FROM CEC TO UE
4 Cebu Eastern College stars to start UAAP career with University of the East
By Jonas Panerio
Cebu Daily News


Four key players from the 2010 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (CESAFI) juniors division champions Cebu Eastern College (CEC) Dragons were tabbed to play for the University of the East (UE) Red Warriors in the upcoming season of the UAAP.

Reigning juniors MVP, Nike Montalvo, heads a formidable recruitment class that seeks to rebuild the once-proud UE dynasty that has won 18 championships in the UAAP.

Montalvo will be joined by Roy Villarias, Mark Olayon and BJ Zosa. All four were vital cogs in turning the Dragons around from a miserable bunch in 2009 to a fearsome and title-winning one last year.

According to CEC team manager Sammy Sia, the quartet were asked to try out for the rebuilding Warriors, who made the finals two years ago but lost to the Ateneo Blue Eagles.

They performed well enough during the drills and scrimmages highlighted by them beating the regulars of the Red Warriors. This impressed UE head coach Jerry Codinera and team manager, Jesus Tanchanco Sr., enough to offer them slots on the regular squad.

Sia was thrilled at the development and hopes that his players will see their dreams come true in the UAAP.

“We are very proud of the boys. Nike (Montalvo) and Roy (Villarias) were almost shoo-ins and we're even prouder of BJ (Zosa) and Mark (Olayon) for making the team. BJ, inspite of his lack of size and speed, did great while Mark has shown great improvement since his debut in the Cesafi,” narrated Sia.

Should plans not miscarry, CEC is set to have five players playing in the UAAP this season. This includes another former Cesafi juniors MVP, Mark Jayven Tallo, who has announced that he will don the blue and white of the three-time UAAP champions, Ateneo.

Magandang balita yan kasi Fresh from highschool sila. Mahaba haba ang playing years nila para sa UE. Sana mga fresh from Highschool ang mga recruits natin para hindi naman sayang yung training na pinoprovide sakanila ng school.

Tama siguro na mag-recruit tayo sa mga provinces, malay nyo makakita tayo ng prize-recruit na hahasain na lang.

If we can't go head-to-head with the recruitment wars here in the metropolis, we might as well scour the provinces for potential players.

usually naman ng mga stars sa pba na galing uaap karamihan galing sa provinces, best examples are james yap and ronald tubid..

ok yan, mahaba-haba, wala lang ako idea kung ano positions nila..baka puro guards na naman haha

...Raymond Sypongco, the leading scorer in last year’s team, believed that what happened was destiny.

“Me and (John Li Anthony) Damole were very ashamed by what happened last year and being a champion this year is some kind of a retribution for us. Magpasalamat ko sa una ni Lord, sa school officials, sa alumni ug ni coach Jerry kay ni-travel gyud siya para mangita ug players para malig-on ang among team,” Sypongco told Sun.Star Cebu.

One of Jaranilla’s finds was Nike Montalvo, a high-flying wing player from Living Heritage Christian Academy from Bacolod City, who was named the high school MVP.

“When coach said that the school I will be playing with lost by 155 points, I started to have doubts. But I just took it as a challenge. I improved my game and this is the result of our hard work,” Montalvo said in Tagalog.

The Dragons put up a tough fight in the opening half, allowing Ateneo to lead only by a point, 23-22, in the opening quarter despite an 12-point explosion of BJ Soza.

Wingman daw si Montalvo

So wingman pala si Montalvo

kung high-flyer yan, another elmer espiritu in-the-making yan, hopefully explosive and kayang dumakdak hehe

wingman so may pakpak sya LOL

Is Roy Vincent Villarias the son of former UE Warrior Vernie Villarias?

Yung si Benjamin Zosa is a promising left handed player. Parang Borboran.

Si Luis Nikee Montalvo is a blue-chip na kamukha daw ni Papa P. Hmmm

Pareng Ice nabasa ko yun post mo sa PEx, sabi sakin ni Sam Razon last Dec. si Sumang sa 2012 pa maglalaro.

Yun o! Wala man lang kahit isang umabot ng 6'5" hehehe

We badly need somebody playing in the 4-5 position.

ayun oh, magtatayo yata ang ue ng security guard agency haha..

ayos yan..

6 flat na power forward, kakainin ng buhay yan ng mga power forwards ng ateneo, ust at la salle..

si reil cervantes power forward ng feu stands around 6'5, haha the good thing is he opted not to play his final year haha hinahabol yata si paul lee lols

last na nagwatch kami ng fr.martin's cup, puro guard players natin.. ngayon nadagdagan pa ng 4 na guard. okay. haha

UE Security Agency... iba na pala name ng team LOL

Walking away; next season, there won't be any Paul Lee to save UE (pic source)

Season in a Snapshot
The Red Warriors entered the season with Paul Lee recovering from a foot injury, but it was the entire team that played hurt. Though they did manage to end the first round with a single victory, one more than cellar-dwellers UP, they finished dead last in field goal and free throw shooting percentage (both, their own and the percentage they allowed their opponents). Ditto for rebounds.

To their credit though, plus the return of assistant coach Rene Baena, the Warriors rallied, and won 5 out of the 7 games in the second round, including victories against Final Four teams, La Salle, Ateneo and Adamson. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, and they ended the season on the outside, unable to duplicate their Finals run of last season.

Team Needs
- Front court depth, power forwards and centers that provide rebounding and shot blocking
- Someone to assume the go-to-guy role

Outlook
UE management decided not to renew the contract of Lawrence Chongson, paving the way for UE alum Jerry Codinera to take the helm. Unfortunately, this had the direct effect of Paul Lee opting to bolt for the pros, dramatically reducing the odds of this squad making any noise next season. He'll add a tough, defense-oriented system that will stand in direct contrast to Chongson's free flowing offense.

Look for next season to be a transition season of sorts, not just because of the new coach. The Red Warriors will be adding an array of talented young guards to supplement what they currently have, and if they wax hot, they'll be tough to beat. However, once again they'll be playing without a man in the middle, making it that much more difficult to get open shots and critical rebounds to allow them to get out and run. In other words, expect another up and down year, Red and White.

Projected Recruits
- The big name is scoring point guard Roy/Roi Sumang, a former Letran Squire. While he isn't as adept as Paul Lee in distributing the basketball yet, he's an explosive scorer, despite a 5'10" height, and along with Ken Acibar, is expected to be the lead of the Red Warriors' attack next season (there is some speculation that Sumang will still not be eligible next season, will update this situation when new information has been found)
- 6'3" Jairold Flores played sparingly in Season 71 and 72 for the UE Red Warriors before being placed in Team B last season. He may see a return to Team A this season to boost this team's ceiling
- 6'8" Carlos Ortiz has been on UE's Team B for a while, but he's definitely a strong candidate for promotion to Team A, given the current roster's lack of height. Newer reports say that he was removed from Team B before Coach Chongson's replacement
- A pair of shooters that might see some play are Don Trallano, who is said to be able to play 3/4/5, and can hit three-pointers, and Gene Belleza, a former San Beda Red Cub. Both are currently on UE Team B
- As mentioned in a previous post, UE will be getting four recruits from Cebu Eastern College's high school equivalent. The big name there is Nike Montalvo, the reigning CESAFI juniors division MVP. He'll be another dynamic scorer and playmaker, who might be the James Martinez to Sumang's Paul Lee. Of the other three, Benjamin Soza and Mark Olayan are expected to have stints with Team B, while Roy Villarias will get a shot at Team A.
- UE has two giants in the pipeline. The first is Sudanese Ahmed Isam, while the other is Cameroonian Henri Betayene. There is some confusion as to whether or not Isam will be allowed to play next season, but we'll have a better idea when the preseason begins. Betayene, on the other hand, is definitely only eligible in Season 75 or 2012.
- The Red Warriors management are trying to gauge just how they can sway either Baser Amer or Gino Jumao-as to their side. As of now, both are considered mortal locks to join San Beda and FEU, respectively, but you never quite know with these things
- Instead, they might settle for Von Chavez, adding another gutsy scorer to their line-up. Sumang running point with Montalvo on one wing and Chavez on the other will be a scary proposition for any opponent
- UE also has a Fil-Am recruit named Will Turner, who is more of a defensive stopper than a scorer.

Ortiz has been there since time immemorial so i doubt he'll have significant playing time.

Ortiz has been cut from the team before the change of coaching staffs, as well as Ahmed Isam.

Wala akong idea kung pano maglaro ang UE Team ngayon dahil hindi ako nakakapanood ng mga pre-season tournaments lately. Pero sa mga nababasa at nababalitaan ko, hindi naman tayo ganun kahina. May time pa para makahanap ng sentro, may more or less 3 to 4 months pa tayo. Yung Cebuano recruits nga natin wala tayong kamalay malay na mapupunta sila satin, malay natin bigla nalang me ipresent din ang warriors na Sentro sa mga darating na araw. Optimistic pa din ako para sa UE.
