Kevin Love is an exception, there are many local AAU team who are playing right now. They are getting ready for April Travel Tournament where HS kids are recruited by different colleges. It might not be a bad idea to go to this tournament and recruit some Fil Ams. This April - there is a big tournament in Colorado and Las vegas. The only problem is if the kid is good in AAU team , they are most likely being recruited by D1 schools in US. The benchwarmers but tall Fil am are the once willing to play in RP since competition is not as competetive as here in US. A better way may be allowing Fil Ams to train here and go to school here ( US) and on summer or spring break play with the RP youth team in the Philippines.
After College, it might be easier to recruit Fil Ams. Most of this kids are not going to the NBA so they might choose RP instead of Europe .

That'd be a great idea. The RP Youth Team against top college teams. Maybe Coach Franz could bomb on our players.
Coach Franz: Puñeta, Simon. You're out of the team!!!

the problem is, they could be out of sched. the tournament they are intending to join is fast approaching and they are still scampering for the right chemistry. i believe, letting them play overseas is somewhat letting the kids feel what is it playing away from home.rhk111 said:

That's a good point. But I think it could be a lift for this young kids to play with UAAP and NCAA cagers to let them know how to play in the collegiate ranks because they'll be in that point after a couple of years.

...Mr Pedro Penduko who won on this 2nd scrimmage with Hooptown?
Kyle Pascual is going play for a JC close to his home but he might play for the RPYT this summer.
Hooptown edged the RPYT, 72-70, in the 2nd game.

Guys, Coach Jack's with Coach Franz and the rest of the RP Youth Team coaching staff in LA. It could either be Coach Tyrone or Coach Joey Sta. Maria. But I think they'd work hand in hand because I believe Coach Tyrone's the swingmen/tweener coach while Coach Joey's inclined on coaching our bigmen.

2 Fil-Am reinforcements for National Youth five due
Two foreign high school players with Filipino roots will beef up the Nokia Philippine Youth Team set to compete in the Southeast Asian Basketball Association (Seaba) youth tournament in Kuala Lumpur on May 1.
Canada’s Norbert Torres and Kyle Pascual of California have been tapped to join the under-18 squad after impressive performances during tryouts in the United States.
The two recruits are expected to arrive in Manila soon, team officials told the Philippine Daily Inquirer recently.
Torres is a versatile 6-foot-6 big man who averages five blocks a game for the Mother Teresa High School in Ontario, while Pascual is a brawny 6-foot-5 forward playing for Esperanza High School in Anaheim.
Mentored by De La Salle University’s multi-titled coach Franz Pumaren, the youth team will arrive Thursday after a two-week training at the renowned Joe Abunassar Impact Basketball in Carson City, California.
The squad also competed in tune-up games versus the Hooptown International Youth Basketball All-Stars, a group of varsity Fil-Am players that included Pascual.
Before leaving for the US, the youth team lost four games playing as a guest squad in the PBL.
Bannered by team captain Frank Golla of Ateneo de Manila University, La Salle Zobel’s Jed Manguera, University of the Philippines’ Mark Lopez and Joseph Marata, Xavier’s Gabriel Banal and Sacred Heart-Cagayan de Oro’s Philip Paredes, the squad will play four more matches in the amateur league starting April 10.

Great additions for our youth team. No surprise with Kyle Pascual's inclusion as Pumaren and SBP were impressed with this kid prior to the squad going to the states.

I agree. Good additions to the team. They will provide a decent inside presence. While they don't have that much height, the team looks taller across the board. Can't wait to see them play alongside Paredes, Golla and Jovet Mendoza. Kyle Pascual will be a big SF/PF and will help draw the defense to the perimeter. He and Paredes can alternate at that spot, with Torres, Golla, and Mendoza doing a center by committee.
BTW, where's Monachini? I thought Pumaren had him all but locked up.

I found a video of Norbert Torres. I follow Toronto high school basketball a little bit but I've never heard of him.
btw OFSAA the tournament his team is playing in, is the Ontario championship tournament, not sure where they finished.
