NASA proseso na ang paglipat ni dating Gilas Pilipinas Youth stalwart Bismarck Lina sa University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons, ayon kay coach Bo Perasol.

“[Bismarck Lina] is already processing his transfer from UST to UP. He’s just working on some papers and documents to complete his transfer,” pahayag ni Perasol.

Ngunit, ayon kay Perasol sa UAAP Season 84 pa makapaglalaro ang Season 81 Junior Mythical Team member. “Bismarck will also be applying for the varsity program for

[UAAP] Season 84. He won’t be eligible for Season 83 since he has to be enrolled for at least two semesters in UP, but the first semester has already started so he has to wait until Season 84,” aniya. Kabilang ang 6-foot-4 junior standout sa umalis sa bakuran ng University of Santo Tomas matapos pumutok ang ilegal na ‘bubble training’ ng Golden Tigers sa bayan ng kanilang head coach na si Aldin Ayo sa Sorsogon. Pinatawan ng ‘indefinite banned’ ng UAAP si Ayo.
