As a sportsman, Raul likely had plenty of opportunities to finesse his technique and perfect his coordination skills. These will surely come in handy during Casa Amor as well.
The 24-year-old Florida native started playing for the LIU Brooklyn Blackbirds, the basketball team representing Long Island University, circa 2015. He stayed on the team until 2019. He was named the Northeast Conference Player of the Week in December 2018, per the Long Island University Athletics site.
