Fil-Am girl may make it to WNBA
http://www.tribune.net.ph/sports/20090804spo3.html
But here's the sad part. Since SBP is concentrating so much on Men's hoops, USA Basketball beat us to the punch. She just represented Team USA in the FIBA U19 World Championships where her team got the gold.
Very similar to the case of Christian Standhardinger who represented Germany's youth squad as well.
what about this option for both?

It's all up to SBP to court these two great finds. But at the end of the day, it will still be the player's decision and interest on whether they are willing (more than the money involved of course) to play for their parent's motherland. There has been well-known precedents for similar switches as we are aware of.
Wow, very good piece of research. So FIBA now allows changing of "sports citizenship" as long as the mother federation does not object.Originally Posted by logre23
Although I doubt USA Basketball is going to release Chay Chegog, it's still worth trying.
It might be easier to ask the German federation to release Christian Standhardinger. I believe this FIBA ruling has already been used by Jordan in requesting the release of their 7 foot center Jamaal Almaitah for the 2009 FIBA Asia. Almaitah was disqualified in the 2007 FIBA Asia after he was discovered to have played previously for the German U19 NT.
Btw, this should be the correct link to my 1st post. My bad.

May I also alert anybody from SBP who may be viewing this post. Just read from this article that Chay Chegog has two brothers: Richard (25) and Anthony (13). If the sister is 6'5" then those brothers may be much taller. But the question is: do they play hoops?

Wow, another great find
The Filipino lineage in Chay Chegog is very evident in her looks.
I think this is him.

Do they have the same mother? I mean what if it they were only her stepbrother? (brother from a diferent mother) I guess I'm just being silly.. great find though..
Mad skills
Guyz>>>>>>>>> if this brothers is really indeed of the same mother. The older bro could be at least 6'7-6'8. WOW!!!! Another prospect for the Pros and the younger Anthony could be listed in the RP U16 team. Why not?! pls. confirm anyone pls.......
looks like the older brother is around 6'6" but is there any confirmation sir if they play hoops ?
What? Maybe the support of our country is not enough. Calling authorities to act on this.
Fil-Am girl may make it to WNBA
What there's a Fil-Am basketball women who made it on WNBA. That's a good news and i hope we have also a player on NBA also.
As of my latest check, she will play her junior season for North Carolina this coming November. So her WNBA career is about two years away still.
Committed to play football at Virginia Tech today. So you will have some help for Tebow on your football team.
She made it to WNBA.

Is she eligible to play for Philippines? Pretty good height, would probably dominate at least in Asia.
aim low, score high
Not getting any playing time in the WNBA (8 minutes all season!) but signed with a Euroleague club for next year:
