The Generals had a rather disappointing season last year. They also lost Claude Cubo to graduation, their most consistent big man, and Lowell Yaya, a bruiser. But with their exits comes foreign student-athlete Noubi Happi who is sure to provide more than his share of scoring, rebounds and paint defense. Not to mention, doesn’t he have the happiest name of all? That should make EAC coach Gerry Esplana more than Happi. Franz Chiong, Russell Yaya and Igee King are back to make EAC a bit more competitive compared to last year. This will be a good season if the Generals are able to hover around the fifth to sixth spots and continue with their development.
