Adamson lost the brunt of its offense and defense when Eric Camson moved on the pros coupled by the recent losses of Ingrid Sewa (academic issues reportedly) and Jericho Cruz (PBA Draft). And we haven’t talked about Leo Austria’s decision to walk once more. Losing Cruz is probably the biggest blow next to Austria. Here’s a guy who put up almost 15-4-3 on a daily basis. Where will you get your offense? I think it is too much to expect an otherworldly performance all season long from Dawn Ochea, the heralded recruit from the south. Veteran holdovers Ryan Monteclaro, Jansen Rios, Alejandrino Iñigo and Don Trollano were role players at their best last season. Rios and Trollano, however, hold promise that they can eventually break out and lead this outfit longing for the father figure Austria gave them. This would be a very different team after all without his presence patrolling the sidelines and telling his players to slow down the pace for their half court sets. Kenneth Duremdes is in for a rough start. – Pio Garcia
