Ward is an Edmonton native who plays at Western Canada Prep Academy. The Maple Minute recruiting has him as Canada’s top unsigned prospect.
Penn State offered Ward four days before Christmas. Along with Penn State, Ward also has offers from Albany, Chattanooga, Florida Gulf Coast, Long Beach State, New Mexico, Rice, San Diego, San Jose State and UT-Arlington. He also had interest from schools such as Boise State, Buffalo, Missouri, Marquette and Wisconsin. TMM wrote in December that he has a “very strong case for the Canadian Player of the Year award which has been awarded to the likes of David Simon, Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe & Leonard Miller.”
“Ward, who plays for Western Canada Prep Academy, has been dominating the competition in the Grind Session and the Tarkanian Classic,” TMM wrote, “two of the most prestigious high school basketball events in the country. He has shown a versatile skill set, a high basketball IQ, and a killer instinct that has impressed scouts and coaches alike.”
