CSU basketball earned a commitment Wednesday from former Iowa State guard Bubu Palo.

Palo, who announced his decision to the Ames Tribune, was dismissed from the Cyclones' program at the end of the 2012-13 season when he was found to have violated ISU's Student Code of Conduct. He was accused of second degree sexual assault in September 2012, but the charges were dropped the following January.

As a junior at ISU during the 2012-13 season, the 6-foot-1 Palo averaged 2.8 points and 1.7 assists in 17 games. He did not play last season.

The Coloradoan has not been able to contact Palo, but a source close to the situation confirmed the news Wednesday night.

With Palo's transfer, Colorado State University now has one scholarship remaining for its 2014 recruiting class. Also joining the Rams this offseason will be Jeremiah Paige (Rangeview High School), Gian Luis Clavell (Northwest Kansas Technical College) and Daniel Mulamba (Southwestern Christian College). Former Louisville forward Chane Behanan was planning to transfer to CSU but is instead entering the NBA draft.
