IT did not take long for San Beda to find its replacement for Janti Miller.
Hours after Miller announced his departure from San Beda, the Red Lions rolled out the red carpet for another NCAA Mythical Team memeber and reigning defensive player of the year in Jhuniel dela Rama, formerly of the San Sebastian Stags.
San Beda team manager Jude Roque confirmed Dela Rama's arrival toward the Red Lions camp. He'll be eligible for the NCAA Season 103.

Dela Rama posted averages of 13.8 points, 11 rebounds and 1.6 steals in the NCAA Season 101 for the embattled Stags side under former coach Rob Labagala.
The 6'3 forward out of Ormoc once hauled down 23 rebounds in a single-game in their win versus Lyceum, while also having several clutch moments in the season - hitting the game-winner against Letran while dropping the killer baskets in another upset win over Perpetual.
