Going into his final season in the UAAP, Jeron Teng is excited with what the future holds for La Salle.

After his third Mythical Five selection, the 21-year-old said that they are excited with the hiring of champion coach Aldin Ayo as the Green Archers’ new coach.

“We heard about it but we haven’t got any orientation about him. We don’t know yet of his plans, but we’re excited,” said Teng.

Since Teng came on board, La Salle has only gone to the Finals once, back in his sophomore year in Season 76 where he out-dueled his brother Jeric and University of Santo Tomas in three games.

That’s why Teng is more motivated than ever to reclaim the crown in Season 79, with Ayo in tow and Ben Mbala finally making his debut for the Green Archers.

“I have to get it because next year is my last year,” he said.
