Baldwin optimistic on Ateneo contract talks, eyes new team identity

Ateneo Blue Eagles head coach Tab Baldwin described his contract extension talks with the university as 'positive' as he enters the final year of his current deal.

The Blue Eagles are looking to bounce back after a disappointing Season 87, where they finished last with a 4-10 record, missing the Final Four for the first time in 11 years.

Baldwin is determined to build a new identity for the team, stating "This team will build their own identity and they'll make their own mark and we'll have nothing to do with last year."

Ateneo has added new talent for the upcoming season, including one-and-done players Kymani Ladi, Dominic Escobar, and Jaden Lazo, as well as foreign student-athlete Divine Adili, and holdovers like Jared Bahay and Josh Lazaro.

Baldwin noted that the new recruits have shown promise during the preseason.
