Sandy Arespacochaga, Kai Sotto will return to the Philippines to joine the squad in preparing for the World Cup this June.

Alongside the team, Aj Edu – Filipino-Nigerian basketball player – will also play for the Cup. As well as the Filipino-Italian Dalph Panopio.

Aj Edu recently played for the NCAA Division 1 in the University of Toledo.

Kai Sotto is currently at the United States continuing his training for his upcoming game in Europe. However, a former Ateneo Blue Eaglet said that he’s ready to play for the 19-under category in the World Cup team that qualified after winning 4th place during the Championship in the 2018 FIBA Asia under 18 category.

AJ Edu and Dalph Panopio were also part of the Batang Gilas team who played during the 2018 FIBA Asia under 18 catergory.
