John Wade III brings two-way juice and a polished all-around game to Southern Miss
Wade profiles as a tough, versatile guard who can score, rebound, and create, with a proven high-end ceiling after averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.3 steals in 2023-24 at Stanislaus State. His differentiators are his ability to impact the game in multiple ways, a strong feel as a secondary creator, and defensive activity that shows up in steals and rebound production for a guard. He also delivered a 31-point, 11-rebound breakout and earned All-CCAA honorable mention, which suggests he can be a momentum player when he gets rolling.[1][5]
