So, that happened.

And then this happened.

Understandably though, UST fans are still pessimistic about the whole thing, and probably will be until the season starts and Ferrer gets announced as a Growling Tiger. That said, it would probably take something catastrophic for Ferrer to suddenly pull up stakes and migrate to another uni. If it does somehow happen though, that might spell the end for this iteration of the UST basketball program.
