Cade is an electric combo guard with a lethal scoring arsenal and a game built on explosiveness. He is a relentless offensive threat, whether draining deep threes or attacking the rim with force. His shiftiness and quickness make him nearly unguardable in open spaces, allowing him to create separation with ease. Cade’s high basketball IQ and sharp court vision set him apart, enabling him to drop pinpoint dimes while making smart decisions under pressure. Defensively, his instincts are elite—jumping passing lanes, drawing charges, and crashing the boards with purpose. He thrives in transition, turning defense into offense at a moment’s notice.
Last season, Cade put up monster numbers, averaging 24.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while shooting 49% from the field and 32% from deep. Cade's performance earned him 4th Region All-Season, 4th Region All-Tournament, 4th Region All-A Team, and 16th District All-Season and All-Tournament honors. He also racked up multiple Player of the Game awards, dominated Christmas tournaments, and hit the 1,000-point milestone as a sophomore, pouring in 755 points that year alone.
So far in the season, Cade is building on that success with 23.0 PPG, 55.2% FG, 38.5% from three, 77.2% FT, 3.4 RPG, and 4.9 APG. HCade's biggest improvement has been his three-point consistency and his leadership, stepping into a role where he elevates those around him. Cade's goals are to win as many games as possible, take the district, make a deep regional run, and prove his team belongs at the highest level. A 4th Region All-A title is also on the radar, pushing Cade to bring even more fire every night.
Cade’s passion for the game has driven him to be a gym rat since day one. Growing up with a father who coached high school basketball, Cade lived in the gym, absorbing every detail from the bench and huddles. That fuels Cade's fire, and adversity only adds to that fire. The best advice Cade has ever received is, "Hard work always wins." That mindset is his approach—constant growth, relentless dedication, and a hunger to compete at the next level.
I asses that Cade’s skill set will help him transition easily to the next level. Cade's ability to score at all three levels, combined with his quick first step and elite ball-handling, makes him a nightmare for defenders. Cade's improved three-point shot adds another layer to his already dynamic game, while his high IQ ensures he’s always a step ahead. Defensively, his instincts and effort will be an asset to any team looking for a two-way playmaker. Cade will bring instant offense, high-energy defense, and leadership. Cade's competitive edge and work ethic make him the type of player that elevates a program. With his drive and relentless approach, whichever school lands him, he will be getting a dynamic difference-maker ready to make an explosive impact.
