UAAP Season 77 - Unity in Excellence

[funkeemunkee]

^totoo pala hinala ko. UP needs to skim the provinces for raw material, rather than be content with B players of Manila schools. Obviously it cannot compete incentive-wise with say ADMU and DLSU, who get majority of the blue chips.

Yun daw UP Maroons is a bunch of rejects, "hands me down", & from team B of other schools.

Yan ang sabi ni Madrid. Paano raw mananalo......

Langya, nilait ni coach team nya....

Hugas kamay. Pero halos lahat nakalaban nila pinahirapan manalo.

I am not sure, but I don't think UP recruits. They rely on tryouts from students who want to study in the University & take into account the difficulty of getting in, unless you enroll in a sports program. FEU has the best recruitment program among UAAP schools (& I don't mean only basketball, but all sports). Talented provincial kids would rather enroll in FEU since they can adjust better, rather than go to ADMU or DLSU, whose students are too upper crust for their taste. They also feel that they might not be socially & academically accepted in those schools. In FEU, if they are recruited, wala nang entrance test, pasok na lang.

^Tama, FEU magaling nga kita mo kina Belo et al. UP can't rely on tryouts and referrals alone, it needs to be active in recruitment. FYI, varsity players do not need to pass the UPCAT; talent is all they need to get in through the VAAS. Maintaining grades is another story.

I am not sure of requirements in UP nowadays, but as I gathered, bawal na backdoor. Not sure if you enroll in a sports program in UP SPEAR. Sa UP, hiwalay talaga academics at sports. Bahala ka sa studies mo. Kundi mo kaya, pumunta ka na lang sa ibang eskwelahan ;)

They should replicate the days of Benjie Paras, Ronnie Magsanoc, Eric Altamirano. How did they manage?

[funkeemunkee]

^Believe me, there is always a backdoor, even for non-sports programs.

[111prez]

In top US universities (like Harvard, for example) there are no entrance examinations.

Heck, even Kobe Paras is already admitted into UCLA via recruitment, no entrance examinations whatsoever.

Entrance examinations are an archaic thing. It has no bearing whatsoever to how one will excel in the university or even in one's chosen field.

What does VAAS mean?
