Rey Remogat leaves UE and will be a UP Fighting Maroon by UAAP Season 88.
One door closes, another one opens.
Rey Remogat is on the move, transferring out of the University of the East and into the University of the Philippines.
The spitfire point guard, who was a Mythical team member for the Red Warriors in UAAP Season 86, will serve residency and will suit up for the Fighting Maroons in Season 88 and Season 89.
"I want to express my sincere thanks to UE for providing me with the opportunity to be where I am today. I will forever be indebted to all of you for the opportunity you gave in shaping my present and future," Remogat said, per a UP release.
"But now it's time for me to make a decision for what my family needs and where I can grow as an athlete. This decision is not easy, but it is a necessary step in my journey. After careful consideration with my family and loved ones, I believe the next step of my career is playing for the UP Fighting Maroons in Season 88-89,” he added.
While the Red Warriors missed the Final Four in Season 86, Remogat lit up the court, averaging 16.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and a league-leading 7.9 assists.
“We love the current guards that we have, siyempre, pero at the same time, we're excited to have a player like Noy. Magiging malaking bagay siya para sa future natin,” said coach Goldwin Monteverde.
Remogat’s transfer to UP comes at the heels of high school prospect Jared Bahay changing his collegiate commitment
from the Fighting Maroons to the Ateneo Blue Eagles.
Rey now looks primed to take over for UP, with longtime floor general JD Cagulangan set to play his final year in Season 87.
