One has to ask the question, what did it take for Ray Parks to give up a shot at a division I school and play for NU? If Ray was not assured of receiving a division I offer for season 2011-2012, did the family turn down the offer from his godfather, Norman Black, to play for ADMU?
Maui Villanueva is a special case and I believe the family cleared his moving to Japan with the UAAP board before he even went abroad. What UP and other schools did not know was that DLSU had the inside track of recruiting Maui even before he left for Japan. DLSU kept the communication lines open between them and Maui. That was a big fish that got away from Diliman.
