A 6’9” forward from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Ramogi played a season at Division 1 Saint Thomas University in Minnesota before returning home this year to play at the University of Manitoba. Ramogi was a part of two provincial championship teams in high school, although he missed the first title game due to the Sabbath. The provincial athletic association was unwilling to change that first game, but the following year it was moved to a Monday and Ramogi got to play. He talks about his relationship to the Sabbath and how he has navigated his observance in different situations. He believes he missed out on the U17 Canadian national team because he wouldn’t play on Sabbath, and later decided to play on Sabbath on the U18 team, where he won a bronze medal. He’s transparent about his journey with the Sabbath moving forward as a collegiate athlete and how he will continue to honor it. 

Ramogi shares his experience playing NCAA division 1 basketball, participation in an NBA academy event via the national team, and a low moment where he considered quiting basketball. Ramogi is excited for this season at the University of Manitoba and says he’s open to playing at an Adventist university at the end of his college career!
