MANILA, Philippines -- NCAA Season 91 Rookie-MVP Allwell Oraeme reiterated his commitment with the Mapua Cardinals while vehemently denying there are offers from other schools.
Oraeme went to Twitter to clear the issue after Mapua head coach Atoy Co revealed on Thursday night that there are two high-profile UAAP teams, who are trying to pirate the Nigerian player.
I love mapua .. nobody talking to me #vivamapua

Co withheld the name of the schools trying to pry Oraeme away from Mapua pending his one-on-one meeting with his prized recruit.
Oraeme has been one of the big reasons why host Mapua advanced to the Final Four for the first time under Co's tenure as head coach.
The 6-foot-9 import averaged 16.3 points, league-best 20.3 rebounds and 2.9 blocks on his way to become the third Rookie-MVP in the NCAA after Gabby Espinas and Sam Ekwe.
