Jericho De Guzman(Philippines)



6-11 Jerico de Guzman is an Angeles City native who once was part of FEU's Basketball Team B but didn't make it to the cut for Basketball Team A. Rumors had it that he used to train with Japeth but he wasn't as athletic as Jap and reed-thin at 210 pounds. He is now in the States with the latest reports placing him at the Chicago area. He is now redshirting for Martin Methodist College Redhawks, a US NAIA Division I school, the same basketball league where Mark Caguioa played at.

I hope decides to play for the RP team rather than the Canadian team. Oh well, even if he'll not suit up, we're still overloaded with PG. Anyway, PBA would be a good choice for him, if he's looking for a high paying basketball league outside the NBA and Europe.

Lots of other Asians too, however, do you think there will ever come a time where a pure Asian be the top scorer for an NCAA basketball team?

Mark Cagouia did but during his highschool day,Danny Seigle is not a pure filipino but he was a scoring machine back in Wagner College..I think being the team's top scorer would be fairly hard for a pure Asian to accomplish..give them 2-3 years..hmm.. how about the stat leaders on fouls or turnovers ?

Update About Ryan Wetherell


Ryan Wetherell Surgery Successful

USC sophomore guard Ryan Wetherell is recovering at home in Calgary, Canada, after undergoing surgery last month for a life-threatening condition in his neck.

The 5-foot-11 walk-on was struggling to breathe after an abscess in his neck placed pressure on an artery in his throat and caused his chest to swell. He was given antibiotics and underwent surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles to have the abscess removed.

"The doctor said I would have died if they didn't find out about it in time," said Wetherell, who spent a week in the hospital before being released.

That is a interesting question, a pure Asian to be the top scorer for an NCAA basketball team?. That question raises other questions as well, especially since in the U.S, other people may not view "Asian" in the same manner as it may apply to international basketball competitions.

However, just to answer that question directly with my opinion...if there is a player that is a pure Asian in the NCAA and becomes a top scorer, I think it will most likely be a big. I think this is because when a team has a talented big, they will look to get him to be a key part and more involved in the offense.

On the other hand for a guard, I'm not not even sure how people would react if there was an elite Asian guard just dominating NCAA Division 1 basketball on the level of players such as Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Jay Williams, etc. Although since JJ Reddick was one of the more known guards while he was playing in the NCAA, I'd say it's very well possible for an Asian guard to be one of the top scorers.

That might even impress Barrack Obama!

.this guy had a lot of offers for the best basketball universities at the USA such as DUKE,SYRACUSE and many more...

Here some quotes about Tarek :

After a low-scoring third quarter that drew McLean’s lead down to three, the Highlanders exploded offensively in the fourth, outscoring Woodson 19-5 over the last seven minutes of the game. Senior Tarek Ammoury, the all-star of the Highlanders all season, led the charge with a game-high 27 points. The victory guaranteed McLean’s first Regional Tournament berth since 1999.

In other district games earlier last week, Madison defeated McLean, 68-57, and Langley lost to South Lakes, 72-63. Davenport scored 20 and Sexton 15 for Langley and Madison was led by Flaherty’s 17 and Conlon’s 15.

For McLean in the loss, Austin Lastowka had 10 points before fouling out, and leading scorer Tarek Ammoury had 21 points and 13 rebounds. McLean defeated Jefferson, 64-56 in overtime, on Friday night as Ammoury had 26 points and Justin Duvarney 16.

from Virginia tech forum :

The latest on Tarek Ammoury's recruiting process is that WVU was interested in him, however the coaching change where John Beilein become the Michigan head coach. It isn't because of his grades that he hasn't gotten his first d-1 offer.

Tarek Ammoury (42) salutes the Highlander student section after his 27-point, 10-rebound performance paced McLean in the first game of Thursday's double-header.



Tarek Ammoury - McLean, 6-foot-3, Senior. Led McLean in scoring for three consecutive seasons, and was a starter since his freshman year. Was named the Northern Region Player of the Year last following the 2007-08 season. Ammoury grew up in Lebanon and moved to the United States with his family in seventh grade.

Your stats for CT are wrong. he was the starting point guard for UNF since his freshman year...i am sure that would mean he played in more that 28 games. and i know he holds the school record for number of steals (i believe). I am sure it is more than 29...he might have 29 for only 1 season. You should look into it. im sure its not your fault, you just got the information on a website that was not updated.

And now i am curious to know how many other posts on here have the wrong information????
It is best to get the stats directly from the school itself i think. that way its more accurate.
