UAAP season 86

[Tuck]

it’s kinda hard to say who’s a fil foreign and who’s not?

[mapuakid]

Better way is to set rule for players overstaying in college.

Exactly, that is why he checked with Quinito what he meant.

[Casualreader]

It is undeniable that it helps increase the competitiveness of the players. How many Fil-Foreigners would you think be ideal for a team though? Pido is talking about the UAAP league and not professional leagues. How can a collegiate team with 90% local-grown compete with a team that's 50-80% fil-foreign (trained abroad)?

Overstaying started with those who began recruiting one and dones. And it slowly became a norm in the league

[Sikatrix]

Closely watched how Topex "disconnected" from the interview. Did he get uncomfortable with Pido's jokes?

I was watching live, he left at around 9:30. The timing makes me think he had another commitment.

One and dones are basically starting their pro career entering the UAAP.

Well this has been happening for a long time now and not just with Fil-foreigners. Teams even from the NCAA are recruiting rookie veterans that only has 1 or 2 playing years left usually from smaller schools or from the provinces. How come they want to limit it now ? Is it because they feel like UST will have a harder time competing with the way everyone is over recruiting? This reeks of mr Back door

This is the type of thinking that hinders our progress. When competitiveness and level of play increases, limit it in the name of "fairness."

If the kids have Philippine passports, they are Filipinos.

Yeah, they increase the level of play here. Still, a FIBA-ineligible limit makes more sense than a blanket Fil-foreign limit. Some Fil-foreigners are eligible like Mason and Schonny.

This is why we should work to send our best homegrown kids abroad instead of hoarding them here. Their level of play will increase faster, and they might be better able to compete with the Fil-foreigners. Although it will be better if the best kids stay abroad for development instead of coming back.

Because of our ineptitude to send our prospects abroad, the current set-up is the next best option. We bring as much competition to our shores.

We all know this is about "changing the rules" to limit opponents. This is how FSA's were abolished in the NCAA.

Instead of limiting competition, we should embrace the challenge...that is how you get better. There are so many schools in the Philippines in so many leagues that players can play for, in fact too many to the point of saturation of quality. If you don't want to go up against Filfors then go to other leagues.

For our homegrowns who truly want to be world-class, you need to go against the highest competition possible. If that means you have to outdo Filfors, then so be it. Embrace the challenge and get better. For me, the UAAP is doing a good job of producing world-level players as is. Don't fix if it ain't broke.

watched quinito's interview with the 3 new head coaches in the UAAP, pido wants to limit 5 fil-fors per team. I'll support it for FIBA-ineligibles but not all fil-fors.

My only concern are cases like Tyler Tio, who obviously played in the country for quite a while, is "pure Filipino", but is FIBA-ineligible.

this, it's plain discrimination. why bother granting somebody citizenship when that person can't have the same rights as other citizens?

Lol. Quinito asked coach Pido about the fil-foreigners, only his opinion. but he did not said it should be. if aquiring a number of fil-foreigners will not prohibited it's still okay with him, they got alfrancis chua right. they will scout fil-foreigners in abroad. Hahaha. coach Pido is also not against those players who wants to go PRO in overseas, basically it's their future. Same with coach denok and Topex, they all supportive. they said we have an influx of players who needs to be exposed in college basketball it's all goods for them if they opted early to play PRO overseas not finishing their playing eligibility and it will help the NT program in the future. Quinito's face looks disappointed with their opinions. hahaha. we all know Quinito is against it.
