UAAP Season 85

[DAdmiral]

What is the level of UAAP ( ATENEO and UP) if they played vs All Filipino PBA teams, under FIBA rules, who would win the title?

I think a PBA team might still win the title, be it SMB or Ginebra through talent advantage, and Ginebra's no slouch when it comes to system on both ends, especially defense. I think UP and Ateneo might give PBA teams a hard time, given that they have the two best defenses in the UAAP, and some promising talents.

Of course we're assuming eligible as locals sila Kouame, (foreign student), still PBA ?

If Ange and Malick Diouf are eligible as locals, I think Ateneo and UP have a good chance winning against any All-Filipino PBA team.

Theyd probably beat a 1/3 of the teams.

Blackwater,Terafirma

Maybe Ros Maybe Northport and converge

To reach the finals for 3 straight seasons on an 8-team tourney is no easy feat! Congrats Ateneo & UP ��

Rumor has it that james nacua is seated behind the bench of la salle. Could this be it? lol

Yup. Nacua has committed to La Salle. But seeing how bad La Salle plays right now - he can always decommit and should just stick with San Beda.

Problem with Adamson, Most of their recruits were from the past coaching staff.

Manzano and Torres are the only ones by nash.

I think Hanapi is from Adu hs so that doesnt really count manzano i have no idea where he is from but nash has to prove again he can recruit

Manzano is from UST.

DLSU is only losing Schonny for certain.
Nelle has 1 more year while both Ben & Nonoy have 2 two more years. All else are just speculations. Outside of Nelle & Schonny, no one else has their stock high to leave so they'll likely stay.

Not gonna happen because they're losing. He shares the same handler as Abadam. Unless they can't get crack Team A, they can't decommit. Similar to Vales, and 4 other Fil-Foreigners who recently committed to DLSU, they are for DLSU only and would only leave if they cant crack a spot.

nelle,lastimosa and jlc have one more year left but their age is their biggest problem for next year.

Nav reported that Manong explained how Nelle is still eligible. Unfortunately he wasn't able to explain it himself but he confirmed that Nelle is still eligible.
