New UE coach wants ‘import’

New University of the East coach Joe Silva has started to hit the ground running for the Red Warriors and he could earn the biggest
piece of a future championship puzzle sooner than later. Silva, 37, himself disclosed to Tempo-Bulletin yesterday that they are making
an aggressive push to acquire the services of Diliman College’s Senegalese big man Adama Diakhite, considered by many as one of the
most dominant foreign players outside of the UAAP and NCAA circle.

The 6-foot-9 Diakhite, who just turned 21 last month, already attended a pair of UE practices since the former Ateneo Blue Eaglets
tactician, a two-time UAAP juniors champion mentor, started to preside the training sessions last Tuesday.

“We liked what we saw,” said Silva. “Adama has always wanted to play in the UAAP. Feeling niya talented enough siya to play in the league.
Siyempre, kahit sino naming coach, player and even foreign player, gusto sa higher level of competitions talaga.” The imminent arrival of
Diakhite already has the blessing of returning Red Warriors bankroller Bong Tan, who will try to sustain his success after helping the Batangas
City-Tanduay Athletics rule the inaugural Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League conference last month.

“Ang gusto ni Boss Bong, hindi siya papasok sa UE ulit kung magiging talunan lang. He’s a true winner,” said Silva, adding Tan
is expected to sit down with Diakhite and his representatives once he returns home from the United States next week. Silva added
that Tan “actually told us to find an American player para at least marunong na. Talagang gusto ni Boss Bong na maibalik ‘yung
winning tradition ng UE.” The Red Warriors last hoisted the UAAP crown back in 1985.

If things fall according to plan, Diakhite could serve as UE’s first foreign player in UAAP Season 82 since Africans Charles Mammie and Moustapha
Arafat played under veteran Derrick Pumaren back in UAAP Season 77. For now, Silva will have to bring out the best from top gun Alvin Pasaol,
guards Philip Manalang and Christopher Conner, and big men Nick Abanto, Rey Mark Acuno and Will Bartolome ahead of the UAAP Season 81 starting
in September.

From gameface (yungha)

"Word is that blue eaglets amchel angeles and allen tañedo are following coach joe silva to ue. Good luck to them."

Si Tanedo lang nakuha.

And may bagong 6'6 na bruiser from Cehu. May Boffa pa tayo na 6'7.

I already asked Coach Lawrence na baka pwede i-tap pa si Arafat this year habang nagreresidency pa yung Alex.

Eligible pa si Arafat ng 1-2 years depende kung 24/25 sya this season. Lasi 18 pa lang si Arafat noong last season na naglaro sya in 2012.

Di naman considered na pro-league ang MBL kung saan nya nalalaban sa finals si Soulmane Chabi Yu sa finals na kukunin ng UST pamalit kay Akomo.

UE has secured a commitment from CESAFI Juniors Mythical Five and USJR big man Dave Ando, who stands 6’6”

I don't believe in those "commitments" anymore because the recruits nowadays care more about how much they'll gain before they can even produce a damn point for the school. Lipservice. No disrespect to those who committed now and before. What I'm just saying is, we have to get them enrolled ASAP, so that even if they choose to do a Deandre Jordan on us, or a Mario Bonleon, or the most recent, a Mark Nonoy stunt on us, at least they'll feel a sting before they leave.

But to put some positivity on this thread, I am happy that now, we are seeing higher caliber recruits planning on joining the fray.

Nakameeting ng team si Bong Tan last day, mag training sila sa China sa June 10-16. Pero 9 pa lang daw ang sure na kasama:

Pasaol, Manalang, Varilla, Maloles, Gallardo, Strait, Bartolome, Conner, Cullar

Then mukang di tuloy yung Ando at yung import kasi di pa dumadating sa practice hanggang ngayon at binura na ni Artadi mga posts nya sa instagram.

Baka may offer sa iba

Nice may tournament na din sa labas, kailangan talaga nila yun

Sino kaya yung sinasabi sa pex na "DLSZ standout JS, CKSC and former Baby Falcon JA, Hope and former Blue Eagle JA" kung sakali?

Yung JA from Ateneo ay si The Councilor John Apacible. Nakita na sya ng isang RT member kanina sa UE.

when will he be eligible? According to tiebreaker, may 2years eligibility sya sa Lyceum. If ever, how will it affect his playing years for us kung nagenrol sya sa Lyceum just last March?

Updates:

Si Ando mukang sa UST, nagkaonsehan daw pera. Yung agent nanguha lang daw ng pera kina Coach Lawrence then di na nagpakita.

Si Alex Diakhite mukang malabo na, ang laki daw ng hinihingi.

---

Nasa China ang team ngayon para sa 2018 Asian University Games. Then sa july punta sila sa US.

Yung Brix Ramos ng Ateneo nakuha din natin.

UNIVERSITY of the East Junior Warriors captured the 1st Hua Siong Basketball Invitational League title at the Ty Eng Liong Gym of Hua Siong Ledesco Campus in La Paz, Iloilo City.

The Junior Warriors completed Monday a three-game sweep of the three-day pocket tournament after taking down Hua Siong College of Iloilo Red Phoenix 108-100.

Bacolod City native RC Mike Flores waxed hot with 25 points and Shane Dichoso added 17 markers for UE, while Jesse Sullano contributed 12 markers in his first game against his former school.

Lee Yanzi Jimera led the host school with 32 markers. Reynold Tupas and Jann Paolo Villariza were held to just 15 and 14 points, respectively. Hua Siong landed on third place (1-2).

Central Philippine University Golden Lions (2-1) captured the runner-up finish after a 104-88 domination of St. John’s Institute-Bacolod.

Miguel Sasuman maintained his all-tournament-long brilliance with 21 markers while Elcyd Pascual and Antonio Llanza added 18 and 10 markers, respectively, for CPU.

Edison Jumayao finished with 14 points while Kyle Rusell Andrada added 12 markers for the SJI, which finished the tournament on last place (0-3)./PN

AFTER Mark Nonoy and Jean Raven Beliran’s commitment to University of Santo Tomas, another player from Hua Siong College of Iloilo was set to transfer to Manila.

The 6-foot-4 center Jesse Sullano will be moving to University of the East Junior Warriors for the upcoming UAAP Season, Hua Siong head coach Vincent Conlu told Panay News.

“Jesse (Sullano) will be playing for the UE Juniors basketball team next season,” Conlu said. “We chose UE because sila ang unang nag-offer kay Jesse to play in Manila, and I know he will fit there.”

The Santa Barbara, Iloilo native will formalize his move after representing Western Visayas in the 2018 Palarong Pambansa in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, said Conlu.

Sullano said the opportunity makes him ecstatic.

He promised to do his best to help the team avoid another disastrous UAAP basketball finish.

“Nagpapasalamat ako sa tiwalang ibinigay nila sa akin,” Sullano said. “Ang maipapangako ko lang ay I will give my best para makatulong sa team and also improve my game.”

Sullano will join fellow Western Visayas-based players in Juniors Warriors squad – Shane Dichoso (Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental), Joshua Lopez (Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental), John Almacen (La Carlota City, Negros Occidental), Jared Tajonera (Bacolod City), and Darvin Policarpio (Ibajay, Aklan)./PN
