Wamego Standout Among Husker Women's Basketball Recruits
By John Nixon

 A five-player recruiting with each ranked among the top 25 nationally by ESPN at their position has earned the Nebraska women’s basketball program its best recruiting class ranking in school history for the Class of 2014.

Tennessee Class 2-AA Player of the Year Jasmine Cincore, Kansas Class 4A Player of the Year Kaylee Page, California prep stars Natalie Romeo and Darrien Washington, and Washington High School standout Chandler Smith are all expected to join Coach Connie Yori’s Huskers as freshmen in 2014-15 after signing National Letters of Intent in the past week.

 Nebraska’s class was ranked No. 16 nationally by ESPN, before the addition of Smith. The 6-0 guard from Washington signed her letter of intent Monday, after being ranked as the No. 62 player in the nation by ESPN. Her addition could propel the Huskers upward in the recruit rankings for 2014 later this week.

Page, a 6-2 senior at Wamego High School in Kansas, was ranked as the No. 13 wing/shooting guard nationally by ESPN. She averaged 20.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.3 blocked shots, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game as a junior. A gifted shooter, Page knocked down 57 three-pointers for the Red Raiders in 2012-13. She helped Wamego to the Kansas Class 4A state championship while playing for her father, Jim Page, who was the Kansas Coach of the Year.

Page chose Nebraska over Stanford and Oklahoma State.
