'22 SF Buru Naivalurua (Garden City CC ---> Oakland )

[theblueram]

He's what we need. Another great Aussie band:

[Billyboy78]

Ok, I'll join in. Does Buru make us.....

[ElmCityRhody]

[theblueram]

Wonder if he knows Occy, one of my favorite surfers?

[Jdrums#3]

How can he say no to us now, after the above displays of Aussie culture?

KB closing the deal!

Let’s gooooo Buuuruuuuu!

[RhodyBB91]

I think with Alex transferring we may have landed Buru!

[Dino611]

I would presume so

[PeterRamTime]

Do wanna point out he's also Fijian

Get out! Same place where they make the water they sell in the airport???

Don't knock the FIJI, that's some high quality h2o

[SGreenwell]

Updated the initial player profile post, since he's now visited.

[rhodyblue12]

If Buru doesn't commit, it will be nothing but pain and misery for Rhody. Come on Buru!

[Billyboy78]

It's been almost a week since the visit. I figure the longer it goes, the less likely he's coming. Hopefully we hear something soon.

[RIrugger01]

Everyone drink a Fosters tonight for good juju

[theblueram]

Just in case Buru likes to surf, Newport has some pretty good waves. And visited always by many great surfers.

[Dino611]

Trust the process

[CamsRams]

[rhodyram22]

Looks like he enjoyed his visit!!!

[McRam]

Did he post that today ?

I would take that as a very good sign

[hrstrat57]

Well the Anchormen can use a good wing player

[Dino611]

Heard he took a Miami visit as well, and with him posting this I like our chances

[Ramfan22]

Rhode Island College

Damn, if we beat Miami for a player that's pretty fucking good.

[reef]

Really good video , how can he not come to URI after that ??

Looks like his development coach posted the video. Hopefully a positive development.

[ramster]

From the start of this thread what schools has he narrowed down to?
Is Miami now added to the list?

Is there a final 3? 4? 2?

Curious, I haven't seen anything on the Canes message board regarding Buru.

One of Miami's top portal targets is (F) Mathew Cleveland from FSU.
They are in his final 3 along with Auburn and Mizzou.

Miami also got a recent visit from (F) Robbie Beran from Northwestern.

Miami still trying to close on several highly rated bigs for the 2023 recruiting class.

Buru would probably be buried on the bench there, but still Miami a pretty nice place and of course their success last season.

[Billyboy78]

I like seeing President Parlange in that video. Don't forget that he worked for many years and did great things in Australia before coming to URI.

I think we have a great shot at Buru, especially being in on him early.

Here’s my source Jersey, it’s a saved live stream from one of Burus family member right before they go on the URI Official and they talk about it, sounds like his family wasn’t invited so it could’ve been an unofficial

Still think we’re in a good spot for him

[jcru]

If Dino says we're in a good spot for him, we're in a good spot for him.

After all, he's in on the zoom calls... even though, we're not supposed to say that he's in on the zoom calls. wink wink, nudge nudge

[Billyboy78]

Are we sure that's the U ? Could it be another school in the Miami area?

He didn't sound really enthused by his visit there, he said some parts were good some not so great, didn't elaborate.
Probably an unofficial, none of the fans paid attention on their board.
Looks like we gave them the red-carpet treatment.

I feel like that insta post signifies that he's going to commit here. Would be a huge get for us.

Couldn’t agree more looks like Austin is working his ass of for this recruit

[Iggy1979]

Sounded like he was there to celebrate someone's birthday. He talked about the city but not the campus.
No one can accuse URI of not giving 100% on these visits.

[jcru]

I feel like we need a few more songs to put this over the top. Here's one, I believe it's a children's song. The "Bush Whackers" tag team from old school WWF used to use it as their entrance song.

[Billyboy78]

Buru also put part of that video in his IG stories. But nothing about a commitment.

Maybe we will get some good news from him this week, I am optimistic.

Not to jump ahead, but getting 6 commitments in April would give us a good head start preparing for the summer.
Also gives us the opportunity to be extremely selective with our last spot.
Looks like Archie and the staff are doing a good job filling our needs.

Again we never know how these players work out and team chemistry, but I like the way they are constructing our roster.

After finishing the last 3 seasons, 10,11, and 14 in a weakened A10, I never expected us to get the creme-of-the-crop transfers, but I am satisfied as to how things are coming together this off-season.

[jcru]

Waltzing Matilda, Australian Military March

[Jdrums#3]

I want him. He solidifies our front court rotation and provides scoring potential - which we need with the scoring we’ve lost.

Let’s goooooooo!

Well, in fairness, she started the video by saying they just got off a 15 hour plane flight and waiting another 95 mins to board their next flight, so...

I honestly don't know how people can fly for that long. Do it while you are young, I guess. Even with compression socks and whatnot, I can barely fly the 5-6 hours it takes to go to my in laws in England, from Logan to Heathrow or Gatwick.

I do hope we get a Buru commit this week. Just stay here for at least the next two years, no need to go anywhere else. 2 years is 24 months, that will fly by.

Could be true Billy, could be possibly FIU

Yeah, it looks like they treated him well in Kingston!
