Emman Tagle went from one school to another, hoping to land a roster in any school that would allow him to showcase his talents in the big league — only San Beda University gave him that opportunity.
Now, he's out to repay that trust big time as he makes the most of his final playing year in the NCAA .
"Galing ako sa LPU Batangas, naglaro na ako sa UCBL. Parang ‘di naman nila ako kinuha no’n so nag-tryout ako sa San Beda and nagustuhan naman ni Coach Boyet ‘yung ginawa ko so nabigyan ako ng scholarship," Tagle told GMA News Online. Before landing a spot with the Mendiola crew in 2019, Tagle first tried his luck in UST then in San Beda's rival Colegio de San Juan de Letran, where he would train for one month under then head coach Jeff Napa. Both schools did not give him the spot.
He was not lined up in Season 95 where San Beda still had the likes of Evan Nelle, James Kwekuteye, and Calvin Oftana. In Season 97, he was on the reserve list alongside Jacob Cortez, but it was only the latter that was given the playing time.
