"Bland was a First Team All Region selection as just a sophomore, and he’s a name to keep an eye on in the Roanoke/New River Valley area...Bland is highly skilled as he’s shifty off the bounce and can create space, he’s a dead eye shooter from deep both off the catch and off the bounce and he’s a crafty finisher over bigger defenders when he gets downhill." 

- Jack Herron, Prep Hoops 

"Wade Bland as skilled as a PG as there is!"

"2025 name to know in VA and beyond"

- Corey Stitzel,  Head Coach, Virginia Premier AAU Basketball, and former College Head Coach and D1 Assistant

"‘25 Wade Bland (Virginia Warriors) runs a team with poise and unselfishness. Displays patience, vision, and the ability to consistently make the right read. Crafty passer, active defender, and capable shooter."

- Jeff Bendel, Director of Player Analysis, Phenom Hoops
