UConn men's basketball lands commitment from top Class of 2027 recruit Jordan Page

The University of Connecticut's men's basketball program has secured another significant commitment from a top Class of 2027 recruit, Jordan Page. The 6-5 wing, who stands at 6-11 with an 6-11 wingspan, is widely regarded as the 247Sports.com No. 12 overall prospect. Following a preseason game in Las Vegas, Page announced his commitment to UConn on NBA TV.

Page, a left-handed athlete, is described as a dynamic player who is still young for his grade - he won't turn 18 until May. Although not known for his long-range shooting abilities, he is considered a versatile athlete who can contribute significantly to the Huskies' lineup. Page's decision to join UConn came after visits to both North Carolina and Storrs, with Hurley and his staff evidently succeeding in capturing the recruit's interest.

Page's commitment strengthens UConn's position in the 247Sports' 2027 team recruiting rankings, as the Huskies will be the only program in the nation with two five-star recruits so far. With NaVorro Bowman Jr. joining Page, UConn will have a formidable duo potentially ready to compete at the highest level.
