Nice! Thanks for the info!

Thank you for correcting us 😊

Hahahahaha Peter Osang, Ateneo ka na lang!

Baka nga too hard kami on SJ Moore. In my opinion though, he should definitely transfer to the NCAA or out of UST. Dami niyang competition for minutes dun - Gab

@@bolerosph transferring back to NCAA is a good move, Tama kayo. Pero, kung sa UAAP sya, sa UE may pwesto sya for sure.

Most likely hehe

No love for Zamora or Romero? 🤣

Lasalle has always been loaded. They never had issues with recruiting top talent. They have had problems getting the right coach to harness the talent of blue chip recruits. Coach Topex has done a good job establishing a winning culture. As was the case when Coach Aldin was the coach. Remember even recently they were able to get Nelle, KQ, Mike Phillips etc even before winning a Uaap title. -Maui

Accurate yata. I think yun regular student qpi kasi ng ateneo mas mataas na sa required ng uaap across all schools. Kapag hindi nameet ng student/athlete, nawawalan sila ng scholarship pero pwede magrepeat. Si Thirdy may pang tuition, si CJ wala kaya had to leave

@@davedc102 The comparison is admu's regular students (non-athletes) and their athletes. If indeed mas mababa QPI for athletes (required min average grade) then dapat sipa na si thirdy, whether may pan-tuition sya o wala, when he failed to meet this Re scholarship, correct. Pag scholar, mas mataas maintaining grade/QPI. But these are athletic, not academic, scholars. Iba ang value nila sa school. They bring in mileage, that in turn increases enrollment revenues, alumni funding, corporate sponsorships etc. Kaya nga ginagastusan ng schools mga sports teams nila, including recruitment, for such returns

As far as I know Ateneo’s qpi requirement is higher than the Uaap and then you have Coach Tab’s QPI requirement which is higher than Ateneo’s passing requirement. For players/students who have a lower QPI than Ateneo’s requirement you can appeal if you have a failing qpi and not get kicked out immediately. Often times they give you another chance, a probationary period. That could be another reason why players don’t get kicked out immediately and sometimes sit out one year. Recent examples are Verano, Credo and Jolo Mendoza. I believe the higher Athlete qpi was only initiated when Tab Baldwin came aboard. Thirdy had failing grades the year before he came in. -Maui

​@@bolerosph Hi maui, as clarified, tie comparison was bet admu's athletes and its non-athletes (admu's regular students). So by your post, and cj's own acct, nico wasn't being truthful when he claimed admu required lower qpi for its athletes compared to its non-athletes (regular admu students) 11:47 So that's the question, why should admu require higher qpi for its athletes compared to its regular students? Inferior ba regular students ng admu that's why they're required lower qpi? Is it bec these athletes are scholars and given other perks? But as mentioned, the ROI for these athletes are immediately felt by the school(e) thru enrollment revenues, alumni support, merchandise sales etc

Its Coach Tab who requires higher QPI not ADMU as far as I know. Ateneo’s QPI requirement is different also from Uaap requirement. Maybe why CJ couldnt play despite passing the Uaap Grade requirement? I’m not sure havent seen the CJ perez interview/article regarding this. That was pre Tab Baldwin. All I know is the 7 players didnt have passing Ateneo Qpi (per articles during that time) which is why they opted to leave instead of sitting out another year. Now am not sure if Coach Tab sits out players who are below his required QPI I would believe so. Regardless if its his requirement then players have to meet them if they want to play for him. Am fairly certain Ateneo’s only requirment is to pass. Can’t speak for Nico but I think what he’s saying is Ateneo Qpi requiremnet for students >Uaap Qpi Requirement which has always been the case. Maybe he meant other scholars when he said other students. -Maui

17:45 'branding' Ika nya (sam) mismo But the truth may be quite different. Apparently ganun din daw sa bar exams. May 'screening' test, to check if may tyansa ba pumasa yung examinee. Otherwise wag muna mag-take if malabo. Again, DAW lol

Yung mga uto uto lang naman magpapaniwala diyan sa surface level claims nila. Most of ADMU athletes that made it big after graduating are those that are actually athletically excellent and can make money on their chosen sport, or the nepo babies. Otherwise nada (Gretchen Ho is the only exception). UP has Bersola, Mikee, even Gelo Vito and even Estranero are succeeding beyond their chosen sport. These guys were not the typical star players and household names pero they are still making a mark which speaks to quality education. Delulu lang yata talaga tong mga to🤮

Ang funny lang na before pinagtatawanan ng mga fans from other UAAP schools ang UP kasi lagi daw nirarason ang acads or binibring up ang world univ rankings. Bilog nga ang bola.

Yung mahirap makapasok pero madali magstay, I said that was what upperclassmen told me when I was entering college. Hindi po ako yung nag imbento nun. But I do believe that there is some truth to it. First of all, I think we can all agree that UP Diliman is the most desirable or popular college among high school students. It attracts students all over the Philippines and it cuts across all socio economic classes. So the fact na lahat ng tao gusto makapasok sa UP (especially Diliman) makes it even more difficult to get in. Unlike Ateneo or La Salle na mas pang mayaman ang market. If there’s less applicants, then there’s less competition to get in. Dun naman sa easy to stay, I think you proved my point. I’m pretty sure yung AHS classmates mo na patapon hindi naman nakick out sa UP diba? Maybe they were forced to shift or baka nadelay, pero they probably still graduated in UP. Tbh, never pa ako nakarinig ng UP student na natanggal sa UP because of acads (unless siguro di ka na pumapasok). On the other hand, maraming natatanggal ng Ateneo after 1st and 2nd year (I’m not from Ateneo but I know people na natanggal, and my lola used to teach in Kalayaan College tas lagi siyang may a few students from Ateneo College every year). Hence, mas madali magstay sa UP from my perspective. Mas lenient UP sa non-performing students. Parang may chance ka pa to get your shit together. Sa Ateneo, goodbye agad. Btw, wala naman ata akong sinabi na kapag galing sa AHS e matalino agad? Akala ko ba taga UP ka? Nag generalize ka agad? Kidding aside, I think totoo naman sinabi ng friends mo na nadalian makapasok sa UP. I personally found the UPCAT tough, but I know a lot of people na nadalian din. So baka depende rin talaga sa training mo and expertise. Hope this clarified what I said. - sam

UP and UST are not rivals though. Never have been from UP's perspective. Maybe one-sided ang bitterness.

@@masakitnakatotohanan7024 They are actually, esp the 2000's CDC. Their 'cybersabunutan' as they called it then was very intense lol. The last iteration came in 2019 men's basketball stepladder final 4, when the tigers upset the maroons. Once smc revives ust basketball, to the current level of the maroons, this rivalry will ignite again They also are the biggest communities in yuap, so pag ma-revive nga rivalry na to, dapat phil arena na lol

He is the Ateneo whisperer 🤣 - Gab

Somebody has to be optimistic. I will be. But really believe the race for 4th seed of final four is wide open. If Nu struggles like it did during filoil maybe both slots could be open. Leaving any of the other 6 teams battling for those 2 spots. -Maui

Iba talaga kwento ng players mismo. Like 'special' acet etc I reckon their accounts of what really happens in admu basketball are more truthful lol

Hahahaha I said it in the episode, in my mind, UP is the favorite to win the championship because on paper, they are deeper and with more talent all around. But in my heart, I think DLSU can peak at the right time and KQ can carry them to a title Upsets can happen naman 😁 - Gab

Maui had a similar reasoning in S85. He said UP was the favorite to win the championship but predicted Ateneo to win 😊 Prediction is for the future naman. We think UP is the better team now but that might not be the case in the future - Gab

@@bolerosph Gab, if that's the case then DLSU should definitely be the favorites then in your books and not UP. Notwithstanding the valid reasons for UP as being the favorite (I think they are actually), your hunch or gut feel that the KQ factor is too much to overcome for UP in the end should place DLSU a tier above or at the least the same level as UP in your books. Semantics lang siguro hehe but I understand where you are coming from.

@@bolerosph Mas lalo ako naguluhan, Gab. 🤣 Di ba when considering who are the favorites you should factor in the future? Picking the favorites is same as making a prediction right?

Uh hindi naman. UP are the favorites now in my book but for prediction, I think DLSU can upset and edge UP in the finals Picking a favorite right now is very different from prediction of the future

Maui, mahiya ka raw HAHAHA - Gab

Hahaha! I standby my prediction that the final 1 or maybe even 2 slots for final four is wide open to any of the teams oustide UP and DLSU. -Maui

LOL. It just goes to show you didn’t listen to what the question was. Naveen asked us if Francis Lopez leaving or Mason Amos’ departure hurt more from Ateneo’s perspective. So hindi nalang ako sasagot ganun? Stay classy my friend 😂

+1 kay Nico 🤣

Up and La Salle have higher academic standards

Correct to the last dot

You can check out our previous episodes 😊 we've discussed the other teams extensively. It just so happens that Naveen invited 4 Ateneans and prepared questions about Ateneo. Makes sense naman 😁

He hasn't played for DLSU the whole off season though. And no news of whether he will play

"Sumama ka na rin Sam" hahahahaha love it. Sige pressure niyo pa si Sam mag sando! Once he does, I will never let it go until we die - Gab

And yes, that PBA height limit is crazy. The Japan B League has no such thing and it has promoted better competition there

The big mistake of Pablo was he moved to Up instead of joining Dlsu

Yup he is. Apparently didnt meet the QPI/grade requirement to be eligible for S87 for Ateneo. Adamson is strict too with their players I hope he makes sure he will be eligible for S88 for then. Dounga and a few players were ruled ineligible for S86 bec of this. -Maui

Walang Zamora o Romero? 😁

@@bolerosph nyahahha wag muna please haha yung isa nga dun parang takot pa sa bola at takbong pang intrams eh 😅 I hope they stick to whatever principles they have and stop lining up kids who really can’t make it. Sayang yung totoong talented and hardworking.

Malaki rin ang UP 😁 don't underestimate them - Gab

All 100% true. And the only solution the UAAP can think of is to add residency years for transferees 🙃🙃🙃

Hehehe thank you! We doubt it will happen but we never know 😁

Hmm i think they will play their full 5 years, especially KQ. He recruited his friends, Baclaan and Cortez, to play with him so medyo kupal naman kung aalis siya hahahaha - Gab

Agree. UP is the team-to-beat in S87 without a doubt

That was said in 86. It’s too much talent that results in a failure

Hahaha! We gotta call it as it is! -Maui

Hanep sa yaman ung dalawang yan. Mas lalo na si Romero, ksma sa forbes dad nya. Damn son. They better prove themselves to wear that green and white jersey.

Hahaha thank you Sir Jeffrey! - Maui

Hahahahaha just being honest 🤣 - Gab

Hopefully David can get healthy. Rubico looks like he has potential to be good. Problem is Baclaan and Cortez is coming next season. He me be buried on the bench for the next couple of years. -Maui

@@bolerosph for next year, i think they’re going the Nelle/Nonoy PG/SG route for Cortez, Baclaan.. while Rubico comes off the bench as the 2nd string PG (like how David came on for Nelle).. let’s see 😄

Macalalag slips most of the time

Baclaan is not yet out of the woods. He still has a pending case with La Salle

Pinili namin siya! 😁 We liked him

Proud Bulakenyo Russell Ogana. Ganda ng laro nya sa PinoyLiga, kailangan lang bigyan ng bigyan ng chance

He’ll be valuable

True. Athletic wings try him a LOT.. and his endgame issues, I think he misses a Nelle type composure guard to calm them down (then again he is the Elder statesman now in 2024 he should be the composed one)

KQ is still transitioning to playing the wing/guard position fulltime. There will be heartaches but you can see the potential. With the way he works I’m sure he’ll ge a lot better come 2nd round. -Maui
