UAAP Season 88

[heystifler]

Whats with the FEU - JRU and Mapua connection?

Care to explain as I saw some transferring to Malayan for 1 year then playing at FEU at the seniors program since 2017

Of the current DLSU players, Macalalag and Gollena are the best examples of patience. Macalalag was a reserve and didn’t make the UAAP main lineup his first year on the team. Gollena was basically the 16th man in his first year in the lineup. Now they both get regular minutes.

The reality is that there are only 8 teams and 16 slots per team. That’s 128 roster spots and how many new freshman recruits are there every year? There just isn’t a spot for every one, unless players leave to go pro earlier.

Gollena, overachieve. An unheralded recruit coming in. Has the fortitude to be patient and become an 'MVP" in his role. I believe he is pro ready at this level. At the very least he can contribute on day one in a MPBL team.

Those guys at least have a path to minutes if they stay patient.

I agree. Cortez, Baclaan, Pablo, Amos will most likely be gone after 2 seasons, some might even leave earlier. Motor mike is already graduating. They could use that 1-2 years to work on themselves muna since imo they still need to bulk up and ready their bodies to be effective at the next level.

What a lot of people dont realize is that only a handful fresh from hs recruits even the blue chip ones, are ready to consistently contribute to a college team by year one. It usually takes a year or 2 before someone can be inserted, have regular playing time and thrive within their system. So even if the coaches give these kids immediate playing time, if they're not ready, they wont be doing too much. Not everyone can be Pre's or KQ's. And not everyone can handle the immediate burden of leading their collegiate teams. For me, the lesser the initial pressure, the more beneficial for their development.

any chance that la salle will end up recruiting quines,koji and daep? feels like 2016 when they recruited aljun,ricci and balti at the same time.

He’s decent. He plays exactly like his Denok. All around but poor shooting percentage. He’s a role player guy not a go to guy.

he has another son in u16. one of the top PG’s in u16 in cp miranda..

Barbie Jamili has a BF? Gonna unfollow her. Lols

both of them should have stayed in morayta.

Wasn’t referring to Daep. If Daep enrolls in DLSU, I think it’s a good move considering it is Mike Phillips’ final playing year in S88.

There’s another one. Will probably be announced soon.

Akowe or Arun?

There's a possibility that dlsu end up with all three. Quines, Daep and Buenaflor. This will be bad news for melencio, sarmiento and alian tho. UP will prolly focus at the graduating guards, long shot but letran squire daniel padilla is also former goldwin boy like andy gemao was.
