NCAA Season 100

[Olynyk]

The Taft school actually did not even consider to recruit Jacob coming from HS because Jacob that time was just a second stringer PG. Nobody gave this kid a second look except for San Beda.

San Beda gave him all the breaks, training and opportunity to shine and he delivered. To his credit, Jacob's mindset made him an elite player. Not afraid to take the big shot.

Now that the rough diamond has been polished and sparkled, the father has put up the "for sale" sign.

He helped Beda win a championship. Cant be that angry at him.

tiebreaker times reported that dwight howard and andray blatche has been signed by frank lao’s strong group for the dubai international. i wonder if they will tap csb players and use this tournament as a preparation for season 100.

Its gonna be Gozum only as far i know. No one from the current csb lineup. Heard they trying to tap KQ, Cagu and Lebron lopez. Those 3 are probably the only amateur guys who's gonna be included, the rest should be made up of recently graduated peeps or those players under the phenom and EOG group.

Id rather Sanchez than Gozum at this stage. Gozum is in-between position changing.

This. I honestly think it's all good once he officially transfers.

Charles tiu wants him and company to focus on team A for now, as it is sanchez and company have already joined loads of tourneys outside team sanctioned events

since cardona mentioned the recent dlsu ring ceremony and that there was not this big sign on bonus during their time, i would guess he was talking about jacob cortez. that mvp matched the offer. cardona went on to say P2m sign on bonus plus p125k monthly allowance. this is pretty huge.

i highly doubt that mvp will allow himself to be drawn into negotiations by college players, if he can dismiss someone like mikee williams what more a college player?

i know people who have worked with mvp - executives, employees, business partners and suppliers - and all of them say that the man is all business and knows his "stature", such that he won't take kindly to people who will either play hardball with him or milk him for a little bit more money.

maybe its the bedan boosters who did this and not mvp, but then again P125K monthly? wow ....

Didn’t know UE had that kind of moolah to use. When the late coach Lawrence Chongson was active in PEx. He preaches on having to recruit quality players but they are still within a certain budget. Even their one and dones like Mendoza and Suerte during those times.

the late bong tan was supporting his buddy ironcoach from the sidelines, its not farfetched to picture that ue with bong tan's support can raise millions for the ue program.

having said that, the financial support that comes their way is still modest compared to what ateneo, lasalle, nu and during pre-pandemic times san beda were spending on their programs.

good starting salary as pba rookies get 200k right.. What this young guys need to realize is that as you age your income should go up and not the opposite..

There are too many leagues also that a player can earn more than the rookie max salary in the Pba. Marketing wise it seems that the Uaap and Ncaa has become a better tool.

The window for a professional career in basketball is becoming shorter. If the money is there and is a long term deal, I say grab it. If its a short term deal but an Oczon like deal, grab.

UAAP probably, NCAA nah. Im pretty sure the MPBL finals had more online viewers than the NCAA.

Viewership alone does not determine marketability. How come SBU has sponsorship deals? How come companies like BPI, PGA cars, etc made a marketing pitch on the recent SBU championship if its not marketable?

And the PBA teams arent some of the biggest conglomerates in the country?

Companies probably see how GMA is investing in the NCAA but personally I don't see that investment meaning much anytime soon.

Because usually there 2 type of basketball players some peak at early 20's(Mike Cortez, Kiefer Ravena, Terrence Romeo) and some do well as a late bloomer (Don Trollano)

I don’t think its Kyle. As far as i remember Ogie graduated already when Kyle entered SBU. My guess its Pong Escobal. He was highly touted if i remember it correctly.

changed my mind. I think it was indeed Jacob Cortez. Suddenly remembered his interview with Naveen where he admitted of transferring to DLSU before Season 99 but he stayed with Beda.p
