Tragil returned to Chicago, but Dwyane stayed in Robbins with his father. His father had remarried, and Dwyane took a liking to his new home, new family, and new friends.

They soon began dating, remained sweethearts through high school, and eventually would go to senior prom togetherDwyane's senior year of high school was difficult. Although he was playing well enough to earn him seventh place in Illinois' Mr. Basketball voting, his father and stepmother were having marital problems. To make matters worse, Soihvaughn was away at Eastern Illinois completing her freshman year at college.

His play earned him AP All-American honors, Conference-USA Player of the Year, and C-USA Defensive Player of the Year. After his stunning performance in the NCAA tournament against Kentucky, in which he logged only the third triple-double in the tournament's storied history, Wade's stock soared. He was projected as a sure NBA draft lottery pick.

Although it was hard to leave his school, his team, his friends, his coaches- Dwyane decided to forego his senior year at Marquette and enter the NBA draft. The Miami Heat took him in the first round, going 5th overall.
