CJ Cansino is off to Diliman as confirmed by UP coach Bo Perasol.@StarSportsHub @PhilippineStar
Cansino's decision to move to the Diliman-based squad comes on the heels of his controversial exit from the UST Growling Tigers.
According to Cansino, the Tigers let him go but refused to disclose why.
Following the reports of his commitment to the Maroons, Cansino tweeted a fist — a symbol closely associated with the UP Fighting Maroons.

The 20-year-old had a stellar rookie season for the Tigers when he averaged 12.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game before an injury sidelined his game.
He had a comeback year in UAAP Season 82 but he only posted the norms of 6.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per outing.
But Cansino, who served as team captain for UST in their run to the UAAP Finals last year, was still a glue guy for the Tigers even with his limited production.
