College career

[edit]

Prior to his final decision on where to play collegiate basketball, Rabb had as many as ten schools as finalists.[7] He ultimately announced his intent to enroll at the University of California, Berkeley, and play for the Golden Bears.[8]

After a strong freshman season where he earned second-team All-Pac-12 honors, Rabb surprised many by opting to forego the 2016 NBA draft (despite him being projected to be a lottery selection that year) and return to Cal.[9] Prior to the 2016–17 season, he was named a preseason All-American by the Associated Press.[10]

At the conclusion of his sophomore season on March 22, 2017, Rabb announced his intention to forgo his final two years of collegiate eligibility and enter the 2017 NBA draft.[11]
