Somewhere right now in a small Kansas town a young basketball player is chasing his dream.
He’s putting up extra shots, he’s running after practice and he’s learning how to defend. He’s working on his game with one goal in mind. He wants to be the next Dean Wade.
Wade, the breakout junior forward on Kansas State’s basketball team, has a message for that child: Don’t give up.
“I am very proud that young players in this state look up to me and what I have accomplished, growing up in St. John and making it at Kansas State,” Wade said.
