        i dont know chris but it appears that sangalang is the only legit big of baste. and he’s not the buff type big that will muscle out with the likes of dave marcelo. or do they have replacements for najorda and bulawan? kindly enlighten us tnx

    8 new players for Baste, and a legit center on one of those 8 players so it means Ian Sangalang will have a winger! with those 8 players are also a legitimate point guard-like Pamboy Raymundo and kudos also to Gino Jumao-as playing for his alma matter as to be added as a scoring machine as well, so within those 8 are a few promising talents for Baste, other 8 has to step up their game to keep up with the newbie talents.

      that would only be suitable if the other team likes to play slow-down ball like adamson. even if both are good runners as big men, it’d be hard if they go chasing everytime down. it’s back to the halfcourt game for the eagles which they departed from since The Bumbay down low smacked people around.

          Hate to bring this up to Ateneans. Watching the Smart Gilas B-meg game, even though I know Norman Black is tutoring Slaughter but he is being repeatedly beaten by Kerby Raymundo and the import. Fakes, Drives, Strong post ups and he fouls more so often than not. It’s true, maybe no one the UAAP/ College level are as skilled as Pros but it might also show that he is not the incredibly dominant bigman people envision him to be. Ateneo is good at team defense so that might take some of his weaknesses away.

          @WES

          Think Rajon Rondo. His shooting skills might not be there yet but the moment it comes he’ll be a local version of Chris Paul (MVP Runner Up version). I can’t remember a PG who dishes the ball as good as this guy over the years. On Team that featured Gotladera, Javier and other good HS players he avg. 11 assists a game. Now he is teaming up with Sudan and company so I’d say he is going to get a lot more dimes.

          Baser also lead the league in defensive rebs. Yep. Even i was shocked. I think he also averaged a good 16-18pts ppg. He drives. Kicks out to the shooters or pass it to gotladera or javier. Or just lay it in himself. He also have a strong upper body. Unusual for his size.
        • red rampant says:

          March 30, 2011 at 1:09 pm

          I saw more than 8 live games with Baser Amer leading the pack. All I can say is he has the best basketball I.Q. both in highschool and you may include college players as well. This kid has instincts like John Stockton. He likes to make his team mates look good. With offensive firepower of the Red Lions, he is the man for plays and run’n gun game. Much have been wrote in the papers and in the net about this player. Everyone seems to agree. He gave back to back titles for the Red Cubs. No matter how good a player is, you can’t be remembered well if you never gained any championship.

          Baser’s line in 2 games in the finals

          14 pts, 9 rebs, 18 assts – game 1
          25 pts, 9 rebs, 8 assts – game 2

          That’s with Chris Javier and Ponso Gotladera in the lineup.

        • Anti-heat says:

          March 31, 2011 at 2:45 am

          The real question here is can he carry over his all around game to the college ranks. Overhyped? Maybe but consider the fact that Coach Toroman already wants him and Kiefer Ravena to join the Smart Gilas roster in the PBA. ADMU and SBC commitments came first of course.

      @PG & Anti-Heat, Kevin Ferrer already suited up for UST Tigers Team A in a pre-season tourney. I think it’s close to say that the rumor he will stay with UST is true. All we need now is to wait for Jeron Teng by next year. By then, hope we could be at the top of the standings soon and rekindle some old rivalry with both ADMU & DLSU. Either way, entertaining basketball for all of us. By the way Anti-Heat, the rumored BIG you were talking about, never played and even mentioned in the preseason. Don’t know if he’ll play this year, all i know UST sources confirmed his existence.

        • Anti-heat says:

          March 30, 2011 at 11:14 pm

          Well he might break his own record of what was it 104 pts. I’m sure he’ll be the big fish next year. Abatayo is no doubt good but he lacks Teng’s international experience and already polished skills. The guy is so good that I think the he is already better than his older brother. That’s my opinion though.

          Teng is good but what position does he play? Is he a big guard or an undersized big man?
        • Anti-heat says:

          March 31, 2011 at 12:36 am

          On the next level he will probably play the 3 position unless he get’s taller. Right now he plays PF as he is 6’3 or 6’4 which is about right for high school right? Only problem is he handles the ball better than almost all of the guards in that league. He rebounds and brings the ball himself often times and scores a layup or off a jumper being defended by a smaller man. I saw a game in B-tv where he put on an 14 or 16-0 run by himself. Only issue is being the best already in that league, will he strive and work harder to improve even more in the coming campaign or will he be satisfied with being as good as he is now realizing it’s enough?

          
        • Dennis says:

          March 31, 2011 at 12:56 am

          anyway guys his brother Jeric is still a smarter player. Yes Jeron is bigger and stronger version that’s basically how he scores at will in the league and he doesn’t really go with the system in XS when he is on the floor he usually does One on One plays and Iso’s and he also has poor shooting. but for somebody with his size he dribbles the ball quite well considering he belongs to the RP youth team. He doesn’t necessarily dribble better than most guards he doesn’t dribble it down the court anyway guards in the league although all lacking in size are still very good players i’ve been watching that league since like forever and they most if not all have better ball handling skills than Jeron. i doubt that this kid will go to UST anyway considering he is gonna be one of the most sought after players when he graduates.i seriously doubt he has much team play in mind if i dunno but when i see his stats they rarely consist much of assists which means when he gets the ball he quickly does his own thing.

    Yeah! This is indeed a more exciting season for the NCAA. Baste will have the chance to regain their crown. Whats exciting is that Baser and Jumao-as will once again face each other in the seniors division. Baste will depend on their scoring prowess while the RLs must once again hold their grounds on the defensive side. Can’t wait.

        A-H, an 18-0 will surely be a tough nut to crack this year. I think chemistry will play a huge role now for the sweep, if ever. But with Baser in the RL who will also distribute the scoring, we will have a huge advantage but again, bilog ang bola.

        I thought the Pinatubo twins were just blowing hot air down FEU’s way, and they will have no time with residency and that PBL thing hanging. No where to go, but surely no loyalty. Sadly they are Mercenaries. And with another Bong Pineda anointed coach, Baste will have a lot of leeway.

        @goldenstags

        Yes one of the surprises will be Bong’s strong presence again dictating the numbers outcome.

        Just an info, Sudan and Pascual might push thru with their personal tactical training on defense and offense. the same training that Ekwe had here in the Philippines with Abe King-the defense pro of pba(i’m not sure)then for sure at the traing camp in the us this summer. This is similar to that of Dwight Howard’s training program. Its a good investment.

      what’s more important with the entry of jumao-as in the stags’ fold is that he will give them what they lost when Jimbo Aquino departed: consistent scoring. abueva is still as good for around 15 and 10 but he can’t pull off games like aquino did during his last tour of duty. kahit over-age na si abueva, may sipa pa yan.

          I think Baste lost or did was not able to put up a fight against Beda was because the lost the game of the generals. Every time Stags make a run and threatens Beda in the form of a turnaround, Hermida was always there to keep the RL’s cool at level needed to keep their poise and composure. Pamboy on the other hand kept forcing the offense. No set plays were made. Shots were created not by plays, but by individual efforts. There were even times where Pamboy almosr looked like Kevin Alas. Pamboy struggled there. His maturity was not in play all. The heart and soul of the Stags at that time, their team captain, did not figure to keep things intact. Had Pamboy only kept things under his control the way he did in the 2009 finals, the RLs would have faced tougher competition.

        Gatchalian is small maybe around Caram’s height or smaller and plays out of control. Medyo mainitin pa ang ulo as evidenced by his suspension last season. Del Rio is still inconsistent pero if I’m coach Turo I’ll still start him ahead of Gatchalian based on his maturity alone.

          March 27, 2011 at 1:07 am

          Not to be a kill joy but I don’t think they will be ideal together. Baser needs the ball, being a pure PG he creates situations to either dish to an open teammate, or score if the defense gives an opening. Kiefer meanwhile creates situations for himself to score based on what the defense shows him, passing is more like a 2nd option. Baser would shine in a team full of finishers like Garvo, Sudan, Dela Rosa. Kiefer meanwhile is more suited to a team that spreads the floor with guys like Long, Salva, Monfort so he has space to operate. In my opinion if you put them together it would be like putting Rajon Rondo and Kobe Bryant in one team.

          wait, pls correct me if i’m wrong, but dlsu has 3 spots open: ferdi’s, banal’s and Tolentino’s. We have Torres, Van Opstal and Sara, who are all rookies, being touted to fill those spots plus a returnee in LA Revilla. Will Gotladera have a spot this season? He may have to wait till next year when atkins graduates…nandyan pa si vigil, pate, at yung ibang players sa team b…pahirapan sa try-outs to.. :)

      I think Pido is at an ultimatum thsi year…he needs to at lest enter the finals in order to be back next year…considering the acquisitions and the natural year to year progressions of those already in the lineup…i think the tigers have a pretty decent shot at a finals appearance this year and a realistic title run next year. this is all speculation at this point though but of course, that is what i’m hoping for. =)

        Not even the presence of his big bro? and of course his father has a say in all this…i doubt he will go to lasalle, he doesnt fit their scheme. if ust at least grabs a final 4 slot this year, jeron might be persuaded by making him think that he is the missing link to put the team over the top…and recent history sways to the favor of ust nabbing jeron next year. the alases, bringases, lagos, semirads, yayas, ciriacruzes, pumarens, sisons for example all played together. the only exception i can think of are the hubaldes…still that is a good ratio. why do you say it will be the end for the tigers if jeron comes in?

          They say that it will be the end for the Tigers coz they noticed that although he is not a true point guard, he dribbled a lot, they don’t understand that perhaps, he had to be a ‘hog’ since most of his teammates are butterfingers and may only lose the ball if he hands it to them or, have it intercepted with all those predictable passing the ball around routine. He can make those outside shots but just like his brother Jeric, he needs ‘better’ consistency. He dominates the painted area only becoz of his size, “big” for a high school player. It clearly appears that his Xavier coaches has full trust and confidence in his playing abilities thus, allowing him to play his game.

          On the other hand, since both AdMU, DLSU and other UAAP coaching staff put their players on a tight leash, I doubt if anyone of them will allow Jeron play his ‘high school’ game (he scored 104 points in a regular, no overtime game).

          But, with Coach Pido’s ‘One from the heart approach to the game of basketball, he may just find his place in this sunny side of Espana, just like his ROY brother!

  ADMU 1st 5:

  Greg Slaughter – 6’11
  Nico Salva – 6’4
  Ryan Buenafe – 6’3
  Kirk Long – 6’2
  Eman Monfort – 5’5

  2nd 5:

  Justin Chua – 6’5
  Frank Golla – 6’5
  Bacon Austria – 6’2
  Kiefer Ravena – 5’11
  Juami Tiongon – 5’7

  This is based on the team’s best players according to position. I still see Ryan Buenafe coming off the bench and leading the second stringers. What do you guys think?

  They can field in their all-rookie team and still be competitive.

  Rookie team:

  Greg Slaughter – 6’11
  Gwynne Capacio – 6’3
  Von Pessumal – 6’2
  Kiefer Ravena – 5’11
  Mark Tallo – 5’10

    there’s a bit of a mistake in your starting 5. it will be Nico Salva leading the second unit and lead the team in scoring once more. so it should read:

    Starting 5:

    Monfort
    Long
    Slaughter
    Buenafe/Sumalinog
    Golla

    and your second unit would be:

    Tiongson
    Ravena
    Chua
    Salva
    Sumalinog/Buenafe

    Tallo i think needs to ripen more… and erram will be a victory cigar in the early run before proving his worth, like he did last year, in the play offs.

    the second unit is as good as the starting unit without missing a beat. Nico Salva will be much much better than the Rocket and pick apart opposing benches either posting up, facing up or ramming the leather into the rim.

          Not only that he shifts directions and evade defenders very well so height might not be such a factor for him. If grows up to about 6’2 look out he’ll be an even better version of James Yap.

          
      • Anti-heat says:

        March 23, 2011 at 11:44 pm

        Exactly similar to how Glen Capacio played Romeo last year. He’ll force some shots and Coach Norman will howl from the bench at him for it but once he gets some minutes in especially from blow out games, he’ll eventually learn how to play in a system that doesn’t revolve around just him. The guy is just too talented to keep on the bench I imagine him starting especially in the final four onwards. He’ll no doubt make a huge impact but I think Ray Parks might be the ROY unless he fizzles out for some reason.

          They have 2 great players and other question marks. While ADMU, DLSU, ADU, FEU (maybe) and UST have more than 5 not only great but quality players. Question is what happens to NU if a team manages to shut down both Parks and Mbe.

        The good thing about Ateneo ball, especially w/ Coach Black, the know when to use a player. To me, ADMU has the most effective player utilization scheme. They will know when and how to utilize well Monfort and Kiefer.

        Did they win? When did B-Meg get the lead cause I can remember Gilas with the lead when Douthit was on the floor. He had 7 blocks yeah you are right but those came with 5 turnovers and 4 fouls. Also count how many points in the paint B-Meg scored. B-meg had 70 rebounds (How the hell did that happen wow) while Gilas had 49. It’s true it’s not entirely his fault they lost the game but B-meg made that comeback by attacking him down low. Basketball isn’t a 1 stat sport learn something and comeback here when you do.

          Please be reminded that there is only one ball and Gilas would rather give it to Tiu, Casio, Lassiter, Douthit and even Aguilar and Baracael rather than Slaughter. Nevertheless, he was still so effective without the ball. 7 blocks? Paano pa kaya sa Amateur? 10 blocks per game? 10 rebounds per game and at least 10 points per game. Triple double average siguro noh?

          Please wait for the season because ADMU will be Slaughter, Buenafe and Ravena will all be counted to score this time, with Kirk as the acting leader. Slaughter, in a Norman Black System? Grabe yun.

          Kawawang DLSU.

          March 28, 2011 at 12:23 am

          Please also be reminded that as a Center his job is to block shots (duh) and rebound. He was effective in blocking shots, rebounding let’s see Pingris who is 6’5 had 19, Kerby who is 6’6 had 12, their 6’2 import had 9, PJ Simon who is what 6’0 had 8 and 7’0 Greg Slaughter had 3! I’m not entirely putting the blame on him but fact is B-meg made a comeback when they went at him underneath the basket. He blocked shots yes but it came back to the B-meg players hands where they either scored on the 2nd or 3rd attempt or went at the foul line. You say a lot of funny stuff for a ADMU band wagoner while it may be true DLSU might get killed by Ateneo we’ll make sure we actually fight in the game not with just words. ADMU isn’t the only team that got good recruits.

          Well they can play up to six games this season if this scenario occurs. They play each other twice during eliminations as per usual then end up being tied for first (Ateneo won’t be battling for anything but first in my honest opinion) They have to settle who is first or second so that’s a 3rd game. Then of course meet in the best of 3 finals that goes all 3 games. So 6 sold out games at Araneta. Well for that to happen La Salle’s recruits better be as good as the forums say they are.

          i’m sure your recruits will do well. torres and webb will be the key factors, i think. the return of la revilla, will be big as well. ateneo’s strength is their frontcourt, but your backcourt will be a nightmare to opposing teams. good luck to both your teams. i’m hoping to see uste and up bounce back as well. this’ll be a good year for college ball!

      you really can’t compare slaughter’s performances in the pros to what he might do in the uaap…they are pros for a reason…the level of play they are currently at are far from what slaughter will be facing in the uaap. yes he got bullied and abused down low by bmeg but there is nobody in college that can matchup against pingris, kerby or especially an import…he is still raw yes but his is a bit more talented than 95% of the centers in the uaap for sure.

  I spent the past hour reading TIDR’s posts and comments, and I’m gonna say that he is just a GRIEVING RELATIVE. He’s grieving for the failure of his relative Ogie Menor. And TIDR is blaming San Beda and its globalization.
  Just a while ago, there was a commotion in a nearby elementary school. A parent charged, arguing why her son is not the valedictorian. Totally reminded me of That Important Defensive Board.

    Its just frustrating, Outback Outlaw. PG said, the import will make the local fight for his spot in a team. But how can the local fight, when he already lost. The spot was already given to the import. And he’s saying the local got better?

    • Anti-heat says:

      March 25, 2011 at 5:15 pm

      No offense but if he really wanted that spot he could’ve worked his tail off knowing that he is competing against an import. Sometimes you have to face the fact that the roster is for 12 guys only and if he isn’t picked then that must mean the management thought he wasn’t good enough. He should take not getting picked as a motivation to work even harder. Jordan wasn’t picked in his first year at high school and look where it took him. The problem is instead of getting better they got bitter.

      the spot was given to the import because of his superior skill level to that of the local. the local, knowing the difference, would work on his game in the offseason, making him better and probably, upending the import’s spot. you see, that is liable to happen only in big schools. but for the small schools with imports? i don’t think so. did austin manyara steal a spot in adamson? no he didn’t. the locals shine brighter than him, as opposed to emmanuel mbe, where he is their best player.

        Exactly. They would have put on the mantra “FIRST TO ENTER THE GYM, LAST TO LEAVE THE GYM”. Before the African invasion, were there players like this? Only quite a few. As far as I am aware, and this is not because I’m a half-Jesuit & half-dominican, Blue Eagles of 2002 & Tigers of the 4-Peat. This are the only teams who had their players on this kind of mantra that I am aware of. And oh, yeah. Ren-ren Ritualo. While a junior, he practices at least a hundred shots more than the rest of his peers. Other than him on that team? No one made extra effort. He was taking 3-pointers as if we was in a sleeping bed. Yeah, his back was right at the floor. Only a handful of players had that mantra. You guys know why? No big of a threat in the likes of this Africans are present. Instead of putting extra hours in the gym, players go tv & radio shows, commercial shoot, concerts, club. etc… that’s how it is.

      And if he can’t compete for that final roster spot then maybe he needs to choose another career besides basketball. Seriously all you have to do is impress the coach enough in practice then sit on the bench come gametime. If you can’t even accomplish that then maybe you are just not good enough to play professional ball. Mag aral ka na lang mabuti.

      No prob. We took a gamble on him just like we took a gamble on some of the cagers we took. Ryan Arana proved quite a good gamble, so did Cholo Villanueva. We figured he had the athletic ability to be a force on the defensive end. Well we thought wrong obviously.

        Thought Arana had a very high basketball IQ. He was really good in reading the defense, getting past throuhg and going around those clogged lanes of every team defense. Making his speciality, “the short stab”, in to good work. Pochollo was an underrated stabilizer of the team.

        If I remember correctly, Manny Pangilinan once set up an exclusive league for 6’0 and above and only 18 years and below. What was a blur to me was who the league MVP was. Was it Jean Marc Pingris o Ryan Araña.
        And my point, I don’t think Araña was a gamble. He was obviously good.

      No Offense to anyone, but the Philippine version of the NCAA is not really the best provider of talent for the PBA. Now, TIDR, if we are going to base it at that, then its you’re cousin in law’s fault by not making it big in the pros.

      But lets think positive, shall we. Menor might not be the Patrimonio or the Adducul or anyone YOU want him to be, but at least he can be the Ogie “LBJ” Menor, the PBA D-League’s first ever Most Valuable Player.

          I was a big, big fan of the Answer, Allen Iverson. He has the skill and the heart. Sending his Airness to school, scoring over and under opposing teams’ frontline.

          But he’s disillusioned. He wants everything his way. Iverson doesn’t want to practice, doesn’t want to be substituted and doesn’t want to come off the bench.

          He thinks the team exist for him, and not the other way around.

      the teams consists of 12 players…why are you pitting menor against an import? hindi ba pwedeng ibang local ang palitan nya instead? that just means that 11 other locals are better than him…or are “mas malakas ang backer”..hehe problem with menor though is he has a subpar basketball IQ…the talent, athleticism, potential is there…he just isn’t a good decision maker…taking forced shots, sleeping on d and the like…those are coachable mistakes though so we have to question his being coachable. menor is where he should be right now, in the amateurs working on his game. don’t be frustrated TIDR, gary david and pj simon spent almost 5 years in the pbl before getting a spot in the pba…if ogie works hard on his game, he might just be the next “mr. pure energy”.

    its impt to win in preseason..when the stags grabbed the NCAA crown from the Red Lions, they had already faced off and won 2 out of 3 preseason tourneys that year.

    I’m sure all of the NCAA will bring their A game when they face the RLs.Its going to be doubly harder to achieve a 18-0 this time around.

    But I’m sure as well Frankie will spring a surprise or two.I’m kinda disappointed that some red cubs could not wait a year to crack the rotation but still wish them well in their new colegiate teams.

    heres to the start of a new year as we begin the preseason Vs the Blue Eagles on April9.

  The team who wins the FilOil is by no means guaranteed success. Teams use this for tune-ups, lineup adjustments and an opportunity to scout opposing talents. That said, it doesn’t hurt to bring momentum during the university games.
