MANILA, Philippines—Adamson beefed up its backcourt after securing the commitments of two more homegrown guards en route to UAAP Season 86.
Peter Rosillo and Mat Edding, both products of the Baby Falcons basketball program, have committed to play for coach Nash Racela, a move that the tactician deemed as a big development for the program’s continuity.
“This is big for the continuity of our program. We are aware of how other programs do their recruitment and we want to do it another way. That’s why we put so much importance in our high school program in the hope that they will transition smoothly to our senior’s team,” told Racela.
Both playmakers were vital in Baby Falcons’ finals run in Season 85.
Rosillo averaged 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 steals in just 25 minutes while Edding posted norms of 10.9 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 steals in 25 minutes as well.
“We’re excited to see what Peter and Mat will do at the college level and we have faith that they will be better with the Soaring Falcons,” said Racela.
Both cagers are eligible to play right away for the Soaring Falcons next year and will have five full playing years.
