When Owootoah ends up at Union College we'll see. Paige was a stud, very unique for the mountains. No the team lost to a well coached, solid Buckhorn team but that has nothing to do with him.

Coach Hatcher knew Paige was a gamble. But lord, he could jump. System teams rarely
adjust quickly to the addition of a teammate who hasn't learned that system through habitual rote practice. Then, add the expectations placed on that team because the addition is an obvious stud (albeit, also an obvious ball hawg).... Well, it is the age old formula for an upset-Highly ranked team with Stud upset by team play. Perhaps Paige will eventually encounter other great athletes and learn how to find his best team role.
Paige's problem will never plague Owootoah whose quickness transcends his jumping ability. Understanding that he is a short guard, Owootoah already has the skill set necessary for his position. After facing more athletic competition for a while, Owootoah (much like Farmer, Donovan and Pitino) will learn how to let the game come to him. As we used to say in the 14th region: He can jump, but can he play?
