Letran officials named former Letran Squires' mentor and alumnus Allen Ricardo as the new head coach of the Knights after previous head coach Rensy Bajar agreed to a buyout of his contract.[2]
Joining Ricardo on the side lines are former Letran Knight and current PBA player Rey Nambatac, and Mike Buendia, who had a stint with the Knights as an assistant coach in 2013.
The Knights lost five of its key players from previous season. Kurt Reyson graduated from college, while Kint Ariar and Kyle Tolentino decided to forego their remaining playing years. NCAA Season 99 Freshman of the Year Jay Garupil transferred to JRU, while Paolo Galvez transferred to FEU.
Transferees Jimboy Estrada and Edzel Galoy will finally play for the Knights after redshirting for a year. Estrada previously played in NAASCU for St. Clare College of Caloocan, while Galoy was a former Altas player who last played in Season 97 & 98.[3] Meanwhile, former De La Salle Green Archer point guard Nate Montecillo will also suit up for the Knights.[4]
Among the rookies who will suit up for the Knights are former Letran Squire Jovel Baliling, CJ Delfino, Fil-Am Jace Miller, and big man Christian Vergara.
