UAAP season 87

[gospursgo]

It's high time for the UAAP to add a couple more teams.

Dont they need another university to join with them so im guessing it isnt just PUP.

DLSU also had a ton of guys transfer this year, the big difference is they work with CSB and with the new UAAP rules I expect more transfers to the NCAA over the UAAP.

There is no working relationship between dlsu and csb. What they do share is a couple of boosters and phenom sports agency. Those boys that moved out of dlsu to go to csb are all with phenom to join fellow phenom players.who comprised 70-80% of the current benilde pool. Not to mention most of the players benilde has right now are already transferees themselves and should be one and dones or overaged by the time they are eligible to play in the uaap. So if dlsu will get transfers from ncaa, it wont be from csb.

Yikes. Speedy recovery to him. It's a lot more serious than what I thought. Hopefully he comes back stronger for next season.

As for DLSU, it's next man up. I expect Dungo to get more minutes but it'll be Gollena who will take on more of his role. Offensively, this could be bad.

Actually, I don't think their offense will suffer much, especially since Austria is slowly getting his old self back.

On defense, his size will be missed especially against UP. Against their remaining opponents (Ateneo, NU and FEU), the others can pick up the slack.

In terms of minutes played, he ranked fifth on the team before his injury (behind KQ, Mike, Macalalag and David). I would expect his minutes to go to the ones ranking immediately behind him in minutes (Gollena, Austria and Marasigan, maybe Dungo).

good enough for BGU16 next year

What's Canapi's height and playing position? TIA

But Austria and Earl are interchangeable in what they bring offensively and play together at the same offensively. Losing Abadam just means you're less potent than you are with him before hence why I think it's a loss on that end.

Defensively, as I mentioned earlier, Gollena is their go to guy to defend the best perimeter player. But he is sorely lacking the shot making capabilities of Abadam.

Macalalag might have been their most conistent among the Abadam, Austria, Gollena , Marasigan wings

PUP joining the UAAP?

Heard they’re applying for UAAP..

It's high time for the UAAP to add a couple more teams.

PUP released a statement that they only intend to apply in the coming years but are currently NOT yet part of UAAP

Dont they need another university to join with them so im guessing it isnt just PUP.

I don't think that UAAP will approve the application of PUP if ever they apply. First things first, you need money. Does the PUP have the funding to cover atleast half of the sports events in the UAAP? I am referring to the expenses of getting athletes, maintaining facilities and conducting practices outside the Metro or even abroad.

UP is fortunate since they have tons of wealthy alumni that serve as boosters plus Jonvic and the corporate backing (Robinson's I believe). How about PUP? AFAIR, the students burned their school's chairs when their Admin decided to increase the tuition at P12 per unit.

IMO, I only see these three schools to have the most realistic chance to be part of UAAP should they apply - Mapua, Lyceum and San Beda.

Last two questions, is the PUP willing to recruit FSAs? Do they have a high school program?

All valid points which is why I don't think PUP will be a UAAP team soon.

As for Mapua, Lyceum and San Beda. There is really not much of an incentive to go from NCAA to UAAP. They're pretty successful programs (especially Beda) in the NCAA. And going to UAAP might make them bottom feeders as it'll be difficult to compete with other schools there financially.

All these schools view athletics as a way to advertise their school. NCAA has good nationwide coverage and it doesn't make sense to go to the trouble to the UAAP simply to be mediocre in that league

But to be honest, I have one school in mind that I consider to be an intriguing prospect if ever, by chance, they apply in UAAP - that's AUF.

how about Enderun, UA&P and CEU?

[ja.he]

how about Enderun, UA&P and CEU?

Enderun is not a university. Same reason why Letran will never be part of the UAAP, whether they like it or not.

UA&P and CEU do not have high school programs which is a must have to join UAAP or NCAA. The same reason why Lyceum was initially rejected by the NCAA.

[Sikatrix]

Would be funny if both UA&P and PUP join. Two absolutely opposite universities.

Ceu has a high school. They call it Centro Escolar Integrated School (CEIS). Of all the schools outside the uaap and ncaa, they're the most intriguing. They have a capable basketball team(i mean both uaap and ncaa teams already recruit from their program while they've also become a hotbed for ex uaap and ncaa guys) and also a solid volleyball program. Sure they may not win alot if they join either leagues but they have the budget for the athletics program. So if there's any school that could join either leagues its them.

Another option is Manila Central University who seem to have solid backing as of late with regards to their basketball program (they were able to get former UP fsa recruit jayveon coleman, couple fil-canadians and some ex uaap and ncaa guys). They also have a highschool program if im not mistaken. Also helps that MCU was already a member of uaap decades ago.

For ncaa schools, recently there's been an interview where someone from the san beda management talked about the potential move to uaap and basically said that its not in the cards now tho they're not closed to the idea of it. Of all the ncaa schools, they're the best fit to join the league tho uaap member schools may reject it since they're already a powerhouse program and can compete in terms of recruitment.

[impracticaljokers2000]

PUP will be a good fit in the UAAP. But maybe it should be an even number so maybe add CEU as well. Make the final four sweeter by adding teams and not be content being a final 4 team by just being the best four teams in an 8-team league. Lol
