The video that Wade tweets out features him trying out gear of several different teams that he was considering: Tennessee, Pitt, West Virginia, and UCLA. In the end, though, Wade reveals a Penn State hat and shouts out the iconic "We Are" chant.
Wade is an absolutely enormous commitment for Penn State, as he is now their highest-rated recruit by far. Penn State is currently ranked third in the Big Ten in recruiting, and while Wade isn't the first five-star commit on head coach James Franklin, it is a good sign that Penn State won't be dropping off any time soon after an 11-2 season and a Big Ten title this year.
With Wade, Penn State now has 18 commitments for the 2017 recruiting class.
