MANILA – The Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) Generals of the NCAA has tapped another Ilonggo talent, forward Ronrei Tolentino from the Far Eastern University (FEU) Tamaraws of the UAAP.
Generals head coach Oliver Bunyi confirmed to Panay News on Tuesday the switch of allegiance of the 6-foot-3 cager, who will need to serve a one-year residency before he can suit up EAC’s colors.
“He has been practicing with us since last month and I am converting him to the three position,” Bunyi said. “He is not yet playing for us this year but will be good to go come NCAA Season 97.”
Tolentino was a former standout of the Iloilo National High School and has represented Western Visayas in the 2017 Palarong Pambansa before being recruited by the Far Eastern University Baby Tamaraws.
“I am glad to be given the opportunity dito sa EAC and I am excited to play for them. I am already in the process of familiarizing myself here sa coaches and teammates. I am excited to do my part for this team sa NCAA,” Tolentino said.
He will be the second Ilonggo player to move to EAC, following the recent commitment of Santa Clarita International School Primes guard Ralph Bajon, who is set to suit up for EAC in NCAA Season 96 later this year./PN
