High school career
Golomán went to high school in Körmend, Hungary, for 3 years, and was part of the Hungarian men's national under-19 basketball team, when an American high school scout noticed him. He went overseas to Florida for his final high school season, playing for Sagemont School. He was recruited to UCLA after assistant Ed Schilling came to watch his teammate Prince Ali.[1]

Golomán played in 35 games in his freshman season at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), averaging 1.3 points per game in 10.8 minutes of play. During his sophomore season, he played in 15 games, averaging 2.0 points per game in 12.1 minutes of play, before an injury ended his season. In his junior season, he made his first start, starting 5 games out of the 35 UCLA played that season. He averaged 3.7 points per game in 11.5 minutes. With the departure of T. J.
