UConn Secures Second Five-Star Recruit in Jordan Page
Confirmed
In Short: Five-star wing Jordan Page announced his commitment to the University of Connecticut (UConn) men's basketball team on Sunday, solidifying the Huskies' position as the only program with two five-star recruits this cycle.
Page, a 6-foot-6 small forward from North Carolina who attends IMG Academy in Florida, chose UConn over North Carolina after visiting both schools in September.
During the Adidas 3SSB circuit last spring and summer, Page averaged 16.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game with Garner Road Basketball Club.
UConn coach Dan Hurley's program impressed Page during his visit, shifting the early favorite Tar Heels out of contention.
Page's commitment complements Bowman Jr., a combo guard who announced his decision to join UConn last month.
The Huskies are also bringing back Solo Ball for the 2027-28 season, with Ball redshirting this season due to a wrist injury.
Page's decision is significant as it likely takes UConn out of the running for the top-ranked recruit.
Award-winning journalist Dave, who has covered the Huskies since 2007, noted that Page is the type of player the Huskies coveted, especially with Braylon Mullins' potential departure to the NBA.
Page's commitment marks the first time in at least 20 years that UConn has had two ESPN five-star prospects in a single recruiting class.
The Huskies' recruitment success is a testament to Hurley's ability to attract top talent, with Page's decision further solidifying UConn's status as one of college basketball's top programs.
What's confirmed
- Jordan Page, a 6-foot-5 wing out of IMG Academy in Florida, has committed to the Huskies.
- Page is a lefty wing with a 6-11 wingspan who is exactly the type of player the Huskies coveted, considering Braylon Mullins' likely departure to the NBA after this season.
- The Huskies will be the only program in the country with two five-star recruits so far.
- An award-winning journalist, Dave has covered the Huskies since 2007, including coverage of five Final Fours and four national championships (2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024).
What's still developing
- Page and Bowman should complement each other well, with Page a long two-way wing and Bowman one of the elite scorers in the class.
- “I’m proud of him,” Falcons coach Kevin Stefanski said.
- He went 25-3 as a starter over that stretch, including 14-1 in 2023 while leading the Huskies to the College Football Playoff national championship game.
- UConn men’s basketball coach Dan Hurley weighed in after the Huskies’ practice Tuesday, offering support for the legislation.
- In 2015, Petersen's second season at Washington, the Huskies traveled to Boise State to square off against the program he had spent more than a decade building into a national powerhouse.
- The trip to the blue turf came in the opening week of the season, and the Broncos denied their ex-coach a victory, beating the Huskies, 16-13.
