Marcus Paige enables Linn-Mar to go up-tempo
Posted Nov 27, 2011
Marcus Paige has signed to play point guard for up-tempo college powerhouse North Carolina after he graduates from Linn-Mar of Marion. If the Tar Heels think Paige is a good enough player to run a fast-paced team, Linn-Mar won’t argue that point. “I think Marcus Paige is the best high school point guard in the country, and I would trust him to run a team more than anybody else right now,” said Dave Telep, ESPN senior basketball analyst and national scout.
