Jayden Harper could still be age eligible. Maybe he can be convinced to play. this can pave way for his exemption.Originally posted by Juancho View PostComment

I’ve been checking the FIBA official Calendar every now and then on any forth coming events for FIBA under tourney(s) and so far, only World U17 for Men on June 29 to July 7, 2024 and U17 for Women on Jul. 13 to 21, 2024 was posted on it’s official website, however there’s a scheduled FIBA World U19 from June 28 to Jul. 6, 2025 and FIBA World U19 for Women from Jul. 12 to 20, 2025 maybe that’s it.
Anyway if FIBA Asia U18 for Men pushes thru next year, the age requirement must be born in Jan. 1, 2006 and above. As per Sir Dave’s revelation about finances are not really a big issue on SBP and the overall landscape of Pilipinas Basketball compared to other nation then enticing some young high profile hafus in our campaign next year may not encounter many challenges. I hope SBP may somehow adhere to the public’s clamor of solidifying our youth program for the next cycle in 2027 up to 2031 then I think it’s high time to build the foundation using the FIBA’s playbook on eligibility for youth player(s) who already played for a sanctioned event and to those who hasn’t registered on any National Federation.
Assuming SBP was headed by basketball minded people and adhere to the clamor of the fans despite the fact they are not really answerable to the general public being a private entity whose day to day operation and expenses are not thru taxpayer’s money.
6’6 Dylan Harper 17 born Mar. 2, 2006 - If issues surrounding Dylan’s “I’m not playing anymore” due to the(dismal) recent 4th placed finished suffered by U19 USA team in FIBA World U19 are indeed true then luring him to switch allegiance may not impose many challenges considering both his brother RHJ and parents especially the Phillippine born mother already answered that if ever there’s an offer here to coach a girls team she will not hesitate to come over and that would be a good sweetener in the negotiation table.
6’8 Jireh Tumaneng 16 yr. old – he is Philippine born and eligible despite spending quite a number of years at New Zealand
6’7 Aries Borja born 2006 – he is Philippine born and eligible
6’4 Caden Shaver born 2006 – I dunno much of his game but this Fil-Nation Select find player despite being under the radar may pull of some surprises if given a chance to be part of the training pool
6’5 Vyc Miller born 2006 – despite being in top 20 for 2024 class and a 5 star(?)recruit, USA basketball hasn’t invited(?) the kid on it’s training camp and I think it’s a great opportunity to offer the kid and his family if they are willing to be part of the long term program in preparation for WC 2027 and 2031.
6’7 Josh Ples born 2006 – he is Philippine born and eligible. with his training experience at Pao Gasol Academy it is no brainer that inviting the kid in the training camp would be beneficial moving forward.
6’8 Jayden Harper 18 yr. old – if he is born 2005 then he is ineligible to play in the U18 tourney. The only challenge for now is that he only obtained(?) his PH Passport a few weeks or a month.

How about Rota 17 yrs old 6'6 from Sacred Heart Cebu. He plays PF now but is quite mobile for a homegrown.

I’d keep an eye on Jayden for future FIBA tournaments. He could be our next NP mainstay after Brownlee retires.Originally posted by BJ_Reloaded View Post
If he makes the NBA, then it’s a different story.Comment

How many Harpers are there that are in line for naturalization? I know this Jayden is not Ron Harper's son, but has been eyed since 3 years ago. The Rutgers' Harper, Ron Jr., is obviously Ron's. Is there a sibling, or another Harper?Comment

Dylan is the Ron's sibling while jayden is a different harperTo becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

Sir, just to correct my previous posted message(kulang yun sentence eh) 18 yr. old Jayden Harper obtained his PH passport a few weeks or month after his 16th birthday(I stand to be corrected on this), I'm relying on the previous statement from Filam Nation's Cris Gopez that almost everyone(98%) who played from the recent 2023 NBTC Global Games are already document holder.Originally posted by sroth3839 View PostComment

based from fiba website, his nationality is filipino, so he is eligible?""failure is not the end but just the beginning of a victorious journey..just keep on dreaming and we will be back on the olympics''''Comment

Oh my!!!! Imagine if that kid obtained Phi passport a month or two earlier. I hope Jayden Harper won't be another "sayang" player.Originally posted by BJ_Reloaded View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

Sir the important thing is he already obtained the docs during his Daisy years and playing domestic leagues like NBTC during vacation season would be a good merit as well, I hope aside from that 1 week tournament. those Filam Nation team had an opportunity to play in the other domestic league as well like Fil-Basket U tourney, Pilipinas Super Liga Under tourney or the Jr. MPBL among others during June to AugustOriginally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

Ah OK. So there's still a chance that Jayden Harper would be declared as local Filipino player by FIBA just like the case of James Spencer as mentioned by tootch.Originally posted by BJ_Reloaded View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

yes sir, I think this one of the strong reason why he got an exemption because of his strong domestic involvement despite obtaining his docs after his 16th bday.Originally posted by tootch View PostComment
