Gilas Youth veteran and La Salle Green Hills star Santi Romero is not going anywhere as he has committed to play for the La Salle Archers in the UAAP.
Only 18, the speedy 6-foot-3 Romero is best known for his defensive prowess after finishing No. 2 in steals department in the NCAA.
During the last season, Romero made a record by stealing six times in a game during the team’s stunning run to the Finals.
He’s not only good at defending but he’s also armed with a feathery touch from afar – reason that made him one of the most-sought rookies these days.
On a given day, Romero can shoot the lights out having trained long and hard in the US.
Two other schools have reportedly tried to lure Romero to their folds but failed.
Romero firmly believes he has a great future under La Salle coach Topex Robinson.
With his good looks and gung-ho style of defense, Romero is likely to become an instant star in the league.
