NCAA Season 100

[gospursgo]

Thread was getting ugly with a lot of ad hominen attacks on coach charles, someone probably pulled the cyber bullying card

It actually made adamson and their fans looked worse to be honest, only ones saying those kind of things are the bitter adamsonians themselves. Charles tiu is used with those kind of replies anyways. He even deleted that tweet even before that page posted it.

Edmund Mundas transferred to JRU. Eligible S100. I dont mind jude getting outside players to complement the team but not in the recruited red cubs expense. Banana.

When SBU recruited Tolentino from CEU last year and JC Bonzalida from Adamson this year it made Mundas irrelevant. All three about the same size and play the same position.

With due respect, IMO the red cub card is over used and over rated. It should be the best talent out there. We could use Tagala's spot for another serviceable big man or wing.

If a red cub isn't recruited yet. But Mundas was. In fact the kid already transferred to Mendiola to finish SHS so he could transition well to the seniors team. CYE even made the press statement post jrs S98 that he want the graduating red cubs for yhe RL mundas included.

Wait they still have to take and pass the ACET?

Yes, ADMU/Jesuits value education specially for student-athletes.

Red Lions guards getting schooled by CEU guards of Diaz and Marcelo. So far this early Sajonia has not shown he can be a playmaker and lead SBU. The SBU guard rotation is kinda iffy because they have Nygel as the starting PG always but it is either Royo or Tagle who finishes.

Coach Yuri has built this team since last year as a jump shooting team. And when they’re shooting awful, it’s always a struggle. You need someone who could create and take it inside to draw some fouls. This was Jacob Cortez’s role last season. I was hoping Sajonia would replicate Jacob’s role.

They need more games, more tournaments to play. It’s practically a new team so start from scratch uli si Yuri.

Maybe Jomel should take a larger role on offense. He has the makings of a good slasher

Royo at the end of games is a nightmare on your defense. Dude is too small, and is a liability out there. Anyways as for tagle, has he improved his playmaking skills? Only see him as a catch and shoot guy. Better for nygel to finish things off.

So no Tolentino and Lina still in the upcoming Filoil up?

Remember Yuri is a protege of Chot Reyes, who loves to downsize and prioritize speed and jump shooting. Honestly Nygel has been passive and takes too long to set up. So I agree with Yuri finishing the game with veteran PGs Royo or Tagle.

Puno was a full-time 3 last season and we saw him on few occasions in the Finals where was moved to the 4 to give the defense some versatility. But because of injuries he is forced to play up to the big man spot.

In terms of preparation, this is only SBU’s first tournament with their Team A. Compare that to 2023, when they played the DLeague it was their third tournament (Ballout Inter-Collegiate and AsiaBasket Kuala Lumpur). So they are starting late with their preseason because of the extended holiday Christmas vacation.

CYE on Bismark Lina's status and Bryan Sajonia (who takes a backstep so that the team can utilize all players and give them an opportunity to show what they can do:



"Injured pa si Bismarck, pero good news kasi tumatalon tiyaka tumatakbo na siya. We don't want to rush him. Pag okay siya, gagamitin namin siya. Pag hindi, ['di muna]," Escueta said.

"Importante yung health ng bata. Sakto siya, sa opening ng NCAA, but sabi ko nga hindi ko siya mamadaliin. Ang importante maging healthy muna siya."

Moving forward, what's important for San Beda is to figure things out and remain patient as they continue with their buildup for the NCAA's 100th season.

"Pwede naman naming gawin yun," said Escueta, pointing out how they could opt to play in a star-centric system just to be successful in the preseason tournaments.

"'Bigay natin kay Bryan Sajonia yung bola,' but it wouldn't do us good in the long run. One step at a time kami ngayon, ayoko naman na mag veer away sa sistema namin."

"As much as possible, sinusubukan namin na to be more systematic para sa team na 'to," he ended.

Aside from the PBA D-League, the Escueta and the Red Lion are also expected to participate in the 2024 FilOil EcoOil Preseason Cup in mid May.

Ed Mundas, while we value his loyalty to San Beda, is not yet ripe to play in the NCAA. Obvious naman na kailangan pang pagbuitihin ang pagsasanay para lalong gumaling. Unfortunately, he might have felt that time is running out for him and decided to find his own place under the sun. Good luck to him.

I will not take this against Jude or the coaching staff. A roster spot should be strictly based on merits alone. Skills, talent, among other things. San Beda needs to stay competitive. Kung mataas expectation natin sa team, dapat malakas ang team. We cannot choose players based on pedigree alone. Ateneo already abandoned their "homegrown" slogan years ago because they realized that it is anti competitive.

Malayong malayo ang husay at galing ni Ronrei kay Ed at this point.
