Seniors Playing Their Last Year in College

[b a d a s s]

That's what I also thought, but isn't there any restrictions that you must be in your last playing year before you could apply for the draft and actively play for your school at the same time?

SSC's Leo Najorda, Letran's Aaron Aban & Boyet Bautista, San Beda's Yousif Aljamal, Borgie Hermida, Pong Escobal, PCU's Espinas and JRU's Marvin Hayes et al. were all playing their last college year when they joined the draft in the middle of their respective last NCAA season.

No such restriction. So long as you meet the PBA's requirements as to age (22yo), etc., then you can apply for the draft.

Pong Escobal was still eligible to play one more year for SBC when he applied for the draft. At that time, he already earned his degree and won 3 championships in the NCAA so he (rightfully) decided to move on.

^I'm quite certain that it was Pong's last season when he joined the draft. Remember that he was a transferee from Holy Cross of Davao. hence, 2 years was deducted to his playing years that's why he only played for three seasons with San Beda.

A player of course can join the draft anytime he wished in accordance to the PBA rules, but Collegiate Leagues has it's own rules that prohibits this and that. PBA came up with a proposal to both NCAA and UAAP to allow their senior players to join the draft while still playing college. the condition is that the PBA Team that drafted an active collegiate player has the rights to sign the player but the team cannot sign him yet and the player cannot join the team nor the PBA team to demand him to join their practices right after the draft. The drafted collegiate player will only be allowed to join the team after the first semester of the school year since basketball is a 1st sem sport. The proposal of PBA was approved by NCAA but the idea was rejected by UAAP.

I'm not sure though if it was included in the agreement that an NCAA player can join the PBA draft and allowed to play for his college team at the same time "as long as" the player is in his last season and should seek permission first to NCAA MANCOM.

If Abueva(having 2 more playing years left in him) is allowed to join the PBA draft then I stand corrected, but until then I'll stick to my understanding.

By the way is Sudan Daniel still eligible to play next season?

I remember correctly, a member of the coaching staff mentioned that Pong played in a league which was considered a "developmental league" only - akin to the FMC - such that his playing years in Davao were not counted insofar as his NCAA eligibility was concerned.

By the way is Sudan Daniel still eligible to play next season?

He is no longer eligible.

Mar Villahermosa is also in his last year of eligibility.

[FerdinandMarcos]

a hearsay from a coaching staff doesn't convince me much. I'm not saying that it's not true though. I'm not just that convince. Like I said, if Abueva plans to apply for the draft and was allowed by NCAA then I'll say that I stand corrected.

Why is our american friend Sudan Daniel can no longer play next season? This year won't count in as his playing year because he was never included in the lineup. Is it because of his age?

1 more year big guy!


How about si idol Dysam ng Perpetual.. este Letran?

[u neek]

^^Last Year na ni Dysam. Kasabayan(Kasikuhan) pa ito ni Hermida nung naglalaro pa sa perpetual c Dysam. I just find it funny that when Dysam Transfered to Letran, Perpetual never complained but when Marlon Gomez transfered from Letran to Perpetual biglang protesta ang Letran. Don't take my statements seriously, I don't know the whole story..

[Rafiboy_05]

^^

magkaiba yata sila ng case. yung kay Marlon Gomez kasi naka-enroll daw siya sa Letran tapos biglang nasa lineup na siya ng perps (yun ang sabi nila). yung kay Dysam naman is hindi na siya naka enroll sa perps nung lumipat siya sa Letran.

I'll just give you another name - James Sena.

Just check with Mr. Google his playing years, age at the time of the draft, etc., so you can convince yourself that NCAA players can come out early and apply for the draft.

[MakaveliLives]

Tanda ko si Sena nung na-draft eh naging baduy yung laro. Halatang nag-i-ingat na. Tapos nung hindi siya binigyan ng kontrata eh biglang humataw uli. Kaso, huli na.

3 years pa ba sa NCAA si Calvin Abueva?

Kung itutuloy pa ni Abueva ang NCAA Career nya, last season nya next year, Season 88.


Cutoff this year is 1987. 1988 daw si Abueva, so, hanggang next year pwede pa sya sa NCAA.



***Nakalineup po si Sudan Daniel sa Red Lions this year (http://www.ncaa.org.ph/season87/bb_sbc.php)(wala si Sudan Daniel sa team photo dahil ng araw na kunan ang picture na yan, yun din ang araw ng operation nya for his acl injury) at 1987 po ang birthyear nya. kaya nilineup or not, last season na nya ngayong taon.





**Si Nuilan po ang nanggaling ng Letran, hindi si Gomez(si Gomez,originally from PCU, napunta JRU then Perpetual),. si Nuilan, from FEU, to Letran, then to Perpetual po.

[dark_blue]

Si Dysam ata pwede pang maglaro next year. Di ba 24y/o ang age limit tapos 5 playing years ang max? Kasi 1989 ang YOB niya tapos pang 4th yr. niya ata ngayon sa NC.

[FerdinandMarcos]

Dysam is already in his third year as a knight, if you add up his two seasons with Perpetual this will be his 5th and Final season in the NCAA.

[AltarBoy^_^]

McCoy of CSB is on his final season as well! Looks like this may be the final year for the remnant transferees from the PCU Dolphins.

[AltarBoy^_^]

whatever happened to that 6'5 bartolo guy from baste? paolo taha's turning out to be a sound investment for you guys.

next year's looking good for the blazers, the team already has a solid point guard (sinco and altamirano), shooting guard (lastimosa and taha) and small forward (romero and grey) rotation. now if you can add quality power forwards and centers (is tyler fikowsky still with team B?) next year then not only will CSB be competitive but in all likelihood it'll be a final four team.

sorry, but ian dela paz and jan tan (how many years do these guys have left anyway?) are at best backups at power forward and center.

OT discussion na tayo!

Fikowsky, Bartolo, and Tolentino are suiting up next season since they need to stay in CSB for another schoolyear as transferees.

Is Anjo Caram on his last playing year?

Is Anjo Caram on his last playing year?

Not yet; he has one more year (since he was demoted to Team B in Season 84).

[ogagka0606]
