University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons and the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers have secured a prized recruit each in the United States.
According to a report by Rappler’s Naveen Ganglani, the Fighting Maroons has secured the commitment of Filipino-American winger Ashon Andrews.
The 6-foot-5 Andrews played for Roosevelt High School in Washington, DC. He was a high leaper, dangerous in transition with his slashing and finishing style and rebounds well for his size.
The Growling Tigers, on the other hand, has locked in on shooter Richi Calimag, the son of former PBA player Ricky Calimag and brother of Fighting Maroons’ RC Calimag.
The 6-foot-4 Richi has averages of 13.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals while playing for Diamond Bar High School in California.
Both Andrews and Calimag will be eligible for their respective schools for the upcoming UAAP Season 85, which will begin on October 1.
