Is john sherick estrada eligible? I think he'll be useful for teams like FEU and UE.

would like to see a matchup between John (sherick) Estrada and Mark Gil Belmonte in the near future!

Why is Ice Blanco not surnamed Hontiveros?

Sloppy start by DLSU against lowly JRU after blowing out St. clare.

Robinson doesn't look impressive.

Geremy shown flashes of great athleticism and potential on defense. He's also able to get to the rim well. I think it's taking him time to adjust to the local scene's physicality and timing. Just like Bright, I expect him to get acclimated. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Not married to mother

how in the world is representing Philippines in BWB Asia means he's still with La salle?

from the linked article:
This year, BWB Asia featured the top 60 high-school age boys and girls from 15 countries and territories across the Asia-Pacific region, including the Philippines’ Andres of Ateneo and junior Gilas standout Harris.

can anyone confirm?

LA Andres is still with DLSU. He posted a tiktok with Jared inside their dorm room 5 days ago. Link: ttps://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRBaRySD/

Anyone know about EJ Gollena, La Salle's recruit? He's 6'3 but other than that can't find anything about him. Would like to know his game.

Will that lineup maintain his signature press, though?

im confident they can. outside of Nwanko, you can watch how they play in youtube (highlights and full games) and they all have good motor. have you seen anything that may not make it feasible?

Duremdes' son now a growling tiger (probably born before kenneth was married to the kid's mom). Bocaue Mayor and Sen Joel's brother, Junjun Villanueva joins the coaching staff as well. Looks like Bal David rebooted Coach Jinino's roster

"BARELY a month as coach of University of Santo Tomas, Bal David already made one significant move for his alma mater."

he made his first move and it's a revamp already? should be 2 moves, Calimag is Coach Bal's recruit as well.

FSA is Coach Jinno's recruit -> https://www.spin.ph/basketball/uaap-...ef=article_tag
Baclaan committed since 2021 to then HC Coach Jinno -> https://tiebreakertimes.com.ph/tbt/d...-to-ust/210926
IPC posted this yesterday -> https://twitter.com/naveenganglani/s...AX-Aqh7sQ&s=19

it takes time to recruit, Coach Bal's boys will come in but outside of these filam's maybe those will come in next season.

And I expect the the Tigers to suck/be mediocre this season due to all the changes, but will be formidable/competitive come next season

i hope not. some players would like a competitive team already. so hopefully we stick with everyone on every game and just gets edged out. but i dont know how Coach Bal will coach so..... be hopeful nlng

Dont sleep on UST. They have a very dynamic guard duo on Kean Baclaan and Nic Cabanero. I mean, somebody in IBN already posted that if you add 5 inches to Baclaan's height he'll be a cheat-code. But still, at 5'7, he's like 1 of the best players on the court already and he's just a rookie. Nic Cabanero is your 6'3 shooting guard who havent seen a shot he didnt like. Then there's SherCon at 6'5 who had a fling with Gilas before they left for Korea. Also have 6'5 Bryan Santos, an athletic wing. Sayang Gani left, he can add depth to the frontline sana. We'll see.

Yep, they still have good recruits, and retained key players. They'll try to compete, and maybe have enough for Final Four.

Sherwin's 6'3", though, unless he grew.

I admit, I have barely seen anything. I hope that it is feasible, though.

Is NU overachieving this Fil-Oil? Will they be able to translate that to the UAAP?

Did they cut Paul Manalang already?? He's not on their dleague and filoil lineup
