As Adamson Soaring Falcons Coach Franz Pumaren said in an interview, "UAAP recruitment is getting out of hand."

While teams recruiting players either from other teams or even from other leagues in the country has been a common practice in basketball in hopes of assembling the best line-up for a team to win a championship, many people still have no idea what happens behind the scenes in the recruitment process. Fortunately, this Saturday's episode of "Bull By the Horn" by Benny Benitez is set to discuss just that. Recruitment in collegiate basketball whether it's the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), or even the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (CESAFI). 

For this Saturday's seventh episode, Benny Benitez will be having another loaded line-up of guests to help basketball fans what is indeed happening in the recruitment process. Set to grace the podcast for the very first time is Manong Derek Pumaren who is also set to return at the helm for the De La Salle Green Archers come Season 83 of the UAAP. Also set to share his thought about the recruitment process for college basketball players is a high-respected sportswriter in Rick Olivarez while completing the cast of guests for the week is Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas (SBP) Regional Director for Region Six, Rico Navarro. 

One lucky viewer will also win a gift pack from Kick-Start Coffee if his/her question gets picked as the "Question of the Day" for the episode so viewers are encouraged to come up with the best questions they can think of.

There you have it. Three basketball-minded guests set to discuss an important aspect of collegiate hoops in the country. All of that this coming Saturday, August 15, 2020, starting at 8 p.m. on the Facebook page of pinoyliga.com
