Filipino Ballers in the US...News and Updates

Good job being open about it with your son. And good luck to whatever you decide on eventually. (You gain my respect for not avoiding the question. Props.)

First time i have played with this kid and you have to see him play when he comes home. I play constantly and so does my teammates in Filipino leagues. Played with the likes of LA in high school and did not do too bad against him but this kid is in a whole different level.

lol somebody from this forum(forgot who) tweeted chot reyes about him. Chot reyes didnt reply.
Maybe he knows but is not interested with somebody he doesnt really know. He is in a win-now mode, maybe he'll stick with what he knows masterfully.
Or maybe he doesnt want the drama in wuhan(lassiter and lutz were questioned) to happen again.
We might get the answer when fiba asia allows jeremy lin. hehe
Pringle is beyond reach unlike banchero who is with smc.

Holt made WCC honroable mention
Most parents would be proud if their son resembled Stephen Holt, the starting PG for the St. Mary’s Gaels. The former Jesuit star has lived up to his billing as one the best student-athletes in the WCC conference. “The great thing is, I’m very focused on basketball. I’m either in the gym or studying, and this campus is good for that.” Says Holt, a diligent worker in all arena’s. Holt shocked onlookers by making WCC’s honorable mention team after averaging 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. What will next year produce? Holt, a defensive specialist, arguably the best on-ball defender in the country besides Ohio St’s Aaron Craft has the work ethic to take his talents to the league. A knee injury in the middle of the season, was the only thing that could hold back Holt from attaining further success. The classroom comes first, but Holt wants to make the Gaels a commodity “Not everyone knows our story. We feel like we have something to prove every time out,” Holt explained before the tourney. His jumper wet, defense stickier then fruit roll-up, and leadership unquestioned Holt will make a huge splash next year.

considering his achievement as an mvp in a middle school not to mention his fundamental skills learned earlier at a competitive environment. i thinl he's got long ways to go. og by the way, he's the son of my first degree cousin.

aha. see...the padawans are coming out one by one. Let me guess, he can play 1-4 and is eyeing the U18 2014 FIBA asia to come home. How many are there that you know about roughly being looked at with the same anatomical measurements.

Tulsa guard
Clarkson asks for
release to transfer


Posted 04/17/2012 10:12:01 PM |


TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Tulsa Athletic Director
Ross Parmley says sophomore guard
Jordan Clarkson has asked for a release
from his scholarship to transfer from the
Golden Hurricane program.


Parmley said in a news release Tuesday that
he has granted Clarkson permission to
contact a limited number of schools.

Clarkson was named as a 2011-2012
preseason second-team all-Conference USA
selection by the league's coaches. He
averaged 16.5 points per game and led the
Golden Hurricane to a third-place finish in
the conference this past season.

Clarkson was chosen for a spot on the All-
Conference USA First-Team, and became
Tulsa's youngest first-team all-conference
selection since Shea Seals in 1994-95.

Tulsa transfer Jordan Clarkson’s father: ‘The system has failed us.


Like jilted lovers, persistent telemarketers and overeager reality TV contestants, college basketball coaches and administrators rarely accept rejection gracefully.

Tulsa star Jordan Clarkson learned that firsthand this week when he informed the Golden Hurricane of his intent to transfer and submitted a list of nine schools he wanted to have permission to contact.

Even though the sophomore guard's father insists those nine are neither members of Conference USA nor future opponents for Tulsa, athletic director Ross Parmley only granted three of the schools permission to contact Clarkson. That leaves Clarkson with the option of transferring to Vanderbilt, Colorado or TCU if those schools have interest and a scholarship for him, or paying his own way at a school of his choice.

"I do believe it's an abuse of power," Mike Clarkson said. "Given what my son has done at the University of Tulsa and how he has conducted himself, what I asked for is what is the reasoning behind it. That is something we've actually requested and haven't gotten any answer on."

Tulsa spokesman Donald Komkalski declined to make Parmley available for an interview or to provide an explanation for the school's decision to restrict Clarkson's options. Speculation at Tulsa has been that Clarkson wanted to transfer to Texas or another power-conference program in his home state, but his father is adamant that the family still has not spoken to any coaches and no tampering has taken place.

In a year in which college basketball is on pace to produce a record number of transfers, similar disputes to the one between Clarkson and Tulsa are flaring up across the nation.

Wisconsin has endured a spate of negative publicity this week after preventing promising freshman forward Jarrod Uthoff from reaching out to Marquette, Iowa State and every school in the Big Ten and ACC. South Carolina has also made headlines for not releasing Damontre Harris to NC State because of tampering allegations. And Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli became talk show fodder last winter for refusing to sign the paperwork needed to allow transfer Todd O'Brien to play at Alabama-Birmingham.

"Nothing pisses me off in college basketball more than a coach w/ an over inflated ego," Missouri senior Kim English tweeted Wednesday. "Who do Bo Ryan and Phil Marteli think they are? The university can't 'Block' you from accepting another job. So why is it ok for a coach to do this to an athlete? Another flawed NCAA rule."

The thought of leaving Tulsa first became a possibility for Clarkson as a freshman when his father said he experienced homesickness and uncertainty as many out-of-state kids often do. The San Antonio native averaged a team-high 16.5 points per game as a sophomore after deciding to stick it out at Tulsa, but he once again began wavering about his future at the end of the season.

With Memphis leaving Conference USA and the league looking unlikely to get more than one NCAA bid in the future, Clarkson wanted to explore the possibility of going somewhere that he could play deep into March. Last month's firing of Tulsa coach Doug Wojcik and the previous departures of athletic director Bubba Cunningham and assistant coach David Cason also played a role in Clarkson's desire to leave.

On March 12, the day after Wojcik's firing and a month before the hiring of new coach Danny Manning, Clarkson's father released a statement to the Tulsa World indicating the family planned to "explore all available options." Then Parmley announced Tuesday that Clarkson had asked for a release to transfer and would receive permission to contact a limited number of schools.

"When Jordan addressed coach Manning and told him what his reasoning was, of course they expressed disappointment," Mike Clarkson said. "Coach Manning is a first-year head coach and losing your best player is going to have an impact on the program. However, I think what they're doing right now is going to have a greater impact on the program. This is going to leave a mark, an indelible mark."

The one silver lining to this for Mike Clarkson is he has the financial means to make sure nobody can prevent his son from enrolling at any school on his list. If Jordan decides the best fit for him is a school Parmley won't release him to, the elder Clarkson will pay for his son to enroll there.

Regardless, the Clarksons don't believe it's fair for coaches to put athletes seeking a transfer in this position.

"I think in this case the system has failed us," Mike Clarkson said. "Hopefully things that are happening to these athletes now will promote discussion. And maybe that in turn will dictate change."

Can I ask , is it really in Fiba by laws that when you reach 16 years old, that's the only age you can apply for dual citizenship and be allowed to play for a certain country? Then does that mean there is no chance anymore for our team to get the services of Holt, Rosser and Clarkson?

[tito thoots]

Enjoy watching the clips. Clearance was given by queensland basketball to air it. So I guess have fun.
Playing in the U18 state championships,(he has 2 more years at the same competition level). can't wait till he's 16. Even moreso when he's turned 17. By that time, he's ready for the FIBA Asia u18. Hang onto your seats because were going to the world's...
It's funny because you guys seem to have seen him grow up right before your eyes up to now. Has it been that long?

[kerouac82]

Your boy looks mighty impressive, tito thoots. Good height for a point guard, can draw the contact and finish in traffic, good upper-body strength despite his frame, can drive and dish and pop up for a jumper. Didn't see much outside shooting, but he's cold-blooded in the clutch. Can't wait to see him grow up more and be a force in Asia.

[toikins]

Titothoots, dont forget to claim his filipino passport before 16.
We need him to blast those overrated chinese guys.

whew. Still some more years before we get those tall point guards.
there were two tall point guards in the previous pages(actually posted last year.)
Then jozef and 6'2 kobe paras(who is making girls go wild).
How old is kobe paras btw? 13?
