Mason Amos has moved on from his controversial transfer from Ateneo to its fierce rival in De La Salle. 

In a roller coaster of an offseason, the Ateneo community made no effort to hide its frustration toward Amos' shock move including most of his former teammates, effectively burning bridges for now. 

“I mean, a lot of them have really cut the communication off with me. So, I haven’t really gotten in touch with them,” Amos told some members of the media. 

“I wish them all the best. I have no bad blood. I’m grateful to be part of what they had,” he added. 

Aside from practically being shunned by the Ateneo community, Amos is also looking at the new UAAP mandatory two-year eligibility rule in front of him.

Although it will take a little longer for the 20-year-old Amos to debut for La Salle, he refused to take the rule change negatively and insisted that there’s a lot of meaningful work that can be done in that period. 

“To be honest, I’m not looking at it in a negative way. I know I lost two playing years but I’m taking it positively. I know I can do a lot in those two years. Just looking forward to that,” Amos said. 

Last month, Amos joined the Green Archers in their debut title win in the World University Basketball Series (WUBS) in Japan and has made significant progress getting to know Topex Robinson's system, which he was generous of praises for. 

"With coach Topex, he’s a great coach. He is a player’s coach, he really knows how to communicate with his players and build a relationship. Being a part of it, he also welcomed me and I’m just grateful that he took me in," said Amos. 

For now, Amos is seeking to make some valuable contributions for Gilas Pilipinas in the upcoming FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers in November where he is expected to pick up the slack of his non-playing participation in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in July. 

There, the 6-foot-7 Amos will be joining hands with his La Salle teammate and reigning UAAP MVP Kevin Quiambao.
