After leaving the University of the Philippines , Carl Tamayo will be joining a powerhouse squad in Japan’s B.League.
The club confirmed Tamayo’s signing on Wednesday, a day after the 21-year-old big man bid goodbye to the Fighting Maroons. “He can be expected to play an active role immediately, and his youthful and energetic play has attracted a lot of attention not only from Japan, but also for the Filipino people,” they added.
Tamayo was the UAAP Rookie of the Year in Season 84, and a part of the Mythical Team in Season 85. He helped the Fighting Maroons win the championship as a freshman, where they ended a 36-year title drought.
