RHENZ Abando won't be the lone player from University of Santo Tomas heading to Letran.
SPIN.ph sources confirmed that Brent Paraiso and Ira Bataller are in discussions on a possible move to the other Dominican school following their departure from Espana.
Paraiso, a 6-foot-2 guard, averaged 7.2 points on 32-percent clip from threes, along with 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists last season.
He will have two more playing years left in his collegiate career if he joins the Knights or any other NCAA school.
Bataller, a 6-foot-4 banger, started in 14 of UST's 18 games last year and posted averages of 1.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists.
He can still play for three more years if he joins the Knights.
Like in Abando's case, nothing is final as of the moment as their representatives remain in talks with Letran officials, sources said.
Still, it will be a big boost for Letran if these movements materialize as the three were key cogs in the Growling Tigers' run to the finals back in UAAP Season 82.
