UAAP season 87

[Sikatrix]

Does the uaap really think, this will stop star players from moving? Lol they wont care, they'll prolly leave early anyways to turn pro somewhere. The ones affected here are those stuck in team B and in the benches of team A. Heck this wont stop the bigger schools from overrecruiting and pirating too, they'll prolly just target ncaa guys na lang.

Yeah this probably hurts the players who arent stars more. Alao is gonna be affected by this I think and right now it looks like he is gonna need all those playing years.

If im not mistaken, those affected are Alao, Demisana, Competente and Amos.

Alao and Demisana - 3 years left
Competente and Amos - 2 years left

Ironically, 2 of the 3 schools of these players, Adamson and FEU, arent really 'big' schools lol haha. UP and most of DLSU's tranferees made the smart move of transferring early

Regarding the new UAAP transfer and eligibility rule, can anyone confirm if this is how it works:

Example:

Year 1: Player X plays for School A
Year 2: Player X decides to transfer to School B and sits out (one year residency). In the process, loses 2 eligible playing years due to the new rule.
Year 3 and 4: Player X plays for School B for at most just 2 years.

Does the sit out on Year 2 count against the eligible playing years?

Yes this is how it works. Let's use Amos as example assuming he plays the maximum allowed years:

College Year 1 (Season 86) - Plays for Ateneo (first playing year)
College Year 2 (S87) - Residency year while enrolled in DLSU
College Year 3 (S88) - Plays for DLSU (second playing year)
College Year 4 (S89) - Plays for DLSU (third playing year)

Under the previous rule, Amos would have been eligible to pay until S90.

The easier way to look at it is that the sit-out year, counts as two playing years. Under the previous rule, it counted as only one playing year.

When did Demisana transfer? He may not be affected by this rule depending on the timing of his transfer.

I think we have to look at when the UAAP held its closing ceremonies (if before then those players werent affected by this rule, if after then they will most likely be affected).This was also confirmed by Naveen during one of his livestreams.

Late july so i think he's affected already

When was the closing? Late may right so if im not mistaken those who moved june onwards are already affected. Thos i listed moved after june.

DLSU is on a tri-mester curriculum. According to their calendar first term is September to August. Mason announced his move to transfer late June which is in the middle of the third term. So technically he is covered by this new rule. Unless DLSU made accommodations to enroll him late for the second term and avoids the new rule.

Yes this is how it works. Let's use Amos as example assuming he plays the maximum allowed years:

College Year 1 (Season 86) - Plays for Ateneo (first playing year)
College Year 2 (S87) - Residency year while enrolled in DLSU
College Year 3 (S88) - Plays for DLSU (second playing year)
College Year 4 (S89) - Plays for DLSU (third playing year)

Under the previous rule, Amos would have been eligible to pay until S90.

The easier way to look at it is that the sit-out year, counts as two playing years. Under the previous rule, it counted as only one playing year.

This will greatly affect players who've used up their 3rd playing years too. It means that if those guys want to move out, they cant go to another uaap school anymore.

Imma give an example; lets look at 3rd year guard form UST Ivanne Calum. He has been linedup since 85 but was sparingly used the last 2 years, and more than likely this year as well being tge 3rd string pg after padrigao and paranada, if he decides to look for better opportunities, he has no choice but to move to a non uaap school.

Does this mean that Amos and company only have 2 yrs of eligibility left after 1 yr residency and -2 yrs of eligibility?

Ashton and sj moore dodged the bullet by transferring to the ncaa

I think his move to dlsu was done in the last minute so yeah he prolly did went in the middle of the last term of dlsu. He cant enroll that late anymore.

Curious case for both Alao and Competente. Both moved to UE and UST respectively before uaap season 86 closed. Had they stayed with their old schools, they wouldnt have been affected.

“The offseason saw several players like Luis Pablo, Kean Baclaan, and recently Mason Amos jump to reigning champion DLSU Green Archers.

But Pablo and Baclaan will not be affected by the rule alongside UP’s Rey Remogat and Gani Stevens, and UST’s Kyle Paranada.

However, those who transferred after the 2023-24 academic year will be affected. Those includesAmos, Renzo Competente from FEU to UST, Mur Alao from DLSU to UE, and Kobe Demisana who transferred from Ateneo to Adamson.”

I look at it in three ways.

For the stars (for recent examples, think of Tamayo and KQ), it probably won't affect them, specially if they do decide to transfer early. There is a good chance pro offers (local or overseas) comes early, so I doubt they plan to play out all five (5) years anyway. So if they want to transfer early and just play two more years instead of three, losing that one extra year might not matter (both for the player and team).

For the late bloomers, say they have their breakout year by their 2nd year or 3rd year, this rule might actually work. Think of Remogat. Under the new rule, he'd be a one and done for UP instead of having two years. It'll not prevent such transfers 100%, but it'll deter its fair share.

For those stuck on the bench, this would suck. Either they continue with the current team, or go to NCAA. As mentioned already, Seven would be a great example. He could potentially may have a lane with UP given 4 more years of eligibility, or with an NCAA team (3 years?), though I doubt he goes to another UAAP team.

It'll have some effect to an extent, but I doubt to the extent that the UAAP supposedly intends to.
