Andy Gemao's 'next big break' awaits
The next month will be pivotal for Gemao as Nike Elite high school Veritas Academy National Prep in Malibu, California may be granted a two-year scholarship, should he pass the team's series of assessments.
With a two-year commitment to Letran also in place, Squires tactician Allen Ricardo remains fully supportive of Gemao's career and reassures the 17-year-old prodigy that he is welcome to return to Intramuros.
“Kung maganda magiging ang pag-uusap at talagang nakikita namin na talagang matututukan, why not? Kung madi-division I si Andy, at mas hihinog pa dun, hindi natin masabi, baka ito si Andy Gemao yung pinaka-pure Pinoy na can go to NBA,” said Ricardo in a previous interview.
