Is it true that the Lao’s will leave Benilde and will transfer their group to UE? Since they are the one who’s managing their Juniors Program.
If it’s true, would they replace Jack Santiago since he’s the one responsible for most of their recruits right now.
Nope. Already checked with a couple of contacts within the team. Lao's are staying with csb. Tho yes they might take over the ue srs program too and charles tiu might take over the srs team BUT, 2 things are stopping them.
One is jack stantiago, dude has a MAJOR backer within the school managment, that's why the school was patient enought to keep him even with the poor performance and controversies that surrounded him like hurting his players or putting a hit on opponents. It will probably take a major Major blunder for him to get the axe.
2nd lao's are having second thoughts of taking over a team that plays in a mega competitive league with mega competitive backers. It makes no sense for them to dole out funds for team that might not even make it to the final 4. People seem to forget that besides dlsu, admu and up who has solid backing, nu with the sy's and adamson with akari and heck even ust now with the smc are a couple of teams that can be competitive as well. When it comes to ue's jrs and wvt, both programs don't face that much competition when it comes to other team's sponsorhip in their respective leagues so they have a chance to be much more competitive, so they had no problem taking over those programs. Remember, the Lao's want to win, that's why they started with lsgh then with csb since they have a better chance of winning something in the ncaa than with uaap.
Not to mention, they want to see first if charles tiu can indeed win. He fumbled season 99 big and if he doesnt win by season 100, whatever stock he built will be down the drain. Its worth nothing that both charles tiu and aldin ayo's contract both end in 2 years, same with ue jrs karl santos and letran's allen ricardo.
And yess if jack santiago leaves expect an exodus of guys leaving too specially the filfors and remogat. Good thing momowei is a phenom boy so expect him to stay.
Still things can change, goals can be aligned somewhere else but for now they are committed to all the teams in their umbrella: Csb srs and wvt, Letran Squires(tho i heard, with delta coming in, they'll pass on the managment of the team to delta and his group, might go back to lsgh), ue jrs and wvt, farm fresh foxies, farm fresh u18 in psl.
