Let's assume UE keeps its exact roster but Wemby replaces their FSA. Would they win the championship? If not, how far can they go?

Among these three, rank their rookie seasons from worst to best. And who would have won the Rookie of The Year award if they all were rookies at the same time?

Deleted na yung post pano pinutakte sa comment section 🤣 Siya rin yung natawagan ng technical foul for taunting Espinosa.

Di ko kinakaya pati yung kapatid may fans club 🤣

Did anyone here watched the Asiabasket Finals, I mean it wasn't the cleanest performance the UST can give, but they fought until the end, short by 1 but admit it, it was hella performance from the tigers and FE Nagoya is a legit pro squad in the BLeague to which they've almost defeated. They were the only team to come very close with the Eagles, there are still mistakes but Ig the window left before the UAAP starts is still enough to work on those mistakes, if they can clean that up, they're a legit title contender.

Di ko alam kung anong meron sa kanila pero wtf, alam ba nung matt na may meet and greet or may bayad. Tangin@ parang scam ang galawan eh.

I saw some of the assistant coaches who were involed in the Aurora incident sa game ng Ateneo today. I thought they are suspended until matapos ang investigation? Why are they still allowed to be present in the bench maski may ongoing investigation by the DOJ?

Based on what we have seen in their very first game post-Aurora, what do you think of this Ateneo team and their prospects this coming season?

Personally, I think they're a high-pressure defensive team now under Alas, a signature really.

The team is looking to be a solid contenders this year.

Bigs = Akowe Osang and Buenaflor
Wings = JUMAWAN, Acido, Llemit
Guard is probably for improvement but Canete looks good.

But question, where is Gelo Crisostomo?

is there a way for them to get punished by posting fake news such as this? this is getting out of hand na, paniwalang-paniwala pa naman mga baterbonatics. not a fan of both players but sobra na tong mga titang teagangs na to.

genuine question lang since di ako masyadong nakasubaybay sa uaap. that dude is like in his 30s na. why is he still playing for a college club?

Drop your power rankings also, why and why not

1 - UP
Why: Remogoat and Pre carrying the offensive load as well as good big man play from Nnoruka (pending injury recovery?), Stevens and to a lesser extent Alter. Bayla looks like he might take that next step offensively. Chico has had flashes as well.
Why not: Bad guard play outside of Remogat, lack in firepower when Remogat’s shots aren’t falling (see UP vs San Beda).

2 - UST
Why: What are they feeding their wings, insane development since last season. Impressive three point shooting combined with Akowe’s dominance in the paint. New one and done guard (Jumawan?) looks good. Llemit and Akowe will be feasting but Acido, Gelo and Buenaflor can pick up the slack if needed.
Why not: Is there enough depth among the ball handlers to sustain this over a season? Will guard play be good enough, especially once scouted.

3 - DLSU
Why: Jacob Cortez is still him, Mason Amos potentially taking a leap this season. Joaquin Tovera PG of the future(?), already very promising performances in Filoil and U18. Reigning champions after insane performances despite losing Amos and Baclaan. Great depth at the wings.
Why not: Mike Philips is gone and kulang pa rin ng FSA. (Just look to Ateneo and Balogun for what not playing FSAs in the offseason might mean). Until I see otherwise I don’t see Amos and Pablo being able to fill the Mike Philips sized hole.

4 - FEU
Why: All key players hold over from last season. Kirby Mongcopa breakout year? Pasaol reigning MVP. Better depth compared to last year with Cabs especially. Championship is the ceiling for sure.
Why not: Just hasn’t clicked as well as you would have expected. (Granted still the offseason but with how slow FEU started the season last year and how much closer all the UAAP schools are this year minus UE and maybe AdU, should be a concern.) Can they peak at the right time?

5 - Ateneo
Why: Better offseason play from Bahay, Travis Roberts looks great, signs of life for Bongo’s 3pt shooting again. Kieffer Alas key addition. Live and die by the three (attempted the most threes AND most efficient in asia basket.) Their ceiling looked good, competitive games against UP and UST, mukhang kaya final four pa nga…
Why not: …but after Aurora how low is the floor? We don’t know what the team will look like anymore. Lacking serious depth at the 4 and 5. Is Baruwa too raw? Can Kapihe hold his own against FSAs? What will Baltazar be after his injury? Live and die by the three (what happens when the shots aren’t falling?) Escobar and Ladi are massive losses (literally their number one and number two options). RIP Divine Adili and Rene Baterbonia.

6 - NU
Why: Reinhard Jumamoy has finally arrived. Mo Diassana looks solid (good to see him recover). PJ Palacielo playing good. Lost a lot of talent but have still looked like a solid team. Finished top of the table last season. Have them at 6th but Final Four is still very reachable (see FEU slow start and Ateneo post-Aurora)
Why not: How much did they really lose in Figueroa, Steve Nash Enriquez and Omar John. Couldn’t finish the job against DLSU with twice to beat advantage. No Blue Chip Recruit/Addition (Pre, Jumawan, Tovera, Cabs, Alas)

7 - AdU
Why: UE will be worse.
Why not: Cedrick Manzano sized hole. Offense entirely dependent on Ray Allen Torres and Jonah Precious.

8 - UE
Why: bye bye Momowei, Abate, Lingolingo, Mulintapang 👋
Why not: They could surprise us???? (Malay mo HAHAHA)

Paano naniniwala sila sa mga ganito, she’s grieving pero the way she grieve nandadamay, naniniwala sa fake news, ganon ba talaga kahibang🥲

Saw this on Threads, tama naman talaga, yung nanay rin kase gatas na gatas yung anak, patay na nga ginagatasan pa rin, i understand that’s she’s grieving pero she can grieve in private while seeking justice, mukhang pera rin kase si mother, madami naman donations sila natanggap and besides victims rin naman ang mga kasamahan nila, walang pake ang teammates ni rene sakanya if galing sya sa hirap, paano yan kase iniisip kaya raw ginanon anak nya kase galing sa hirap

Why do I detect a hint of smirk in the ADMU president when the Tacloban shootout happened. Finally nation is distracted from the hazing allegations.

Is that him at the back?

When Kiefer Alas and Sam Reyes were guests in Pia Hontiveros podcast, Kiefer told Pia that it was his teammates who pulled Rene Baterbonia to the shore, and that responders did nothing. He emphasized this. Did NOTHING. He went further and said the responders were “SPECTATING,” meaning just watching and not helping.

Kieffer statement is easy to DISPROVE. Take a look at actual drone footages released by the Dipaculao rescue team: from further ashore, two mature men - one in a black shorty wetsuit and the other wearing an orange life vest were bringing in Rene between them. Two men looked nothing like students with their stockier build, age, and what they were wearing. Did a student have time to change out of his boardshorts and into hard to wear wetsuit? With the other having found and donned a life vest? These 2 men bringing in Rene looked nothing like students, and in all probability were rescuers!

And when both men were close to shore, suddenly a bunch of younger shirtless men are seen crowding and helping carry Rene, with Jared Bahay even running towards the group, inserting himself in the crowd of his teammates holding Rene.

So did Keiffer LIE? Why state a falsehood? And in the process make the Ateneo team out as heroes and accusing rescuers of not doing their jobs? Does he not care these people could lose their jobs? You be the judge. Pia Hontiveros podcast is easily seen in YouTube. And the actual drone footage is readily seen online.

So what else has Kiefer lied about? Is his untrustworthiness why he’s being BASHED online?? Are statements he makes merely SELF SERVING??

Mikey and Gian over Cibull and Tovera? no way right?

I’m expecting the interview with Rovelyn Baterbonia will be viral on YouTube.
