Jay Pangalangan has been cut by another collegiate team.
The 6-foot-9 center out of Pampanga is not part of Colegio de San Juan de Letran’s final roster for the NCAA Season 97 Seniors Basketball tournament which fires off this Saturday at La Salle Green Hills.
Sources have told Tiebreaker Times that the now 24-year-old Pangalangan is no longer part of Letran as well and is dealing with injuries.
This is Pangalanan’s third school after spending two years in De La Salle University and another two years in College of Saint Benilde. He never suited up for either the UAAP or the NCAA.
Also out of Letran’s lineup is former University of Santo Tomas big man Ira Bataller.
The same source has told Tiebreaker Times that the 6-foot-4 bruiser was not able to enroll this semester. He will be ready for Season 98 later this year.
Surprisingly in the Knights’ lineup is Christian Fajarito.
Fajarito, 25, was not part of Letran’s championship team back in Season 95 due to family reasons. This will be his final year.
The rest of Letran’s lineup are Rhenz Abando, Fran Yu, Jeo Ambohot, Kint Ariar, King Caralipio, Neil Guarino, Pao Javillonar, Jimly Lantaya, Allen Mina, Tommy Olivario, Brent Paraiso, Kurt Reyson, Mark Sangalang, and Kyle Tolentino.
The Knights open their campaign against College of Saint Benilde at 3:30PM.
