Im not the one generalizing here, just because im for moving on you label me as a up fan. Do you even know me? Why would i root for UP? You can even check all the comments i made here and not once i rooted for them.

You're talking with me right? What does whatever those up fans say have anything to do with what my point is? Geez the matter has already been settled, the parties involved want to move on and here you are continuing posting things as if nothing has happened. Instead of making it about the struggles of topex you're starting to make it about yourself. Move on already. We're already in the second round, lets go back to talking about basketball coz no matter what you say, things will stay as it is. Again you are free to make a new thread about it, there you can talk about it all you want. Here, we're already starting to veer away from basketball.

If you don't like talking about it, why are you even replying? Ignore it then. lol. Simple as that.

There were two new FSAs watching the game for Ateneo.

Last week, during the UP-DLSU game, I saw three FSAs in the patron area milling about.

Sage Tolentino needs to do residency IF he decides to play ball in the UAAP (assuming he hasn’t completed his degree in the US yet). So even if Ateneo is interested he will be for Season 89 at the earliest.
 
i don't get those 7 UAAP teams. why are they not fielding FSAs in Jr. High and Junior's division? only NUNS has the guts to do that with Akowe. if you want a good FSA, develop them. they have the size and athleticism. what they are lacking is skills which can be taught during Jr. High and Junior's stints.

Is this a sign that balogun is on the way out?

FEU-D and UST will parade a FSA in Pinoyliga juniors cup.. dunno with other 5 teams.
 
Most of the good college-ready players from Africa are now going to the US and Europe. The ones that are left for the Philippines are really raw or deemed as low potential.

The good ones consider their career after college. Our country gives them limited options and exposure.

Getting them at a younger age improves the quality of our hs league and at the same time improves the quality of the fsa. It also opens the possibility for the very best among them to have a road for eligibility.

Imagine, OJ Ojarikre or Aguanne moving like June Mar in the post in offense had they underwent high school.

Yes, and it also forces our undersized local centers into converting into forwards or even guards much earlier.

For most players, as you go up to higher levels, majority of the time you have to convert to a smaller position. The earlier this is done the better.

Increases our chances of having wings that measure at least 196cm (6'5"), fours measuring at least 201cm (6'7"), and even big combo guards measuring around 188cm (6'2"). Increases their chances of playability in international competition.

I though UE has currently one? he even posterized someone in the NGBL.
 
I don’t know but i hate the idea of getting 15 year old kids away from their home and family . Schools here don’t care about their Fsa’s as soon as they stop being good enough. They get discarded and have to look for another school. They get kicked out of the dorm. That shouldn’t happen to kids

That is a legitimate concern. At the very least, scholarship until HS graduation should be guaranteed for minors. These should weed out bad actors and those without proper resources (we also don't want them to flood in because there's also limited college slots eventually). HS diploma from Philippine schools is way better for most of where the athletes come from.

Risk goes both ways too. FSAs could also develop well during HS and decide to go to the US/somewhere else for college.

Well, those kids and their parents will gladly take the opportunity to come here in the Philippines for both educational opportunity and possible basketball career than rot in their "homeland". This practice is no longer new - ballclubs in Europe have been doing this for a longtime.

ball clubs in europe at least don’t kick out minors from their dorm.

Promising a better life to a poor family and selling a dream but if they underperform they get tossed out. It’s no longer new and we’ve been doing it for a while yet we still haven’t treated our FSA’s any better than before if anything we have treated them worse.
