Wishful thinking but hope it will happen..

Nah....as long as Chot is the Gilas Coach, then Josh is the Batang Gilas coach.

There's Goldwin in UP, Topex in DLSU, the Beda coaching staff, and maybe the Perps staff. Jamike Jarin too.

Jeff Napa, he has been great defensively, but I dunno if he can adjust his style to accommodate taller, longer wings like Lucero, Navarro, Oftana. Let's see if he can make it next season.

Interesting how way back in 2019, everyone was high on Thirdy being the better Ravena brother.

Now, Thirdy is not even a contender for the remaining spot in the WC-bound team.

I think his Ateneo performance and B league performance overshadowed the holes in his game. In Ateneo we only remember the highlights but he was a bricklayer. It was Kouame gobbling up the offensive boards that hid his weakness.

We were too high on his highlight blocks and defensive prowess but did not notice the lack of shooting, shakey handles and decision making.

On the other hand Abando, late to the game, entered the UAAP with a silky jumper. He also was slim and looked like a perimeter player despite having the shakey handles of most homegrowns at his height.

I dont know if it is all the weight lifting but the guy has no pulse. His father had the worst shooting form but seemed to have a better 3FG. His father was athletic and muscular but not overblown with muscles like Thirdy is. It seems he has too much muscles. He lacks versatility in his attacks and is predictable probably because he his muscles impede his movement.

well, guys like Gelvis Solano, Victor Liz, and Alex Garcia have bigger muscles and arms than Thirdy but they smoother and shoot decent from threes.

Victor Liz?!?? I don't know what games are you watching but that dude is skinny, him and Abando are almost the same size and similar athleticism, though Liz got better handles and could play PG for some time..

Wisful thinking for now.

If ever theirs a plan to parade a new set of coaches for our Batang Gilas boys team, as much as possible he/she should not be connected nor affiliated to any local schools because we don’t want to repeat what happened before when coach E and coach Franz still handles the squad and the rest is(not so good) history. Unless there would be an unanimous decisions amongst the college coaches not to act as Jack Sparrow if ever one of them will be nominated to handle the lads. On a very personal note I rather assign either coach Nenad of Meralco or coach Gorunovic of TNT to handle the boys, both are not connected to any of the schools or universities unlike coach Tab and coach Rajko who is actively and directly involved in different schools.

We haven’t heard so much on our u16 kids after their SEABA tourney it seems that DDO Jr. is very much preoccupied(?) with the Senior team’s daily practice instead of focusing on the coming FIBA U16 in few weeks times..goodness grace.

if that is the reason why he can't shoot tell than to Desmond Bane, the guy is thicker and has T-rex arms but he can shoot, it's not about having too much muscle he just did not train himself to shoot , as he can overpower his way against other college players so maybe he did not prioritize shooting, and look at Dwight too the guy is also built like a tank but he can shoot

People are evaluating the players in their entirety when they will only be used for a role.

Pogoy's role is to be Chot's middle finger to his so-called "haters". He's Chot's billboard saying, "I can do what I want, deal with it!"

Tab had Mike Nieto and Isaac Go. Difference is, Mike played way better in his role to defend, hustle, and make threes. Go is smart enough to know where to rotate, even though he bricks sometimes.
