THE point guard position will be as lush and lively as ever for the University of the Philippines with the addition of another talented transferee in Rain Maga.
The 6-foot playmaker suited up for University of the East in UAAP Season 87 and delivered immediate impact with norms of 8.1 points, including 40-percent from threes, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 22 minutes of action.
Now with the Fighting Maroons, he will link up once more with former teammate Rey Remogat, as State U continues to stock up the point guard position that lost Finals MVP JD Cagulangan.

Remogat had already undergone one-year residency and will be eligible come Season 88, where Maga will, in turn, serve his redshirt year. After, he will be available for a total of two go-rounds.
While UP looks forward to his addition, its sights are still set on defending its title with Remogat, Harold Alarcon, Gerry Abadiano, and Jacob Bayla at the forefront.
