BREAKING: MASON AMOS TRANSFERS TO LA SALLE!!! + UAAP News Round-up

Hahhaa oo nga eh! Its one of the reasons we didnt want konov to go to Ateneo because they have similar play styles based from what I saw sa Gilas youth. -Maui

[@jeffreytimbang6756]

I kinda feel bad for ADMU. 1. They've been struggling offensively with Amos in the Pre-season and here we are getting the news that he Transferred to DLSU. sya nga lang yung potential go to guy ng ADMU side from Koon mawawala pa. 2. Tab being surprised that he left means, he didn't tell anyone that he's leaving. That will leave a sour taste in every ADMU fans. Kahit mga Team mates nya, even Gamber threw a bit of shade sa IG Story nya haha. 3. If ADMU doesn't felt the need to sound the alarm after all those losses in the pre-season tourney, I think this should. Kailangan nang makahanap ng papalit kay Amos, at Legit na FSA. But we only got 2 months and masikip na oras na yan. Pero kapit lang Sam, Gab and Maui. There is still hope for ADMU. Can I just say though. Bad move, Amos. Your development might get stunted dahil mawawalan ka ng significant minutes. Kita mo naman yung Log Jam ng Bigs sa DLSU. nandun pa si Konov at Pablo. Bakit dun pa. Pwede ka naman sa amin sa FEU Hahahahah charot

Thats a good thing tho cuz Topex System will forced Mason and Konov to work even harder esp Sa defense. Its revolves around the run and grind style of play. They will need to bring in if they want PT

[@CarloRago]

Hey Guys! Congratulations on getting new sponsors. Wishing you for more! Quinton Millora Brown - I agree he is not really needed because the current trio of centers are performing better than expected. Since UP was recruiting him for so long, they had to accept him when he finally decided to join the team. It's definitely Gagate who will be the odd player in this scenario. In fact, he did not join the team in Serbia; and Lopez too. Mason Amos - We should also consider that players leave because they do not like the style of their previous coach. We all know that Tab, Gold, Jeff Napa, and Jack Santiago are very demanding coaches. So it is not surprising if their key players decide they prefer to play under a coach who may be less intense. Topex is the type because he is laid-back and spiritual in his approach. On the other hand, it looks like KQ is leaving after Season 87. There is some speculation that he may have convinced Amos to take his place (ala Carl Tamayo to Francis Lopez).

[@bolerosph]

Yeah, no choice talaga but to get QMB since they had been recruiting him for so long. And if you didn't get him, baka sa iba pa pumunta hahaha It might be the coach but from our discussions/long talks with Mason, we can confirm this was not the issue

[@bolerosph]

And yes, i think KQ definitely played a role in getting Mason. Magkasama na sila for a few weeks hahaha

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

You rather have QMB than Gagate for 1 year where Gagate is injured

[@CarloRago]

@@bolerosph Hi! Considering he did not admit to Coach Tab when asked if he was leaving; I don't think he would tell you if he had a problem with Coach Tab.

[@bolerosph]

Maybe. But gauging from our lengthy talks with Mason (and we've spent some time talking to him, not counting the on air recordings) and even his dad, let's just say if he was displeased with someone, he would say it

[@danpambid2831]

on qmb: all valid points by maui and gab, but sam hit it right on the head. imagine being 2 games away from a three-peat? lost g3 to admu in se85, lost g3 to dlsu in se86. masakit yun. add to that na up is the host for season 87. may funds naman ang maroons, im sure theyll do anything to solidify a championship for se87. all out na yan.

[@bolerosph]

Agree. A great addition for UP to bolster their championship chances 👍 I just feel bad for Alter, Stevens, and Ududo. They were all already playing less than 15 mins a game (and playing very well) and that will surely go down to less than 10 mins per game, if ever they get to play. I'm assuming that QMB gets majority of the center minutes - Gab

Good move for jake gaspay im dlsu fan but wala cya mapapala sa dlsu kung ma iistock cya sa bench. Hindi tulad sa benilde magagamit cya ma save ang basketball career nya. Bakit ka makisiksikan sa loaded na teams kung wala kang playing time.

[@bolerosph]

Totoo! Baka siya pa maging next Will Gozum. Halatang may talent si Gaspay, kailangan lang ng playing time

[@Kirie01]

I was shocked when I first saw the news article about Mason transferring to DLSU. Akala ko pa nga joke because July 1 is int’l joke day hahaha. But it was a TBT article, so high chances na legit (and legit nga). I’m just puzzled as to why Mason chose DLSU because of the depth that he knows is already there and super dami niya kaagaw sa minutes. Mason and Konov have similar skills - both are tall guys with shooting, but not really that good on defense. Si Pablo rin kasabay niya papasok. Poli, KQ, and Mike Phillips will all still be eligible by Season 88 tho we don’t know if they’ll stay. Di ba nga si Poli muntik na umalis this offseason (one factor daw was pagpasok ni Pablo and recruitment of other bigs). Si Mike mukang malabong umalis agad because very particular ang whole family niya about commitment and education - his mom has a PsyD and his brother Ben is a PhD student doing a lot of things din (I swear grabe intensity ng Phillips family, parang di nagpapahinga sa dami ng ginagawa). As for KQ, may chance na magstay siya kahit madaming pro offers because he was instrumental in recruiting Baclaan and I think nakita naman ni KQ na maraming Filipinos who play abroad ay nababangko lang kahit magagaling (Tamayo being the most recent example afaik). I think Mason would’ve been in the best situation in ADMU to go off and show off his skills. Sayang, yun na sana “try-out” niya for a big contract abroad. Mason will have to fight for his minutes in DLSU. Ang ayoko lang sa decision ni Mason is the timing of the announcement. Hope this doesn’t affect the games of Gilas sa OQT. Side note lang, Mason’s transfer to DLSU will give more ammo to those who are pushing for the new residency rule na 1 year redshirt = minus 2 years of eligibility. Hope this rule doesn’t happen kasi mas marami talagang transferees who are just looking for minutes or who need to leave their current school due to non-basketball reasons. About QMB’s recruitment, may rumors daw na tho Gagate may heal on time, he won’t be ready competitively once magstart UAAP season (makes sense since he missed preseason prep). So it’s very possible na he won’t be on the roster to preserve his playing years. If Gagate plans to transfer, this is the time to do it. Para his redshirt year is dedicated to healing and getting better. If he decides to transfer, sana lang he’ll choose to transfer to a school kung san magagamit siya. P.S. Very happy for Geo Chiu! 🎉 Sana di lang siya ibangko.

[@bolerosph]

Agree with everything that you said. Great analysis

[@miggyalejandro]

Ngl, that move weak AF. I don't know about everyone else but we grew up watching guys like Enrico Villanueva and Larry Fonacier. Players that bled blue and white. Back in the day, players played for the name on the front of the jersey. Not the back.

[@bolerosph]

Enrico and Larry are true blue. Mason kasi is not from AHS (technically he was for a year but went back home due to the pandemic). So maybe there’s less “pride” in being an Atenean. That’s why the Thirdy Ravena team was so special. They had so many guys from the Jrs. team (Ravena, Nieto bros, SJ, Mamu). I think ito rin yung nawawala sa Ateneo now e. The Jrs. program isn’t as good as before. Nieto and Porter lang. Sana Ford Arao can make them competitive again.

[@M1gs]

Ngl, you just bitter because he left your team.

Gaspay would have had a chance. An energy guy. Good defender. Great pick up. Daja showed some promise in the PinoyLiga. Gives some shooting and athleticism to the Blazers. The Amos move was really shocking. Although I've been hearing rumors, didn't think that would happen especially with Bahay choosing to go to Ateneo.

[@bolerosph]

Great pickup for the Blazers! And the kids still get a chance to continue their La Sallian education so good move din. Yeah, I think that’s why people are so shocked about the Amos thing. Cause he helped recruit Bahay to Ateneo. Then he changed teams before they get to play together. - sam

[@bolerosph]

Anytime you can get a player like QMB, even for just one season, you say yes. And agree w/ UP getting him specifically to counter La Salle. But may mawawalan opportunities for sure. Most likely it’s Gagate since he hasn’t played much for the team. Wouldn’t really blame him if he decides to transfer to get more playing time.

Mason went to Taft, bent the knee, and declared for House La Salle saw it sa one sports then kung ano ano pa tiningnan kong sources to confirm the news. di rin talaga ko naniniwala. Interesting sakin if La Salle recruited Mason or Mason reached out to La Salle. Obviously he wants to win a UAAP championship, and it's really UP and DLSU that are legit contenders. Either way, it's a rival school. And I think, since Mason's still young, yung UAAP na na-experience niya baka nga tingin niya UP pa yung bigger rival.

Imagine suffering injuries for 2 consecutive years and then coming back, if he comes back in 88, with all the talent in the world to compete with.

My thoughts on the Amos transfer to DLSU. I think he wasn't ready to be the go-to guy in ADMU as he's groomed to be. In DLSU, he has room to grow without that added pressure. For the S88 rotation, i think Policarpio will go pro after this season and not sure bout KQ as well.

Not surprised players now no longer loyal to the teams which discovered and gave them the opportunity they just wants to join the bandwagon effect of joining a l loaded and seeded team expected to win championship,.i felt bad for Ateneo, seems like their recruiting had suffered big blows, could it be that their staunch backer MVP had shifted its sight to other priorities.

That’s something we have to wait and see. Havent heard any rumors where he intends to transfer. -Maui

[@joseandaya4506]

Is qmb eligible to play since he played 5 years in the US ncaa?

[@bolerosph]

He is because 1 year wasnt counted as eligibillty bec of Covid. Its in the article that was posted. So I guess the Uaap allowed it also. -Maui

[@msmelvel]

@@bolerosphbut even if you don’t count the COVID year, he still would have played five years. 2018-19 played for Rice It was the 2019-20 season of NCAA that was cut short. All affected athletes were essentially given an extra year of eligibility because of this cancelled season. 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023 were all full NCAA seasons where he competed for Vanderbilt 2023-2024 was another full NCAA season where he competed for Citadel. There is no way he has another eligible playing year. Nagpapa uto na naman ang UAAP board sa backers ng UP if that’s the case.

[@EdwardGGaming]

The timing of the announcement was just off. He could have announced it after the OQT. Look now on Wiggins' situation in GSW holding him back to play for Canada in the olympics due to the fear of decreasing his trade value asset.

Mason Amos was A student tho very wise and very disciplined from what I was told Aka his former professors

[@drewf89]

so much basketball movement today! sadly, this is what happens when the money is unchecked. two teams are just hoarding talent right now. Mason had a huge role, a coach that is proven to develop prospects to have great pro careers, and one of the best young point guards (his NT teammate and supposedly good friend, too) - yet he still opted for a, chance to get a chip aside, possibly less favorable situation.

[@fredtacang3624]

May pera din naman admu. And they've been doing this for decades, starting in lipa's time Question is, after re-signing bahay into the blue corner, away from the prying maroons, who else would they go for in terms of recruitment? Di naman dukha o kuripot si pangilinan, at di naman inutil si tab, esp sa recruitment

[@drewf89]

@@fredtacang3624 sino na poach nila in recent years? And don't say Bahay, he never played for anyone else. They got good young recruits in Amos and Bahay from HS. But who else was really elite/highly coveted in recent years? Meanwhile UP and DLSU got guys like Remogat and Amos who were star players of other teams in the Srs Div. Look at what's been happening the past few years, look how many players are in UP and DLSU. Why are their player pools huge with big name transferees and FSAs vs Ateneo's? Tab's track record when producing pro careers is unmatched but he's not building huge player pools with tons of big names. Of course may pera din ADMU, tanong kung mas madami willing i-gastos ba yung ibang teams? Problem now is if recruiting/winning turns into a bidding war.

[@fredtacang3624]

​@@drewf89 Make your reference past few decades, not just a myopic past few years. Also, how do you define poaching? Student-athletes are free to transfer schools whenever they like, even midstream. Like when the ravenas left their original GS; or sotto, lopez leaving their original HS's; and slaughter, baclao, ramos leaving their original colleges etc Recruitment happens at any time in any student-athletes life. Just like these topnotch transferrees to admu's different programs, even as early as the GS level. Happening for several decades already

[@drewf89]

@@fredtacang3624 why focus on the past few decades? the UAAP is way different now. Popularity has exploded. and with that comes money. I wholeheartedly agree. Student-Athletes are free to transfer schools, and should be given the freedom to. But the issue is it appears that some teams are hoarding talent just to prevent other schools from getting them. What are you gonna do with more than two FSAs? Two is perfectly understandable. But anything above that? C'mon. And again, I was replying to what you said - Ateneo, spends, same as DLSU and UP, right? But I'm asking, how come we don't see established stars moving to Ateneo? We don't see them with 20-30 elite players pools? Multiple FSAs? Yes, players have the choice and final say. But some guys can't say no to the money, cause they need it and of course there are those that just want money and/or an easy ring. So the highest bidder wins.

[@fredtacang3624]

@@drewf89 Are you new to the yuap? League has been popular as far as I can remember. I don't recall watching F4/finals games that weren't filled to the rafters, even during the '90s. That's why schools have been spending big money on their teams, to drum up enrollment revenues and alumni funding/support Just like when pangilinan revived admu's program more than 2 decades ago. Yes, we look at decades not just years to get a bigger picture and proper context. Even NB's 5peat teams were said to be hoarders. Esp with the rookie class of salva, buenafe etc, and transferees like erram,etc So when admu was doing it ,out-spending/out-recruiting the competition (even as early as GS/HS), it was ok? But when it's others that are doing it, it's not? That's just hypocrisy right there And yes I agree with you, then and now, highest bidder wins. That's why up failed to snatch bahay away from admu, and now admu failing to hold on to amos In the game of high stakes recruitment, you win some (bahay), you lose some (amos)

Mason must get himself ready for a bj manalo treatment after leaving admu..
