GU Lands International Forward Victor Ruiz

Born 1995, 6' 6" forward who is primarily a slasher and played on a pro team in Spain with Sabonis' brother. Sabonis helped recruit him. He is already 19 years old but he tested too low on some exams (not sure what type, maybe language since has already been going to a college for non-sports reasons in Barcelona) to play D1 this year. Tommy Lloyd worked something out with a friend who coaches a Division 2 team, so Ruiz will play at some back-country Division 2 University in Hawaii next year and then transfer over to GU for 2015-2016. Division 2 transfer rules are a bit different than Division 1 (similar to JUCO transfers) and he won't have to sit out a year.

Here's a photo of him with some of the GU players - he's the one closest to Tommy Lloyd:
