The Adamson Falcons are taking in two talented cagers from their high school squad.
Guards Peter Rosillo and Mat Edding ¥made commitments to play for the Falcons in college in the coming season of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines men’s basketball tournament.
Soaring Falcons’ coach Nash Racela confirmed their commitments to the seniors’ basketball program of Adamson University.
“This is big for the continuity of our program. We are aware of how other programs do their recruitment and we want to do it another way. That’s why we put so much importance in our high school program in the hope that they will transition smoothly to our seniors’ team,” said Racela.
Rosillo is a 19 year old, 5’8” playmaker from Placer, Surigao del Norte, with averages of 13.79 points, 4.14 rebounds, 2.43 assists, 1.5 steals in 25 minutes.
The 20-year-old Edding is a 6’1” skipper from Zamboanga City, who normed 10.92 points, 7.77 rebounds, 4.62 assists, 2.46 steals in 25 minutes.
Adamson has also added 6-foot Fil-Am guard Mathew Montebon from Newark Memorial High School in California, along with transferee Eli Ramos from Ateneo.
Meanwhile, the National University Bulldogs will keep Patrick Wilson Yu for two more seasons.
Yu decided to stay on with NU after becoming one of the 5,887 passers in the board exams for civil engineers this year.
The 6’3” playmaker is returning after one season.
Buldogs’ coach Jeff Napa said they will have a fitting substitute to guards Kean Baclaan and Steve Nash Enriquez in their rotation.
