UST just made a move to pry away Jomel Puno from Mendiola.
UST offer made known to MVP.
i doubt it. there were reports Puno's family just want him to play at least 3 years in collegiate basketball then and turn pro. it will be counter productive if he transfers to another league and sit down for 1 year. plus, i dont see his personality will mesh well with some UST players. he is a shy type of guy and very low key.
Actually his perfect role would be the same as how he plays in feu. Yeah I think the community expected too much from him since he is a beast in his residency year.
Sajonia played decent in the first round where he was the team’s leading scorer for the first five games. He is still SBU’s best perimeter defender.
What many didn’t noticed was the high expectations coaches had for Nygel. He was last year’s second PG after Alfaro. He was supposed to be the default starting PG this season. But he struggled. Like Jomel, Nygel is also hesitant and his decision making was suspect. As we can see Yuri had to put in different PGs in the starting five to compensate Nygel’s inconsistencies.

After transforming ST BENILDE BLAZERS into a title contender for the past 2 years or so, the Strong Group Athletics will end its sponsorship next year.
“One last run, win or loss, bibitaw na sila Boss Jacob at Boss Frank (Lao) sa Benilde. They want to give others the chance”.
The other day Converge official said that Delta is set to takeover as new coach instead of the rumored Charles Tiu.
Maybe Frank was disappointed with what happened in CSB and instead hired Delta.
Frank can’t hire Delta. Delta does what ever he wants. But Charles don’t deserve a promotion
Latest on yuks and jom. They will play one last yr but yuks will go javillionar route. Will apply for the draft.

That Miller/Puno forward combo is gonna tough.
Jimmy Janti and Jom will be deadly. Then insert Ronrei.

J-FORCE. HAHAHAHA. The big difference will be our bench next season. Question is who will be demoted into team B.
The most obvious demotion is Jalbuena and probably Bonzi because of impending return of Tolentino and Etulle. Both play the same positions as Jalbuena and Bonzi but are more experienced. Sollano and Gentles are both projects so you only need one of them.
Culdora and Richi are candidates for demotions in my view if they don’t improve in the Sulit BBI and Pinoyliga Next Man Cup.
But in S100 among the bench guys who did not saw any demotion to the 3-man reserves was Richi. Bonzi, Jalbuena, Tagala and Sollano were in and out of the reserves. I guess Richi is Bedan royalty with his dad helping out the team.
It makes sense to demote Bonzi to Team B since we have Ronrei and Etulle coming in next season. Jalbuena needs to bulk up, and Richi should fight for his spot on the team if he wants to be in team A.
These are my bets to make it into Team A for Season 101:
Gonzales, Estacio, Reyes, Miller, Sajonia, RC Calimag, Lopez, Puno, Payosing, Tolentino, Andrada, Etulle, Soncuya, Lina, Celzo, and maybe Vailoces, Hawkins, and Bonzi/Richi as reserves.
What do you think?
