The article discusses the recruitment of VeeJay Pre by the University of the Philippines (UP) after his departure from Far Eastern University (FEU). Dolreich 'Bo' Perasol, the UP Office for Athletics and Sports Development program director, emphasized that UP did not engage in any recruitment efforts until Pre had officially left FEU. The piece highlights Perasol's integrity and UP's strategic acquisition of Pre, who is seen as a valuable addition to the team following the departure of key players.

Pre's recruitment is seen as strategic for UP, especially following the departure of key players like Francis Lopez and Aldous Torculas.
Pre is compared to Kevin Quiambao, indicating high expectations for his performance.
La Salle's lack of interest in Pre during his recruitment window is noted, possibly due to their focus on new recruit Lebron Jhames Daep.
