CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebuano ace combo guard Nicael Cabañero returned to the University of San Carlos-Basic Education-North Campus after four years of campaigning in Manila in the
The 19-year-old Cabañero of Lapu-Lapu City has come a very long way nine years after he played with USC as an elementary cager.
“I’m very proud that I came from this school. Never nako gihuna-huna nga layo na kaayo ko og naabtan ako na lang ni kalimtan. I think I still have so much improvement to do, but I’m so proud that this school recognized all of my achievements,” said“Kung dili tungod sa San Carlos, I think dili nako maabot kung asa ko karon. Wala jud ko alam sa background sa ilang basketball, pero I found out champion diay sa elementary sa SBP.
With no certainty for its future, Cabañero along with team captain Paul Matthew Manalang and several other rookies and sophomores rebuilt the Growling Tigers’ roster in the UAAP. If negotiations push through, Cabañero could become the youngest import of the two international leagues which is another feather to his cap.
For his part, Largo said that he immediately recruited and didn’t let Cabañero go the first time he saw the latter play.
