From New Zealand, Jireh Tumaneng is expected to play for Adamson's high school team before he suits up for the Soaring Falcons in the UAAP.
MANILA, Philippines – The Adamson Soaring Falcons made their presence known in the UAAP basketball recruitment arms race by securing the commitment of young 6-foot-8 prospect Jireh Tumaneng.Only 16 years old, Tumaneng will finish his current season with West Lake Boys High School in New Zealand, play for Adamson’s championship-contending high school program from 2024 to 2025, then make his Soaring Falcons debut in UAAP Season 88.
He was one of the standouts who performed well during the recently concluded NBTC tournament, highlighted by a 15-point, 18-rebound performance for Pinoy Mavs NZ. Hoque, a former assistant coach for the UP Fighting Maroons, said Letran, Lyceum, San Beda, UP, La Salle Green Hills, and Ateneo were also interested in recruiting Tumaneng, but he ultimately decided on Adamson because of his hometown connection with assistant coach Rommel Adducul, who hails from Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
He also mentioned that the new Falcon will have to work on getting used to the Philippine style of play and add muscle to his frame.
