Celis and Asoro’s dreams came true when they formally donned the blue and white jersey of the reigning UAAP men’s basketball champions after they were officially welcomed by no less than the team’s head coach and basketball program head Tab Baldwin. “Gusto ko talaga Ateneo, hindi lang basketball, but also sa life, and I want to graduate as a blue-blooded Atenean,” said the 6-foot-3 combo player.
Celis and Asoro were almost identical in their average points per game during the NBTC with 17 points. They towed the team to the semifinals along with Bahay, who already committed to the UP Fighting Maroons basketball team earlier this month. “It’s a great opportunity for me to play for Ateneo. We’re really excited to practice and play. Dream school ko po talaga ang Ateneo, gusto ko po talaga makalaro sa Ateneo. Gusto ko rin maka graduate sa Ateneo. Alam ko na hindi lang basketball yung makakatulong sa akin, pati academics din,” said Asoro, who is the Magis Eagles’ elite combo guard.For Baldwin, he has many reasons why he recruited Asoro and Celis to the Blue Eagles. He said both have the flexibility to become two-way players.
