From 1988 to 2002, the San Sebastian Golden Stags won eight NCAA titles.
It started from the time of Bong Alvarez, Allan Garrido, and Eugene Quilban and it ended with the core of Christian Coronel, Pep Moore, Red Vicente, and Leo Najorda. Sandwiched between the bookends are the team's '90s five-peat, bannered by Romel Adducul, Rodney Santos (during the tail end of his NCAA career), Brixter Encarnacion, Banjo Calpito, Jasper Ocampo, Rommel Daep, and Buboy Tanigue. That team was so loaded that future PBA players like Homer Se, Mark Macapagal, and Topex Robinson were more known as backups to the team's starting core.
I know San Sebastian had a championship in 2009 and had a dominating stretch with Jimbo Aquino, Jason Ballesteros, and the triumvirate of Calvin Abueva, Ian Sangalang, and Ronald Pascual (otherwise known as The Pinatubo Trio), but the turn of the century was dominated by either the San Beda Red Lions or the Letran Knights.
With that said, it's hard to dismiss a top San Sebastian player and during their post-championship years, a Baste alpha will always find his way in the first or the second round of the PBA Draft.
This is The Draft Score.
