UAAP season 87

Part 3 from the Amos transfer fallout.

[TheRodster21]

Skill wise and fundamentally, Amos is probably the most skilled 6’8 local but I don’t think his athleticism is fit for the wing, though he could work as a specialist shooter

Part 2 from the Amos tranfer fallout.

So it is the team managers fault just as me and big cat suspected....as for tab playing him as a big, i dont think amos has the body or athletcism of wing yet and now that chui and ballungay are gone, he's prolly gonna be forced to play more minutes at the 4 and 5 if he stayed

[reamily]

I was surprised that mason hated to play big in u18 he was a beast as a prototype big ala melo anthony, milan macvan..OSme say jokic like pa nga..

a couple admu players over the years have been complaining about not being able to explore their full bag cause of the system

Interesting things happening in the background. Hopefully MVP's anger leads to better things (change in management, recruitment etc.). IIRC, I read somewhere that he was really mad we lost to DLSU in 2007, and the following season, Ateneo ended up with a stellar recruiting class for 2008 (Salva, Buenafe, Chua), all of whom were key contributors in the 5-peat.

With regard to Amos's wish to be wing, I don't think he has the necessary foot speed to be one, at this point in time.

Like I said, some things were promised to Amos during recruitment (i.e. player skills development, cash bonuses etc). Some or most were not fulfilled. Failure on the coaching and the management side.

Kid wanted to develop as a wing. Coach said yes during recruitment but 2 years on, coach forces him to play as a big. Kid voices his concern, coach is busy with girls in LGV. Kid leaves.

We need Norman Black back ASAP.

Amos thinking ahead for his BLeague stint, dont want it to be another Tamayo scenario (cant play the 4 there). still cant believe this fallout between Tab and Amos, but of course if it is what the team needs.

if DLSU can accommodate this request, then that it best for Amos. if Amos can fully develop as a 3, similar to Javi GDL, it would be best for him, and also Gilas.

[BlueEagleBeer]

Amos felt the time to develop is now. His complains were falling on deaf ears. Norman would have never let it get to that point.

The difference in making him a shooting wing is like going from a Mac Belo type to a Matt Salem type. Tab simply wanted him to stretch the floor and be a 6'8 Anton Asistio. What kid wants that. Norman would have found a better compromise than that.

Amos needs to lose weight if he wants to play the wing.

Still wondering why Jordi Gomez De Liano couldn't crack the Team A at this point. He was a blue-chip recruit from UPIS to UST who just decided to transfer to Ateneo.

Its year 3 for him, so he's not part of Ateneo's team A this upcoming season?

Yup, he did not even go with the australia trip. He was with his brothers in Korea.

he shouldn't have left UST (or UP), though he was a Jinino Manansala recruit and was the odd guy once Bal David's recruits were on-boarded.
