Like father like son.. mao ning problema sa mga tao dire usahay.. tagaan na gale og award dako na kaau og ulo.

He'll end up a broke failure like his father. Walay ethics, hambugero, tikasan

Mao ni.. saon taman ang bata matakdan man jud sa sakit sa amahan wahaha.. sayang kai mejo may talent man unta ning bataa. karon kung sundon ni niya ang pagkahambugero sa iyahang amahan padung ra pud ni siya sa has-been fails.

Wow some very strong and harsh words. Is there something personal between you and the Tallos? Do you know them enough to say hambugero jud kaayo hasta ang bata?

it pays to be part of the ateneo system: one on one focused training, complete athletic equipments and good basketball exposure... some notable ADMU alumni sometimes drop by to teach and play pick-up ball, the likes of LA tenorio, Enrico V, JC intal.. It's different in UAAP and NCAA, blue chip recruits from all over the philippines square off in the court, you can spell the difference when it comes to being a team player and a high scorer...

Right now, crowded jud ang point guards sa ateneo..Monfort,Ravena,Tiongson and another point guard from la salle...He can"t really show his talent in ADMU.

ngano can't man? if he works hard he'll earn his minutes... being an athlete requires patience and hardwork, dile tungod sa superstar sa inyong lugar then pag balhin nimo sa la.in lugar superstar treatment pud ka? dile oi... parehas gud steve nash when he was a rookie murag mga 10 mins per game lang kay daghan kaayo pg pud ang suns ato like kevin johnson, sam cassell, sunod jason kidd... pero iya gipa nindot iya stats ma.o to ni saka iya minutes

I don't think anyone here is putting Mark Tallo down. People just feel that what he did was in haste and he could have learned and improved a lot with ADMU.

I used to have that mentality that Tagalog people look down on Cebuanos... pero it's just an insecurity complex coming from the province. I myself came from Cebu and studied in ADMU.

I never felt that I was being looked down on. It's an unfair generalization sad.. it really depends on the personality of the person and has nothing to do with being from the province or the city.

Being from Cebu. a lot of my blockmates would even give praises about how they loved Cebu for the Resorts, Lechon etc. They would tell me how much fun they had when they visited Cebu.

Being an ateneo varsity doesnt guarantee PBA gyud... but having an Ateneo Education allows you better opportunities in life as well.

Being a star player doesn't guarantee you playing time either. You have to put in the work, patience, learn the system and prove your worth. Juami Chiongson, Gec Chia even Bacon Austria and Ken Barracoso were star players but they had to put in the work to get the playing time.

It's the same way sa PBA or NBA... diha gyud ma-ilhan ang character sa tao when he has to throw away his pride and let his play do the talking.

Uu brad sayang jud, but that's already their decision. Right now, let"s pray nlng na m ad2 xa sa tarong na team..Honestly, la pko kta sa duwa ani bataa in person but as a fellow cebuano, I will support this kid.

in all honesty, the best thing Mark Tallo could have done was to check first which other schools would be able to recruit him before leaving ADMU.

Him not having a school and its the start of classes already puts him in a difficult negotiating position and other schools will be reluctant to get him because of his impatience.

I wouldve advised that he seek other schools first and make sure he has a place to transfer to before leaving ADMU because his life is not just about basketball... At his age, he needs good education and Ateneo could have given him that if he was more patient with the system.

his decision gives me the impression that he doesn't really care about the education he's getting just as long as he gets to showcase his talent.


Sakto unta kay he gets a good education aside from a varsity spot with the team because if his basketball career doesn't work out, naa pa syay fall back (Ateneo Education)

[FAQ]

As a young college athlete and preparing for the pro , it's really important to get more training as much as possible . They need to know who they are in terms of what plays and system suits them most . Some players just go and play for the school because of its reputation and they tend not to analyze whether this school is the best place to develop and learn .

This is a common issue even in the NCAA . Players will just commit to Kentucky , Duke , or North Carolina because of the success the team achieved ... but down the road , they realized the system is not for them . Then you will hear they quit , and/or transferred to multiple schools because of their bad decision .

THEY ARE OVERSOLD ON THE "EXPOSURE" .

As for Tallo , maybe he made a good decision , and maybe not . According to his mom's post , he never had a good playing time ... in the pre-season . That should be an indication that Norman Black is either uninterested on Tallo or maybe he already realized Tallo doesn't fit into his system .

Basketball-wise , it's better to quit . Academic-wise , if you already have a guaranteed 4-year scholarship at ADMU , not a good decision . But from the mother's post here , she's hinting that her son is preparing for a basketball career .

I don't watch UAAP , but just wanna ask , how good really is Tallo compared to other ADMU players ? What is his work-ethics during practice ?

As of now, Kiefer, Ateneo's phenom is better than tallo, but not that far in my opinion. This is becuase of Kiefer's experience in big leagues (UAAP) while tallo shines only here in Cebu (CESAFI). In terms of talent and court vision, maybe they are equal or if not, but not that not huge. Tallo really needs time to polish his talent.
