Team Preview
Despite missing the Final Four bus last year, Coach Louie and his boys are optimistic that they can regain lost glory in Season 87. With the exit of some role players, the emergence of what could be the future of Letran Basketball arose. Mark Cruz and Tyron Cudal, fresh from their High School stint with the Squires will spearhead the fresh legs that will add firepower to the Knights' agenda. Kevin Racal, a transferee who has served his residency and has showcased in the preseason what he can contribute to the team will be one of the notable names that would consistently come up when the going gets tough. With an intact line up from last season, and with the leadership and maturity of team captain Jam Cortes, skipper Kevin Alas, Jun Alas and Sophomore Jonathan Belorio, Letran has a more decent chance of snagging a seat in the Final Four this year. The younger Alas, on his third year, is expected to show up as a man who evolved from being a boy when it comes to being the court general. Cortes and Dysam, who had the chance to gain more experience in an amateur league during the summer, are expected to play two notches higher. Belorio, Espiritu and newcomer Andre Mendoza are expected to excel as well given the drive from their pre-season exposure. As the season unfolds, Coach Louie Alas is positive that as the father of his team, he has corrected all the flaws from the post-season up until the pre-season. And knowing Coach Alas, he can create something from nothing when it comes to dealing with the Knights.
