Even if we somehow beat Japan, the Australians would be the next opponent, so basically we are done already.Originally posted by CoJ View PostComment

I believe these are the best U18 team players currently in the country, along with the two bigs from Perpetual. They represent the best of the UAAP and NCAA. Unfortunately, they lost their top two scorers, Gemao and Alas. Additionally, their coach lacks experience, with no prior head coaching experience before his stint with Batang Gilas, and struggles with making quick adjustments. Cabonilas has been contained by Jordan and New Zealand, and it’s the coaching staff's responsibility to guide the team and provide the necessary adjustments. I think this lineup is capable of securing 4th place with a good coach. With Alas and Gemao, they could contend for 2nd place.Comment

30 pts for Medina on 60% FG shooting. Pretty good. From the internet he is a 6'2 guard. What do you know about this kid? His potential?Comment

I won't even bet my 1K to win 20K for Batang Gilas to beat Japan."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. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

I do hope I'm wrong
but true enough I haven't seen any potential for a possible Senior or even for Cadet level
a typical college level work rate is the current assessment on those kids
hopefully, it will be a driving force on them to improve on moving forward with that international experience
dayunyur are obviously out if we based the statement released to the press by those officials from SBP
now on the other hand we have to be fully aware the "nepotism" culture of that NF
I like coach Alejandro Martinez system he implements on those Japanese kids
so goodluck to our kids "malalaki na yan".
where hoping that we could emulate the same thing in our own backyard
oh dear
the never ending "Learning experience storyline" for our youth team.Comment

This is how youth and collegiate basketball works in the Philippines, and it’s quite complicated. When Coach Franz of La Salle and Coach Eric of NU managed the Youth Team, nearly half of the players were poached by them. As a result, other teams became hesitant to lend their players, fearing they would be recruited or poached.
As much as I’d like Coach Topex or Coach Gold to lead Batang Gilas, their teams are notorious for poaching talent from other schools. It’s likely that top high school players from other UAAP and NCAA teams would be prevented from joining the Batang Gilas team for fear of being recruited.
In my opinion, similar to what Japan has done, we should consider recruiting a foreign coach to manage our youth teams. This could bring fresh perspectives and advanced techniques to improve our program.

The Japs will go all out tomorrow against Batang Gilas with vengeance in mind. Remember, Batang Gilas U-16 beat the Japs in the quarterfinals in last year's FIBA Asia U-16 tournament."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. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time.
