CLINT Escamis' homecoming to Mapua is finally official.
Clint Escamis back in Mapua
The 5-foot-11 guard was seen on the bench of the Cardinals for their debut in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup on Saturday, but was not deployed in their 83-59 defeat to University of the Philippines.
He is included in the team's 20-man roster although there's no clarity if he will play.
Escamis still has to undergo a one-year residency and will only be cleared to play for Mapua come NCAA Season 98 next year.
Asked about the situation, head coach Randy Alcantara politely declined from issuing a statement on the matter.
Escamis, a former NCAA Juniors Mythical Team member with the Red Robins, spent his rookie season with University of the East as he posted 7.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and a league-best 2.1 steals.
His efforts, however, were for moot as the Red Warriors bombed out of the UAAP Season 84 and went winless in all 14 games.
