Now the whole NCAA knows: the San Beda Red Lions' bite is back to its old and lethal form.
Published August 31, 2024 3:58pmKey losses: Jacob Cortez, Peter Alfaro, Damie Cuntapay, Clifford JopiaAdditions: JC Bonzalida, Penny Estacio, Bryan Sajonia, RC Calimag, Richi CalimagThere was this narrative that San Beda University may have lost its glory in NCAA men's basketball as the Red Lions dropped the title in 2019 and missed the finals for the next two seasons after winning eight of the last nine titles prior.
First up on the list are transferees Penny Estacio and Bryan Sajonia who sat out last year for residency after jumping ship from De La Salle University and Far Eastern University, respectively. With the departure of Cortez, these guards are exactly what San Beda needs to fill the gap, boosting the backcourt led by other holdovers in Emman Tagle, Joshua Tagala, and AJ Royo.
However, the biggest recruit San Beda may have had during the offseason was JC Bonzalida. The 19-year-old cager was instrumental in Adamson University's high school title run in UAAP that ended a 31-year wait of the school and he now brings his act to San Beda.
