Probably nothing, but wouldnt it be nice if Ange plays big time basketball in a big club (Euro League club). Dream big indeed.

Supposedly, the reason why he almost didnt make it to Gilas practices was because he was working things out with a euro club. So this might actually be a thing for him

What's his height? based on highlights seems like an undersized wing and his athleticism and skills don't really make up for it

Isn't he the PG while Gemao is the SG? Both of them appear to be at the same height.

If he is then he has a shot at D1

In Twitter, Gemao is self-aware that he doesnt pass the ball tha much, and has tweets where he said, "you're not getting the ball tonight" lol.

Also, he was teased that in the States, the school will teach him how to become a pass-first point guard.

D1 has very strict rules about when coaches can meet/communicate with recruits. It's a very limited period.

D2 and lower doesn't have.

I have a feeling, he will be trying out for something like a manager/sponsor, club team or prep team. There could be interest from a college team, but they don't really have to see him now. They'd rather watch him play in a US tournament which the top ones will occur again next summer. Unless he joins a US high school/prep school (but only the top programs will get coaches eyeballs).

I like Manalili's game, he was the one that kept hitting the big shots against LSGH in their finals, yes he can play pg. He kept making layups against the twin towers.

Rumors says it's Miguel Oczon

According to rumors Ulsan Mobis Asian Reinforcement player is a shooting guard. An announcement is expected in late November.

Is this guy really a guard? I dont remember Letran having a tall guard aside from Gemao.

Yes he's a guard, pg capable. He's not that tall, probably a bit shorter or the same as Gemao.

Letran had similar-sized players all had shaved heads and almost positionless so it can be confusing. He was the one making lay-ups over LSGH twin towers in the finals (seemed like the go-to-guy more than Gemao at that moment).
