Joel Bolomboy (born January 28, 1994) is a Ukrainian basketball player who recently completed his college career for Weber State University. A 6'9" power forward/center, Bolomboy was named Big Sky Conference Player of the Year in 2016.
Bolomboy was born in Russia to a Congolese father and a Russian mother, went to high school at Keller Central High School in Fort Worth, Texas, and chose Weber State for college despite interest from larger schools such as Clemson, Auburn and Florida State.[1] During his college career, Bolomboy became the all-time leading rebounder in Weber State and Big Sky Conference history.[2]
While always a strong rebounder, Bolomboy increased his scoring average in the 2015–16 season, averaging 17.9 points per game to go along with 12.8 rebounds per game. Following the season, Bolomboy was named first-team All-Big Sky Conference, as well as the league's Player of the Year and Defensive player of the year.[3]
