Nebraska landed a key commit for its 2014 recruiting class last week when Wamego (Kan.) star Kaylee Page committed to the Huskers. Page confirmed the commit over the phone Monday. At 6-foot-2, Page started as point guard, averaged 21 points and eight rebounds and led Wamego — 15 minutes from Manhattan, Kan — to the 4-A Kansas state title. She’s slated to play small forward, she said, in college. She picked NU over Oklahoma State, Stanford and Kansas, but had many more offers. “I loved the coaches there,” said Page, who called NU assistant Dayna Finch May 15 and head coach Connie Yori shortly after that. “And I really liked the academic part, too. They care a lot about you transitioning to real life after Basketball, and I wanted that.” The Huskers’ new practice facility and arena — arguably the best in women’s college Basketball — played a role, too. “Women’s Basketball is so important there,” Page said. “At a lot of schools, it’s behind men’s Basketball, but at Nebraska’s, it’s clearly really important.” Kaylee’s younger sister, Lanie, is a 2015 prospect. Nebraska’s offered her, too. The two sisters — who play for their dad, Jim Page –combined for 42 points and 17 rebounds in Wamego’s state title game. ...
