Per Pat:

“A lot of schools wanted Cade,” Medved said. “At the end it came down to us and Iowa. And he was already here in early June, working out, becoming a Gopher.”

That dedication was no surprise, considering Cade’s brother Hunter — three years older — has spent three seasons with the Denver Nuggets, a second-round draft choice, although not getting much playing time.
The Tysons are both 6-foot-7. They grew up in Union County, outside of Charlotte. Cade also has a twin sister, Laikyn, a former volleyball player, and she is already teaching in elementary school.

“My brother and I started off in the driveway, on a basket that didn’t have a net … throwing an orange ball in a red hoop," Cade said this week. “Hunter helped me a lot with my shot. So did my dad [Jonathan]. We were just a North Carolina family that loved basketball.”


Go Gophers!!
 


Didn’t he stay home before coming here? Or is Monroe not near UNC?

He left Monroe, NC (Charlotte suburb) to attend/play at Belmont which is in Nashville, TN for his FR & SO years.

He returned to North Carolina which was closer, but still Chapel Hill is 130 miles away from his hometown for his JR year.

I'm glad he's now in Minneapolis for his SR year and not his other finalist, Iowa City.
 

Dear Parker Fox, don’t let Meatsauce bully you around. Go ahead and say ‘ski u mah’ on the morning show. It can be scary but it’s time to stretch.
