Future Big Men Of Philippine Basketball

[Alex07]

mad about seven footers

about the rumored 7 foot Fil-Italian guy.These are the things I want to confirm:

- Is he a legit Pinoy?
- Is he a legit 7 footer?how does he weigh?
- how old is he?
- does he play as good expected?
- when will we get to see him play?

I hope there would be more of them to come and play for the Phils.I hope this is not a late april fool's joke.

If NCAA impose a one foriegner at a time rule just like UAAP(I just don't know if they do have the same rule already),they would have problems with all this players and with Super Dan likely to replace Ekwe.

like what htownflip87 said, we wait. lets wait till the Bedans open up. they usually clears things up faster then most schools.

PEx is not really a good source for college basketball information. A lot of blowhards, or attention-hungry trolls out there. If you want reliable information on college basketball, then simply to go Gameface.

Last night, in a very rare occasion, me, Emel Rowe and 3 other USC fil-foreign prospects got into a YM conference. 4 different timezones. When Bravo left the conference early, I showed the video to the other guys to comment on. You guys can forget about the Dirk Nowitzki comparison. His ballhandling is pathetic. But one thing for sure, he is tall, and can really sky. He looks raw though.

(Chuckle) When a player starts talking about things like how high he can leap, etc., instead of his stats, or which college he played for, you start to doubt how good a player he really is.

hehehehe looks like chismis stirred most of posters here again like the ronnie aguilar issue. Again like what is said about PCU joining the UAAP lets wait for a proper announcement or press release from the said institution.

From pex

May nakita na kaming Fil Italian sa Line Up. Grabe ring bumato sa Tres. Matangkad pa. European ang laro. Yun palang Consul sa Milan na Bedista ang nakakuha doon.

Parang mga 7 footer din yun. , hawig ng laro ni Pennisi

Translation: 7 foot Filipino-Italian spotted in San Beda...

Another:

nakausap ko c pong escobal yesterday.. 3 nigerians pala.. 2 cousin ni ekwe.. 1 fil-italian, 2 nsa beijing nga.. watching basketball.. at my 4 na fil-am, at isang 7'4 ayaw nia sabihen kung ano nationality....

translation: New recruits for San beda Red Lions including a 7'4 center, 3 nigerians and fil-foreigners....

looks like this is another one of those prank threads ...even the bedistas doesn't know about this

PEx is really a poor source of information. They may get one or two things right, but I'm willing to bet that nine or eight of the other things are wrong.

What the SBC boosters have been dropping hints about, are a possible seven-foot recruit out of South America. Hints of this recruit has been going around the last two seasons, but up to now nothing has come out of it.

The fact that there has been no solid proof or news up to now prompts me to think that there may have been efforts to get that player before, but it has not materialized for one reason or another.

I'm a Bedan and still, I haven't heard anything about this until now. and whenever it's true, it should've appeared in the papers long time ago..

The first one was a nice alley-oop. Jason Ballesteros is the Marcus Camby of the NCAA... hehe...

Though regarded as generally just a defensive player, he should develop a decent midrange jumpshot as well just like..... Marcus Camby!
