee at Findlay Prep,
Wade also was a member of the Belgium Junior National Team.
“We are really excited to bring Dion into the fold,” said Cooper. “When you look at Dion, he is a player who has size and he’s got length as well as the ability to really shoot the ball,” Cooper said.
