Yeah, I get your point, and his health should definitely come first. But if we're just talking about the kind of attitude and determination you want on your team, who would you rather have between the two?

It’s a team decision not to field Puno.

Yeah, well, I think that their decision not to play Puno against CSB is also their way of saying they gave up. Maybe that's why the boys played with no energy or urgency to win that game at all. We all know we can't win that game without Puno.

At least SAn Beda will have a puncher's chance of winning with a Jomel Puno. The 2 losses to CSB in the eliminations were very close at least for almost 36 minutes of the game. Then SAn Beda will just collapse in the closing minutes with Ancheta and Ynot hitting big shot after big shot. This benching made Jomel Puno looked bad. I cant imagine a Robert Bolick or a Javee Mocon sitting it out for this very important game.

Ive said this before and ill say it again. 2 things were missing with san beda this year. The jacob cortez factor and the lack of a good big man rotation.
Last season, when the offense broke down, you had a jacob cortez that can still take over and you know will make the shot. This year when the play breaks down, benilde just knew to stick to their man and grab the boards since they know that beda dont have anyone that can be consistent enough to make those shots
Season 99 you had a jopia, cuntapay, visser to help andrada and puno at the post. Even with your shooters missing, big chance that these bigs will give you a second chance opportunity and defensive anchors in the paint. In the last game benilde basically had no trouble scoring in the paint, they had 52 points. Liwag and everybody else had no challenge in the post.
san beda's supposed vets also disappeared. You know you're in trouble when the usual headache aj royo topscored and had more points than andrada and payosing combined (11 pts), that and puno also not playkng. Tbh even charles tiu and benilde were surprised he didnt play, but i get it, prolly dont want to risk his career out of it.

I think all of this happened because of the questionable player selection. SBU did not get anything from their bench players. RC and Sajonia are hit-or-miss, his brother is a non-factor, and the same goes for Jalbuena, Sollano, and Tagala. Why are they even on the main team if they cannot perform? Yuri's biggest mistake was not elevating Etulle, Hawkins and Lopez to Team A.
Cortez bailed Yuri out last year when his head was about to roll. Without Cortez, we wouldn’t have won Season 99. His individual play is what this year's team is missing.
The amount of entitled San Beda fans trashing a player for not playing while hurt. Then the same fans heckling players for leaving. Players should put themselves first because none of these schools would put their players interests over their own. San Beda needs to live with the fact they are being out spent by other schools now and they are already in the ncaa. Its hard to have that sense of entitlement when other programs have been doing and offering more.

This is the reality. Cant blame anyone leaving for a bigger deal or better opportunity. Heck San Beda has its doors open to transferees as well.
its only here and one fan thats been questioning jomel's absence.. i havent seen any post in the 3 biggest Bedan community socmed groupds about jomel.. fyi

Its really the hypocrisy with some of these bedans. Calling out the loyalty of these guys, branding them as mukhang pera. And what exactly is wrong with chasing after the bag? When its been decades that this program has been offering packages and what not with mvp's and their booster's money. The same people calling benilde the pirates when in reality their program have also taken in transferees of their own. Lmao just funny as hell comversing with some of these holier than thou idiots in the comm sections. Them losing to benilde just magnified how sore losers they are after everything.

Lol, what? We only accept transferees now because of what happened to the Red Cubs program, we lost our main source of players. The majority of our players were homegrown before that. Lmao. What do you do when your main source of players gets funneled to other schools? You recruit transferees, of course. What a joke.
And if you want to banter with those bedans, do it on soc med, talk to them. Not in here. Lmao.

Geez stop being defensive. If you're not one of those bedans then you dont need to get butthurt with what i said. Anyways you said majority of your guys are homegrown so that means you still get non bedan players right? And as ive already said lets not he hyporcrites when it comes to players making their decision to play somewhere else. That wasnt the first time players will leave and that wont be the last time either. I guess you just have adapt to the times now where its normal to choose where players want to play. Anyways werent your pipeline too big? That some guys like valencia and oftana had to move to other schools because your program can only offer team b spots at best? Real talk, if you guys didnt sack inigo and company, most of those guys like sanchez, ynot etc would have stayed no problem. Instead you accuse em of what funneling ? I mean were talking about guys like serrano, mara or cajucom or morales? Those guys werent gonna make your team a after all and their people just want wants best for their kids. The best prospects would have probably stayed had your management didnt make that drastic decision and with what happened your fellow bedans still pass the blame to the kids. Lmao talk about your management being accountable lol.

He's prolly one of those bedans who passes off anyone that have played even just a semester for san beda alabang as a bedan legend lmao hahs theres even that one guy who told me even escamis was a proud bedan like the guts of these people claiming everyone haha
fair enough, its just that San Beda has to look at themselves in the mirror. They dont have the pull like they used to as the other teams have stepped up.

Exactly, gone are the days when it was only them thats being sponsored by someone in the league. They gotta accept that other schools have stepped up and are here to compete. It aint only about san beda anymore, as far as im concerned, ncaa now is a 10 deep league. With more schools being as desirable for any recruit. I mean the first finals without them or letran in 20 years should be evidence enough. Another should be the the quality of haul every team has for season 101. Everyone, and i mean everyone will just about play quality recruits of their own. So instead of them bitchin in social media, they should instead help their team up in building their program by either scouting for talent or chipping in like what one mapua is doing. Mvp money will no longer be enough to bring in talent.
