Latest additions to the Green Archers D-Team

Here are three more members of our D-Team. They are Fonzo Gotladera from San Beda, Louie Vigil from JRU and Michael Pate from La Salle Greenhills. Gotladera was part of the back-to-back champion San Beda Red Cubs while Vigil was a former NCAA Juniors MVP.

Aside from being the main catalyst for the Greenies, Pate was among the three high school players who represented the Philippines in the 3-on-3 competition of  the Youth Olympic Games held in Singapore last year.

If they do make the team, they will provide a significant boost to the Green Archers’ frontcourt.

Thanks for the response. Are the Archers fielding in a team in the D League being announced in the newspapers?

As per my good friend Coach Dindo Pumaren said, nobody is guaranteed a spot in the 16-man UAAP roster. “Everyone’s battling to make the team, even our veterans, It doesn’t matter if you’ve played two, three or four years with the team. We want all the guys to compete.” In other words ..... Senority is not a factor in making it to the UAAP Team.

Does that mean that there will be players who will be bumped off the team?

Most likely. In terms of eligibility, no one from last year's team has graduated. Let's wait for the upcoming summer pre-season leagues to know more or less who will be the aspirants for next season's team

Not sure but Gotladera is probably around 6'5 while Vigil and Pate stand 6'2-6'3
