LETRAN formally welcomed Rhenz Abando, Brent Paraiso and Ira Bataller to their camp.
Knights coach Bonnie Tan formalized the transfer of her three new recruits Tuesday in the presence of San Miguel’s athletic director and the school’s special assistant to the rector of athletic development, Alfrancis Chua.
