De La Salle University, through its new program backer lawyer Mans Carpio, formally welcomed Mark Nonoy and Deo Cuajao to its fold Tuesday.
In a photo release, Nonoy and Cuajao were seen wearing the DLSU green jacket and white shirt along with Carpio and Team Phenom Sports President Jackson Chua.
Carpio, husband of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte, was reportedly responsible for recruiting the two players from University of Santo Tomas, which have been the center of controversy the past weeks due to the Sorsogon training bubble.
Nonoy and Chua have been under Team Phenom Sports.
A product of Negros Occidental, Nonoy clinched the UAAP Rookie of the Year plum in Season 82 after posting averages of 11.11 points, 3.83 rebounds and 2.78 assists per game.
Cuajao, meanwhile, made his presence felt in the PBA D-League.
The two, however, will have to sit out for one year before being eligible for the UAAP Season 84.
