I hope we can secure our DLSZ and LSGH teams from the prying eyes of the opponents. Katulad nung sinabi ng isa dito, other schools, especially the BLUE one, are already looking at recruiting some of our homegrown players. Dapat magkaroon ng synergy ang Lasallian teams sa UAAP (DLSZ and DLSU) at sa NCAA (LSGH at CSB) so that the green and white in high school will, hopefully, still wear the green and white in college.

I've heard one star player from LSGH has already been recruited by Ateneo and will be playing for them by next year. Hope he changes his mind. Boss Danding do something! :(

Care to mention the name of the player and from whom did you get this info? Otherwise, this is just baseless hear say and innuendo.

Not to discredit the current achievement of our junior teams but college basketball is so much different from High School. Not because one was outstanding in the juniors he can still be dominant in college. I don't want to mention names but we've seen so many cases like this. Of course there are exceptions as well. Our senior players were all great players back in high school that's why they were included in the team. But like i said, some will not be able to adjust to the seniors level of play. So please manage your expectations until these youngsters play in college.

try combining their talents with those from LSGH Jr. Blazers (which is currently 2nd in the NCAA Jrs. Division). I'm really wondering why they don't get recruits from GH. Sayang e.
