Red Raven basketball season is just days away, and KGGF Player Spotlights begin with a look at sophomore guard Jeremiah Kemboi.
Kemboi is a redshirt sophomore from El Dorado, Kansas, and began his career at McPherson College before spending the past two seasons with CCC. He appeared in 26 games last season, and was a key energy piece off the bench.
Kemboi is one of multiple sophomore guards, joining Brian Griffith, Justin Taylor, and Desmond Marshall. He says the experience in the room creates constant friendly battles.
Jeremiah has received praise for being one of the best on-ball defenders on the team, and in the landscape of the Jayhawk conference. He also has been called a "coach on the court" by the coaching staff, crediting his high basketball IQ.
Kemboi says hearing that is the ultimate compliment.
Jeremiah and the Ravens open the season against Moberly Area on Friday night at 7 p.m. CT.
