Speeding Bullets:

- The FEU-FERN Baby Tamaraws seem to be looking good, despite reportedly no longer enjoying the services of their ace from last year, Jerie Pingoy. Pingoy has reportedly moved elsewhere, so that he won’t be “tied down” by virtue of finishing HS in FEU. It’s been a “whispered fact” that players who graduate from the FEU juniors program are “tied” to the seniors team. Think of it as kind of a “Soc Rivera” effect. Still remember him? FEU-FERN circa 2006, kids.

- The Red Cubs are looking oh so sharp this early, and they will probably continue to build up some more as the NCAA season nears. Look for them to continue their dominance of the juniors game, especially now that the aces of LSGH (Thomas Torres) and Letran (McJour Luib) have moved on.

- The Xavier Stallions did well in their first real test after the graduation of Jeron Teng. This time, they’ll look to RP Team stalwart Kyles Lao to lead them, along with up-and-comer Jarrell Lim and big man Isaac Go.

- For a more competitive look at Metro Manila’s top HS talent, you guys can also check out the Freego FCBL games at the Philippine Buddhacare Academy in QC. They have the best of the UAAP, NCAA, and Tiong Lian leagues butting heads, especially last year’s surprise MMTLBA titlists, the Chiang Kai Shek Blue Dragons, who are led by sleeper top recruit John Kevin Baytan.

- The NU Bulldogs look like the sharpest team across the spectrum right now. Ray Parks has been awesome, but it’s not just a one-man show in Eric Altamirano’s crew. Emmanuel Mbe and Kyle Neypes scored well in their first game, while Denice (not Dennis) Villamor and Gelo Alolino helped out here against the Tams. Are they a Final Four lock this season? Still too early, but they look damn scary.

- The UE Red Warriors have some new faces, but the results are the same – mediocrity. They did give the Knights a bit of a fight in the first half, but Kevin Alas showed them up in the second. Frankly, I don’t see anything drastically different from the Warriors so far.

dent in the NCAA Juniors wars.

the flailing Baby Falcons.

Can the Baby Falcons bounce back after
this opening defeat against Beda?

RR Garcia shot poorly from the field and ended up
with a measly 8 points to his name.

Terrence Romeo will have to take on a bigger role
in UAAP Season 75 if FEU wants a return trip to the Finals.
