2021 Zaire Wade

[bigFRED]

Okay, but real question. Taking into account Tim and our school's relationship with the Wade family, why aren't we all over this kid now?? He's obviously going to be a good player and is already, and having pride of going to the same school as your parents is a real thing. We get all over him now showing him love, doesn't that put us in a good spot here in 2 years?

This isn't Gabrielle Union's kid.

[Huskerpapa]

But he still appears to be a good player

We should offer him if we think he's going to be good enough to play here but

 

1. he's from DW's first marriage which ended in a very bitter divorce. Having your kid go to your new wife's college doesn't seems like something that would happen.

2. High end former basketball players tend to have their high end kids go to schools in big cities.. What exactly would Dwayne Wade do in Lincoln during the winter vs Miami or LA? 

 

At the end of the day I think DW's kid ends up at a blue blood if he's that good or else probably a Big East team. Tom Crean also would have an advantage.

[Huskerpapa]

Yes, but Wade is comfortable in Lincoln, and he owns Husker gear.  His ex-wife [I believe] has upper Midwest ties. And I have no clue what that means.  

 

But D-Wade does know we have fantastic facilities and fan support.   So heck, make an offerry and see what happens.

I think Dwayne can afford to buy a few shirts and hoodies for whatever team his son chooses

[FredsSlacks]

doesn't seem to have any offers yet. i would assume we'd at least have a shot given that wade has been on campus multiple times.

[hhcmatt]

We offered 

 

 

[bigFRED]

YO I CALLED THIS ISH

[colhusker]

Will we get him? Most likely not, but without at least offering the answer was 100% no.  At least now we have a sliver of a chance, glad we offered.

[uneblinstu]

I bet we get at least an unofficial out of it.

Probably a couple of football games if he doesn't sign somewhere too early

[hskr4life]

Visiting Sept 1st for the home opener.  Should be a crazy atmosphere.  Night game, Frost warning, Home Opener, New heights.

[bigFRED]

That's actually amazing

[unl]

This is significant. 

[Huskerpapa]

Seems like this could end up being a match made in heaven.   That said, just because step-mom is a huge Husker fan, doesn't make stepson a Husker fan...

I hate to be selfish, but I'd rather see Gabrielle in that Tommie Frazier jersey than Zaire......

you realize he has no other D1 offers right? i would think we have a great shot at this point.

 

 

[49r]

Good stuff from SI about the offer.  (h/t to @Kent Pavelka for this one)

 

 

[colhusker]

First in can't hurt

[Section_316]

Might as well offer his buddy Bronny Jr. at this point.
