There is a good YouTube transfer portal reel of him that was recently posted online and he definitely flashed some skill in games this year (Sage can’t say the same). Sometimes it takes big guys longer to come around and adjust to this level and maybe he never will. But what’s the real downside? Besides, Bandaogo is locked into the 5 spot - so good luck trying to sell a ton of experienced, starter-level guys 15-18 mins off the bench. Sign me up if the staff wants him and he wants to come.
But Brendel has said in the past that in his experience, low motor guys usually don't change and Page seems to be a low motor player. If that's why Brendel isn't too high on him, I can understand that.

I still say that while a big is a must for defense and rebounding , you need a floor leader to set the defense and actually get a pass inside to the big. Or play pick & roll.

Someone on Twitter pointed out, and I agree with them, that the whole fan base was hyped and wanted this guy coming out of HS and suddenly people don't think he's good enough.

Brendel often says that rebounding and energy are two of the things that best translate to college, because guys who give high effort in high school are going to give you that in college. Conversely, it's hard to change low motor guys. if they don't give much energy before they show up, they generally aren't going to turn into high energy guys once they arrive.
That's the best I can come up with for why he wouldn't be a fan.
I am mostly with Brendel on this. Looking at recent history, it seems like Wes is willing to take low motor guys and try to get them to change their ways, but his success rate isn't great. Even the successes have been guys who do enough elsewhere to justify playing them despite them missing a box out or not going for a rebound now and then (I'm thinking of Nolley and Simas).

To me he's 6'11 and has some skill, you get him, send him to Rehfeldt for the summer and see what happens. If he can displace McKinley, you have a starter at 4. If he can't, you have a decent backup at 5. We have no true center coming in and finding height in the portal can be a challenge.

He might have been over ranked coming of high school but for he fills a need for UC and is probably a long term player. Looks like he's turning out to be more of a project than people thought he would be. Also, Andy Enfield had one foot out the door all season so who knows where the coaching effort was with Page.Last edited by Lobot; 04-14-2024, 01:11 PM.

“Oklahoma transfer Milos Uzan has committed to Houston, he announced on Instagram. One of the best point guards in the portal -- averaged 9.0 points and 4.4 assists this past season. Kelvin Sampson needed a Jamal Shead replacement in the lineup and now he has one.”
