When asked about his commitment to play for the Hurricanes, Waden said:
“I’d like to thank God, my coaches and teammates, my family and my support staff for the opportunity to continue my academic and athletic career at Miami. I chose the U because they showed me love since the beginning of my recruiting process.” Charles said. “Coach Cristobal has a legacy of winning at every program he’s been at, and I’m excited to be a part of it! Go Canes!”
After receiving 30 official Division I offers, Charles chose the Hurricanes over other top programs like LSU, Auburn, Penn State and FSU.
