UAAP season 87

[mrjumbo03]

If Mike Philipps going to spend all of his college years, would that be possible for him to be eligible as local right after graduating or before getting drafted in PBA? I think the timing will also be good as it will be right in time for the 2027 WC and hopefully 2028 Olympics.

I could really see him as the best stopper the Philippines could have right now.

Take with a grain of salt, but there were rumors that early on, DLSU wasn't too keen in helping with Mike being declared as FIBA eligible as a local. Once he gets declared as local, he can then be considered as an Asian Import for the B-League/KBL, which meant that there was a chance he left early.

How many playing years does EJ Gollena have left? If I'm not mistaken, he served a residency year before he is eligible to play for La Salle as he came from Lyceum.

I believe he has his full 5 years intact. He never played for lpu and moved to dlsu before he was 20 y/o. So age wise he should be fine.

Nokura had another outstanding game: he had 30-9-8 blocks.

Also, Miguel Yniguez had back to back great games. He's a big guard that can score, rebound and pass. He reminds me of Dwight Ramos.

Are these games accessible online?

Good point, but I don’t think there is any chance of him getting localized while still playing college basketball here. According to FIBA rules, aside from spending years in college, one must also play in the domestic league of a certain country, which in this case is the PBA.

Even if La Salle is willing to help him become a local under FIBA, there is no way for him to achieve that unless he plays in the PBA.

However, if a miracle happens and he somehow becomes a local while still playing for La Salle, you are correct in saying that DLSU wouldn't assist him in the localization process. They can't afford to lose Mike, especially with UP having recruited strong big men whom he will need to match up against.

Seeing Mike as an Asian import sounds so good though. Definitely would have a world import stopper role much like AJ Edu.

Yeah just search for pg flex on facebook

What about DLSU? Whether there's actual proof that they used that money to fund DLSU, I don't see La Salle fans acting like hypocrites.

UP fans are notorious for acting holier than thou and for their virtue signaling. When pressed, they always perform some mental gymnastics to justify their sh*t.

Proof? Hahaha Know your history. Study the history of the Coco Levy fund and Danding Cojuangco. Tiktok pa more. He was given the La Sallian Master award. haha DLSU gave a very positive characterization of Danding when he died.

Alright, and? That circumstantial evidence doesn’t prove anything. Logically speaking, he has enough wealth to fund the school without needing that fund. But for the sake of argument, let’s assume it’s true that he used that money to support DLSU. Where are all these self-righteous individuals who act like victims, yet turn a blind eye when they benefit from it? Are they from DLSU or UP?

You presented evidence that doesn’t definitively support your claim, and you also failed to recognize the hypocrisy of UP fans.

It seems to me that you need to sharpen your critical thinking skills more than anyone here needs a history lesson from Google.

This is true. Sportswashing is real, be it Jonvic or Danding or even MVP with that mining issue which Ateneo decided to let go when MVP withdrew support.

Hahaha Critical thinking skills? Why not go to UP fb pages and look at the comments. UP fans routinely bash Remulla. At least with UP, their constituents try to do something with the ills of society. Unlike DLSU whose constituents don't care whether they cause inconvenience to everyone as long they benefit. Guess who is the biggest cause of traffic in Taft and Ortigas? Guess which school is the landing spot for those na "Di Lumusot Sa Upcat?"

I watch live UAAP games. I watch a lot of offseason/preseason tournaments in person, even the obscure ones. For those who are able to do the same, there is one thing that is very noticeable...whenever there's a UP team playing, they will have a lot of fans. Even their B team games would be packed. The fans are lively, in your face and hyped. Those in the know, know that UP gives free tickets for the obscure tournaments, but still there is genuine hardcore fan support. This also reflects in socmed and forums like this.

It's an interesting phenomenon wherein it's like a sleeping giant woke up. Personally, I don't mind this newfound fervor of their school fans, the more elite teams pushing each other higher the better. It was honestly mind-boggling how it took so long for a storied institution like that to show more pride (and support) in their school team.

It's understandable that their fans are excited and pumped up because this is new for them. It will take a while (and a few championships) before they get over the "nouveau riche" phase.

They were like this for their pep squad when their pep squad had that 4 peat run in the early 2010s. Even the dress rehearsal was fully attended.

Now? Very few watch their pep squad to the point that fans of other schools are now able to get tickets from UP.

Same thing happening with Ateneo and their fans now since their team isn’t doing well.

Anyway, the excitement is understandable but the constant holier-than-thou attitude (long essays on social media, posts about fans or their players virtues which are unrelated to basketball) are getting tiring. Even when Ateneo had their 5-peat there was nothing like this.

You're showing your age with your responses. You're talking about traffic. This is unserious. Lmao.

Totally forgot that UP recruited this Yniguez kid. I hope he pans out more than Briones who has been quite a disappointment when given the playing time.

You guys got a good piece for years to come. I was surprised he stuffed the stat sheet. His impact goes kinda under the radar but the dude can ball and has good size. I hope he turns into a star and maybe play for Gilas.

This is a great read to the uninitiated or to those who refuse to acknowledge Danding's role in stealing coco levy funds and then using those funds to buy shares of San Miguel and United Coconut Planters bank. Safe to say that half of La Salle's championships most likely belong to the Filipino people, considering most of those championships were acquired when Danding was the school's biggest patron.
