I know the type of basketball player I am, and I know at the school I was at wasn’t going to happen. I know where I want to take my career, I want to play this game for a long time. I know that my best years are in front of me, not behind me,” Page said. Coach Kevin Carroll saw something in Page that caught his attention when he became active in the transfer...
