I'm kinda out of the loop in UAAP, I'm curious who that import DLSU is bringing-in on season 78. Is this the Mbala guy? I won't deny that DLSU has a good recruitment team. During my years in school, Allado, Ritualo drove brand new cars back which were rumored to be provided by La Salle while we see Abdul of UST riding tricycles.

I like this Abdul guy. Has a good feel for the game. Didn't expect he has some range on those shots.
Yup, it's the Mbala kid ..... and he will be the best one yet. Guaranteed. The kid is that good.
No offense, but its no coincidence that in the UAAP/NCAA, "good recruitment" is a direct result of crony este corporate sponsorship.
Like what I've been posting for the longest time, such a thing is considered illegal in the US NCAA ..... even a small incident wherein a potential recruit was given pieces of clothing by a booster, made for suspensions and headlines in the US NCAA.
Here in Da Pilipins, garapalan ang pag-recruit nang local HS & Filam players by cronies este corporate executives/tycoons ..... ex. shortly after Jeron goes Taft, we see Alvin Teng become an assistant coach of SMCorp's ABL team ...... the late Bobby Parks given a juicy NU post ..... players driving around new cars (you forgot Mike Cortez bro, he was driving around a new one too).
IMO the UAAP, NCAA and especially the PBA, has become a microcosm of Philippine governance, society and business ..... bigat ano.
Anyways, let's all enjoy the games.
