Magandang Araw Pilipinas!

I want to thank everybody for voting me. Salamat ng marami sa pagtitiwala!

First order of business, scouting. Let’s be clear, I’ll focus more on Pinoy players with allstar potential and above. Star and below potential? There will be very few exceptions but most likely not, due to cap and potential limitations. So, if you’re interested in training a U21 stud today or in the future, allstar will be my bare minimum, but it’ll be much appreciated if you can get a perennial allstar and above. Hindi kayo magkakaproblema sa cap o pagbagal ng pops sa trainee nyo later on.

I’ll start scouting 20- and 21-year-old players, and then 18- and 19-year-old players afterwards. I ask for patience if your player isn’t scouted yet, it will take a few days to complete this. Target is to finish them before the training update on Friday happens. I’ll also send BB-mail to the managers and ask about training plans and other stuff. Hoping for your replies!

Those players who will be called up for our game vs New Zealand on Monday (March 18, 11pm PH Time), I encourage the managers to buy at least superior sports psychologist for better Game Shape maintenance. Sometimes, even if your player gets the optimal 60-80 minutes per week, there’s still chance they get 7 GS. Sports Psychologist reduces that chance, based on my experience.

To the players who will be included in the pool, I'll be monitoring your game shapes and training progress. I'll be strict on this, especially game shapes.

Onwards to a new season and good luck to all of us!

Congrats Coach Leo! Best of luck! Bring home the GOLD!

Salamat boss! Let's do our best for da gold! :)

Congratz Coach Leo!

Salamat kots Mane este France!

At good luck din sa pagttrain :)

Congrats Boss Leo!

Sa mga gusto mag train ng players for U21, mas maigi na kumuha na kayo ng Utopia Team. Sa Utopia kami nagti-train ng players para sa Pilipinas U21. Main team naman ang bahala sa pag train ng potential Senior NT.

Salamat boss Harm!

Agree ako na kumuha ng Utopia teams, kung kaya ah, di namin kayo pinipilit at di rin kami nagpapautang :D

Payo ko din sa mga gustong magtrain for U21, nakalimutan ko sabihin ang mga ito nung una:

1. Minimum requirement natin ang advanced trainer at advanced youth trainer. Gym at training court, oks lang kahit wala, pero kung meron, much better.

2. Kung may multiple trainees tayo, try to make sure na halos magkapareho sila ng age, skills at height, para walang maiiwan sa isa sa kanila. Mahirap yung maghahabol ka sa isa, say RB, tapos yung isa sobra naman sa RB. Sayang naman yung ilang weeks na sana nagtetrain sila pareho. At kung magtrain naman sila pareho, maapektuhan ang cap nung may sobra, lalo kung primary skill nya yun.

3. Kung nakapagdraft tayo ng U21 or NT prospect, pero wala tayong balak magtrain, kindly sell them for a "reasonable" price. Someone will buy that guy, for sure, lalo na kung mas maaga nyo mabenta, after the draft or 1st week of league games. ;)

If you need help training or other BB-related stuff, pm me or the vets here. We're always glad to help.

All the best!

Magandang araw Pilipinas!

Mamayang gabi ang unang laro ng ating U21 team. Host country ang Lebanon kaya late ang laro.

March 18, 2024
11:00 pm (Manila Time) - Pilipinas U21 vs New Zealand U21

Ating suportahan ang u21 team mamaya.

Sa mga nagtataka kung bakit wala pa tayong players, mamaya natin sila irereveal at iaadd sa lineup ilang oras bago ang ating laro.

Good luck at mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

P.S. Hindi na ako makakapagscout ng players. Kaya sa mga hindi ko nascout na players at nais na magtrain, maaaring nyo isend sa akin ang skills nila (Edit: via BB-mail, huwag dito sa forums) at kung ano ang levels ng trainer at youth trainer.
Maraming salamat!

Pilipinas U21 clobbers New Zealand U21, 119-105

Beirut, Lebanon -- Pilipinas U21 starts their campaign with an impressive 119-105 win over New Zealand U21. The lead even went by as much as 28 points after a Lucio Fulledo hail mary half-court buzzerbeater to end the 3rd quarter, 97-69. It was a brilliant display of balance and efficiency from the Pinoy stalwarts as 8 players scored in double figures. Allan Camilo Onganon led the charge with a double-double, 17 points 13 rebounds. Dino Isaiah Libutaque and David Castanos had 17 points each.

The Kiwis were paced by the 38 points and 8 assists from Albert McGahey, who seemed to be an unstoppable force for New Zealand U21.

Coach Leo felt relieved after his first win as a U21 coach. "I was actually a bit nervous at first", he said. "But, I thank my guys for making me feel that I don't have to worry about a thing or two."

Points Leaders:
Allan Camilo Onganon - 17 points
Dino Isaiah Libutaque - 17 points
David Castanos - 17 points

Rebounds Leaders:
Allan Camilo Onganon - 13 rebounds
Juvenal Delvir - 12 rebounds
Xavier Lena - 9 rebounds

Assists Leaders:
Lucio Fulledo - 8 assists

Next game will be against Pakistan on March 25, 2024, 11:00pm Manila time. See you there and please continue to support Pilipinas basketball.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
