    What Stats!!!! Niko Monachini, a 6-foot-5 senior forward, who spent this past summer with Basketball B.C.’s Under-17 provincial team, was a terror around the hoop. In Wednesday’s quarterfinal loss to Yale, the U.S.-born Monachini produced 25 points, 21 rebounds and six blocked shots.
    Over the Trojans three games, which included an 80-70 loss Thursday to the Handsworth Royals, he averaged 23 points, 14 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game, while shooting .512 from the field.

          The RP youth team need to focus on recruiting filipinos in the US. Canadian Basketball is not as strong as US basketball. since most of the kids we are recruiting are not D1 quality ,. We might as well get kids who are filipinos in the US who are used to stronger competition.

          If we ( RP) are going to have a place internationally in basketball the coaches need to rethink their recruiting policy.

            i think bigote's team is looking. maybe the Filipino's there are shorter? or just have a prior commitment. i believe we'll still get to form a great team once the tournaments starts.

              Monachini is a half-Filipino, half-Italian forward who will be playing for Yuba College in California next year.

              John Lasa is Monachini's teammate at Hugh Boyd Secondary School in Vancouver.

              Arnold van Opstal is a half-German, half-Filipino center currently enrolled at De La Salle Zobel, Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Philippines.

              Ray Parks is a small forward currently playing at St. George's in Memphis, Tennessee. He is the son of former PBA import Bobby Parks and a Filipina.

                C2Hamm, I like your positive attitude! We shd not judge players from where they come from... we are lucky to have players represent our country. Kyle P or Norbert T. may come from mediocre teams in North America but understand that they are 6'5" and over. As filipinos it is rare to have 12 players in any team of 6'6 and over. For "anyone" that doesn't know it is a 1 % only of players around the US that gets a D1 scholarship.

                Our new Youth team will train and do the best they can be........

                  Attitudes

                  You are absolutely right about "POSITIVE ATTITUDES." While I am not a #1 fan of any of the players. I am very impressed with K. Pascual's talent. I'm also very proud to see Filipinos come into their own as b.players. Any intelligent basketball fan knows that the stats are only one component to putting together a strong team. Stats can be very misleading. Some coaches do not post stats, some high school senior players are known to hog the ball. As a center it is all about talent, skill, and the team. One would have to be blind to not see that K. Pascual plays for the game and the team. He does not have an ego. He truly plays because he loves the game and has talent.
                  I am disappointed in my fellow country men who nit pick our future players rather look at the potential for what these players can do for bring Filipino forward in the game. Michael Jordan, Koby Bryant are not the be all end all basketball. Our young Filipino players need to be recognized too and it needs to start with the Filipino community!!!

                    Thank You!! I quote you on........"I am disappointed in my fellow country men who nit pick our future players rather look at the potential for what these players can do for bring Filipino forward in the game. " You are right on your quote above, without even seeing how these young men play they CRITICIZE them for not being this, or that!! Just wait and see how they play as a TEAM. We do not have to COMPARE ourselves to any players in the US whether they be a Derrick Rose or Michael Beasley this men are recruited to train and improved, and WIN. These young men should be commended to sacrifice school, family and time speciallly the newly recruited men. My question to people who criticize? ......guys, have you ever played in a NATIONAL team to start with????? or shd I say BBALL at all ??

                      If we are going to get mediocre players why bother recruit here in US or Canada. We might as well spend the money training our locals. Providing state of the art training and equipment. I am sure we have many talented trainers locally.

                      It is true only 1% of high school kids go to D1 school to play basketball or any sports for that matter but these are the Filipinos we want to tap to represent our country.

                      Michael Palarca and Ryan Wetherell ( USC) , Darringer are the kind of kids we want to recruit- all are in the D1 schools. They might not be good for the 18 and under team. These kids are used to strong competition - they are able to survive strong competetion here in the US then for sure they will be able to represent RP.

                      There are still other Palarca's and Wetherell out there. BTW both of them are short.


                      Good Luck to RPYT. I watch them train once at the Home depot center and all I heard was Coach threathening the kids to be sent home to RP.

                        we are not trying to get mediocre players, we are looking. im not so sure if ryan's name was in the internet before we saw him in USC. ditto for Jared. we want to get them as early as possible but like i said, it's hard to look for all of them. my point is, maybe players are better in the US but thats not the only place with Filipino's. We need to know and identify who can play and let the coaching staff pick from all "available".
                        i remember you say that Jeremy King, or someone like that, is good. that's great, if you have a contact number, PM dinamita and give him the number. Dinamita has a contact of one of the national coaches.
                        if he is willing to study here in the Philippines then i bet the coaching staff will be more that welcome to let him strut his stuff in the court.

                          I do not know their contact number but recruiters can Contact the school.

                          I also heard there is a tall kid half black half filipino at Taft High School in Winnetka, CA. He is a Junior here in the US. Junior here are usually 16 or 17 years old. He is good being courted--by D1 schools already.
                          D1 quality Filipino kids will not be willing to exchange playing and going to school in the Philippines but I am sure will be more than willing to don the Filipino Uniform in National Competition

                          There are many HS kids here in California who plays for the National team of their respective heritage country and still go to school here or attend D1 school.

                          Hooptown is a travel team in LA with no good players. Coaches cannot coach either. I do not think this team has produce anybody that has gone to D1 schools.-- mostly JC.

                          GOOD LUCK in Recruiting and hopefully finding the right fit .

                            Bingo! that puts us in the same page. why did we get norbert and kyle? because they are willing to go back here. i dont know how long but they are if they said yes to the national coaches.
                            for the players are better? we can ask them now but they'll most probably play after college.

                              But then again, the idea of getting that Div1 stint would be a farcry, not only these Fil-Am kids but as well as the Afro-American players.

                                Nokia-Pilipinas R.P. Youth Basketball National Team Wins by 1-point After a Thrilling Comeback!
                                Written by RP Youth Website Admin
                                Saturday, 05 April 2008

                                As Reported by: Isagani C.Garcia II

                                Los Angeles, CA – The Salesian High School basketball gymnasium was filled with anticipation and excitement. The evening felt like a mid-summer’s night match up against two rivals where heat and humidity where major factors. The Exhibition Game lived up to expectation as the RP Youth Team came back from a 22-point deficit in the 3rd quarter to beat the Hooptown All-Stars 62-61. The first half was a feeling out period where the RP Youth Team attempted various defensive strategies to keep Hooptown off balance. The RP Youth Team deployed man-to-man full court pressure and half court traps to obtain easy steals, but Hooptown was steady sharing the basketball and hitting open shots. Towards the end of the 1st half, Hooptown began to exercise its strength extending its lead to end the half with a 39-24 score.

                                The 2nd half started with Hooptown expanding its lead to 22 points and looked as if the game was going to be a blowout. After a timeout, RP Youth clamped down defensively and kept Hooptown scoreless for almost 10 minutes. RP Youth erased their deficit little by little where every basket scored provided the team with confidence. To start the 4th quarter, RP Youth Team was still down 14 points but had momentum on their side. The game went down the wire when the RP Youth took the lead with less than a minute left in the contest. Hooptown advanced the ball upcourt where Nate Bichara (Los Angeles Valley College) hit a 3 pointer to put Hooptown up by 2. With less than 30 seconds left, Ryan Garcia (Far Eastern University) drove to the basket and got fouled making the continuation shot. Garcia completed the 3-point play by making the free throw and putting the RP Youth up by 1. Hooptown took the ball out of bounds in attempt for last seconds heroics, but RP Youth defenders batted the ball away as time expired. RP Youth limited Hooptown to 9 points, outscoring them by 15 in the final quarter. The teams will play another highly anticipated rematch at Salesian High School on March 29, 2008 at 6pm.
