Jhuniel Dela Rama, a revelation for the Letran Squires in NCAA Season 100 juniors basketball tournament, bared he has yet to finalize his decision on where to play in college.
In a previous interview, Letran Knights head coach Allen Ricardo said both graduating Squires Dela Rama and Syrex Silorio have committed to play in the seniors team.

The 6-foot-2 forward, though, said he has yet to give his commitment but revealed he was indeed approached by the Knights but had a change of heart.
"Nag-decommit lang ako kasi mas alam ko at pamilya ko na 'di ako bagay po dito," Dela Rama told GMA News Online.
[I've decommited because my family and I know that I'm not a good fit here.]
Dela Rama was one of the bright spots for the Squires in their Season 100 campaign, where the two-time reigning champions failed to defend the title after finishing fourth overall.
Despite not making the finals, the 19-year-old Dela Rama showed a lot of promise after averaging 11.55 points, 8.91 rebounds, 1.45 assists, 1.09 blocks, and 0.82 steals.
His stellar showing landed him spots in the Mythical Five and Defensive Team.
