The UST Growling Tigers and Season 82 team captain CJ Cansino have agreed to part ways.
Cj Cansino, a former UAAP Juniors MVP, super rookie, double-double machine, triple-double player, monster rebounder and scorer. Surely, he's gonna be a gem for his next team.
Once seen as a future cornerstone of the Tigers side, Cansino has decided to leave the school.
A proper explanation is yet to be given about those personal reasons, but what is certain is that the 6-foot-2, 20-year-old guard is said to be hopeful about continuing his career in the UAAP.
CJ Cansino leaving UST is very 2020. UST Tigers will never be the same without him.
His next destination is unknown as of the moment. I guess he couldn't handle playing 4th fiddle behind Abando, Nonoy and Chabi Yo.
Going UP? For "academic reasons" because he needs to have a career after basketball and through UP he can achieve it. But the downside is his minutes and role in the team.
They are loaded as well. Dami ng recruited guards. Siguro sa UAAP or NCAA na mabibigyan sya ng opportunities as main or second guy.
Sabagay, me Abadiano na. Maganda sana kung mapunta siya sa ibang team na hindi masyado napapansin ngayon.
Will he sacrifice his minutes to win the UAAP Men's Basketball Title. UP is in win now mode because of the quality of players that they have. All they need is to replace the coach just as I've said a couple of times in the last UAAP season.
NU - He will be the face of the team, the offense will run through him, depending on who will be their next head coach. He has no competition unlike in UST. But the pressure is on him, can he lead that team to a final 4 berth in his last 2 playing seasons in UAAP.
Letran - he wants to go to a school that has the same feeling as to UST because they are sister schools. The Letran crowd is also same to the UST crowd, they are die hard fans. He will still have his UST fans supporting him.
SMC connection because he might play on a SMC team in the PBA after he finishes his Collegiate career.
DLSU - it might be a long shot but who knows. The team is also in a win now situation and will maximize the 2 remaining years of Cansino's eligibility.
All I know is this will be a hard decision for @cjcansino, he loves the Thomasian Community and vice versa. I hope him for the best in his next move as a player.
I also wish that the current UST coach didn't make a huge mistake by letting him leave the team.
Can you still remember when Ricci Rivero left DLSU and now CJ Cansino will be leaving UST. Can you imagine what will Brent Paraiso feel after CJ Cansino and Ricci Rivero left him?
I know CJ Cansino’s departure is heartbreaking but please don’t drag other Tigers down. I was watching Brent since his DLSU days, he didn’t have much playing time back then since La Salle is loaded with A LOT of talented players(Ricci, Ben, Aljun, J. TENG, etc).
