The Tams lost the Beast of the Far East, Aldrech Ramos, to graduation. Who will replace the rock upon which the Tams stand on? RR Garcia will always be there, the quiet gunslinger who needs to demand the ball more. But who among Carl Cruz, Mark Bringas and Arvie Bringas are ready to take on that mantle? Those are quite big shoes to fill owing to the fact that Ramos was an absolute beast down low this side of Greg Slaughter. Russel Escoto is a sure bet to be the next one, but he still needs more development drills. But back to Garcia. This guy has all the talent in the world to dominate games and impose his will on opponents. Why he defers to Terrence Romeo, the worst point guard ever to wear a FEU jersey, still boggles every hoop fan’s mind? RR needs to be assertive this time around. This is his team, not Romeo’s. And to Romeo, he’s the equivalent of Jett Vidal in the NCAA. Chucks shots without abandon and just completely makes boneheaded decisions with the basketball. The fortunes of the Tams rely on this guy to do good.
