Inside the UP 'exodus'

JUST a few weeks ago, the University of the Philippines (UP) was the envy of all college basketball teams because of their recruiting prowess. They just recruited Rey Remogat, a legitimate Mythical Five awardee in UAAP Season 86.

This was the cherry on top of the sundae, which was UP's continuous haul from last season. But if you keep recruiting, there is bound to be a logjam. There is a finite number of slots in a basketball team, even in the UAAP, where there seems to be no semblance of regulation. An even more limited resource: playing time.
