Where will CJ Cansino go? UAAP, NCAA players send their pitches

After news broke out that CJ Cansino will leave the University of Santo Tomas, players from different universities wasted no time in recruiting the departing King Tiger.

Take for example, University of the Philippines' Juan Gomez de Liaño.

"Bro, the doors are always open @cjcansino, No where to go but??"

"Basta babalik ka," replied CJ to the Fighting Maroon, who will take a break for UAAP Season 83.

Letran's Fran Yu sent a pitch to CJ as well, but De La Salle University's (DLSU) Aljun Melecio was quick to offer a counter-bid.

Wag ka maniwala diyan. @cjcansino pm moko ????

Former Green Archer Andrei Caracut also jumped in, showing pictures of DLSU buildings and training facilities.

Ateneo de Manila University's Dave Ildefonso also tried to convince CJ to move to the Blue Eagles' nest.

"Tara sabayan mo ko sa residency," said the guard, who left National University to return to Ateneo.

SJ Belangel also helped in backing Ildefonso's pitch by trying to make CJ remember about their Batang Gilas days.

Mamuyac, Credo, Berjay, Ildefenso, Belangel, Cansino? Sarap balikan Batang Gilas days ????

NU's Shaun Ildefonso also tried his luck in offering something to CJ.

"Gusto ko lang sabihin pre 'We've got it all for you,' a reference to the tagline of NU's main corporate backer.

Gusto ko lang sabihin pre “We’ve got it all for you” @cjcansino

University of the East's Harvey Pagsanjan also posted a photo of him with CJ with the caption: "What if lang naman."

The players' pitches may not be formal, but one thing's for sure: Cansino will be a prized recruit wherever he lands. —Justin Kenneth Carandang/MGP, GMA News
