Wisconsin Basketball Staff Offers Strong Rising 2027 In-State Forward
Wisconsin Basketball Staff Offers Strong Rising 2027 In-State Forward 1
The Wisconsin basketball staff has finally extended an offer to a 2027 recruit who has impressed across multiple different environments as of late.
Jack Kohnen, a 2027 three-star small forward, is currently the fourth ranked recruit in the state of Wisconsin in the 2027 recruiting cycle. Kohnen has been a star for both Slinger High School and Team Herro on the EYBL circuit which has been a stock-raiser for the recruit. The recruit is a do-it-all kind of player on the court which has drawn plenty of attention and a scholarship offer from the Wisconsin basketball staff.
Kohnen has mainly been floating under-the-radar as much of the 2027 recruiting class has, but some programs have contacted the recruit early. Iowa, Iowa State, Marquette, and Western Illinois have all offered scholarships to Kohnen as well, with the Cyclones hosting the recruit for a visit as well.

For the Wisconsin basketball staff, Kohnen could be the perfect fit within a tough, competitive 2027 in-state class that very well could see no top recruit stay home.
Wisconsin acted quickly early on when scouting out the 2027 recruiting class and offered a scholarship to top in-state recruit and four-star power forward Donovan Davis. Davis has since blossomed into a top recruit in the nation and almost certainly will draw interest from all over the country. Fellow top recruits Dooney Johnson and Jalen Brown are also examples of great players in Wisconsin who will draw enough interest to have an offer virtually anywhere across the country.
Davis, Johnson, and Brown could all become potential long-shot commitments once the 2027 recruiting cycle begins to heat up. However, Kohnen is someone who the Wisconsin basketball staff could potentially land and keep close to home due to the timing of the scholarship offer and the fit within the team.
Wisconsin loves players who can do a bit of everything on the court and the team thrives on having someone like that on the roster. Guard Kamari McGee had been that guy alongside forward Carter Gilmore, and Kohnen could be someone who fills similar shoes. The forward has plenty of range beyond the three-point arc and enough strength to launch deep passes as well.
When the basketball is in the hands of Kohnen, the ball will certainly move fast as the forward consistently plans his next move before the defense has time to react. The forward drops beautiful passes, great catch-and-shoot opportunities, and even has a knack for stealing the basketball away from the opposing team. Kohnen is always involved in the plays occurring and a player who is found at the heart of the action is often one working the hardest.
