Gilas U-18 are in Inspire already, with Andy. The only added player that I know is Jayden Jones.

Looks like no Justin Hunter already.

Well, that was 2 years ago so maybe Jayden may have improved significantly since then. Also we have to take note that Jayden Jones was among the youngest player in that team as he was 16 yrs old at that time while most of his teammates were already 17 yrs old.

Jayden was the leading scorer of Fil-Am Nation B in Manila Live 2024 with 22ppg. He was even included in the NBTC all star so he might have been improved.

Still an an upgrade from having Justin Hunter who always seemed lost.

Classes in the US have already started. Hunter may have been unavailable. While Jones, since has been recruited by FEU, is already here in the Philippines.

His outside shot has gotten noticeably better.

Akatsuki U18, Final 14 Lineup.

Good thing their tallest is only 6'6, I did not check it yet but I think most of their players were also in the U16 2023 with an average of 17.2 yrs old, whom the Kiefier-led Gilas youth beat.

The height conversion is wrong. This is not a typical bansot team like those coach seyer uses.195cm is 6'5, 198 is 6'6, 204 is 6'8, and 197 is 6'6 too.

So, where's the final "chemistry ballers" pinoy lineup??? No great explosive players, so the seyer team very likely will chemically implode again.

[lem0nadi]

So based on the recently ended training camp, lineup will be much likely:


1. Gemao
2. Medina
3. Burgos
4. Lorenzo
5. Esteban
6. Cabonilla
7. Ludovice
8. Manding
9. Esperanza
10. Jayden Jones
11. Kurl Figueroa
12. Gabriel Nepacena

I don't really know who are the last 2 players lol. Don't know what their position or height.

I just saw them tagged with coach Rob's post about the training camp.

Gone are Castillejos, Hunter, Santos? not sure.


This is not the official lineup, just the players who attended the training camp.

But it looks like an upgrade from the SEABA lineup though, the non-contributor / benchwarmer guys were replaced.

As per the last 2 guys, both of them are the big man of NU Bullpups who won the last palarong pambansa, I don't know their exact height right now though. I saw some post last yr about Kurl Figueroa and his height is 6'4, don't know if he grew over a year.

Bro, are Kurl Figueroa & Gabriel Nepacena better than Daep & Borja (the two 6-foot-7 bigs of Perpetual that were said to be prohibited by their school to join the U-18 team)?

I don't really know, but looks like Nepacena is a member of the mythical 5 in Palarong Pambansa.

Knowing NUNS, they have good program for bigs who produced KQ and Tamayo. I mean overall I think they have the best program in UAAP jrs.

Gabriiel nepacena is in youtube. 2006 and 6'1.
