UAAP Season 88

[Silent Killer]

Phenom backed Josh, so phenom boys Momowei, Abate, Mulingtapang, and the others will possibly remain if Josh is chosen. Additionally, he may have spoken with his Batang Gilas players and could bring some of them to UE. Let's see.

Abate stays

Abate stays

He's gonna be 24 already. So cant really transfer to another school. So its either he stays or goes pro. Imo he currently doesnt have a high draft stock so him staying is the smart move.

Konov and Pablo are still with DLSU. I saw a video clip of them playing with the team for a benefit game in Zobel.

Don’t know where the rumors of them leaving came from.

Things might get a bit awkward among the DLSU elite. Francis Zamora's sister is one of the impeachment prosecutors of Sara Duterte who is obviously the wife of Mans Carpio.

I think mans carpio already saw this coming the moment francis zamora left his old political party pdp (duterte aligned) and joined partido federal (bbm's party). Worst case scenario will be his son getting cut lol haha.

UP Torculas to NCAA

Was he the last homegrown player (UPIS) in the lineup?

Belmonte should follow too. Big potential but no playing time.

Why would he leave at this point? That 3-year UP stint, where he was part of two championships, adds a lot of value to his resume. He could stay for at least another year until he's 22 years old and then proceed to the PBA Draft. I would understand if he were to transfer to a big NCAA program like SBU, Letran, or Benilde, where he could get the exposure he needs. But it's been 8 years since JRU made it to the playoffs, and that won't help with his exposure unless he believes he can lead them to the top, which is possible nonetheless.

I think being a role player on the UAAP's defending champion is much better than being the superstar on a team in the NCAA that finished last in the standings last season and hasn't been a playoff team for the last 8 years.

It is not like a PBA team won't take a chance on a 6'5 player who can play as wing.

This is the same guy that vloggers has been telling us that could be our future GILAS starting PG. Dunno what he's been up to but is it safe to say he hasn't lived up to expectations? What's the cause? Lack of PT, competition too tough in the UAAP or he isn't just as good as advertised?

Jru will just make him a center lmao haha. Maybe he got threatened with the impending inclusion of yniguez and coronel in the lineup.

Right? Him being a center would be most likely considering there is no FSA anymore.

As ive said in the other thread, other than those schools you mentioned, dont think any other team in the ncaa can afford to utilize him in his true position. I mean last year jru's center was 6'2 ryan arenal, even their power forward was 6'2 joshua guiab lol
