THE GROWLING Tigers will parade a veteran line-up in their bid to recapture the UAAP basketball crown. An NCAA recruit and a rookie point guard might provide the boost the squad badly needs.
Roberto Hainga
Age: 22
Height: 6’7”
Position: Center
This 6’7” former University of Perpetual Help center cannot only grab rebounds but also intimidate foes attacking the basket. An over-all contributor to his former team, Hainga is expected to man the middle with Karim Abdul and Paulo Pe.
“UAAP is a more intensified collegiate league than NCAA. It has stronger teams, and greater performance is expected of you by everyone—especially the crowd,” he said.
Janrey Garrido
Age: 18
Height: 5’6”
Position: Point Guard
The 2007 Coca-Cola League Most Valuable Player and Tiong Lian Best Point Guard will have to take his play-making to the next level as he is expected to take over while Jeric Fortuna is out.
Though college basketball is a whole new world for him, Garrido is confident he will deliver with his speed and outside shooting.
“It’s all new to me. But I should just handle the ball carefully and play my game because it is necessary for the team,” he said. with reports from ALEXIS U. CERADO
