Prep Hoops Ranking: 4

Kohnen committed to Iowa State last weekend, joining Donovan Davis Donovan Davis 6'8" | PF/SF Freedom | 2027 State #37 Nation WI of Freedom in the Cyclones’ 2027 recruiting class. An extremely versatile player who can play near the basket or out on the perimeter, Kohnen’s best trait might very well be his court vision. He just has a sense of finding open teammates and delivers the ball on time and on target. A three-year varsity performer at Slinger, Kohnen led the Owls to a runner-up finish in last year’s WIAA Division 2 State Tournament. He can score at all three levels and easily finishes above the rim. Kohnen is ranked No. 52 nationally by Prep Hoops.

Jack Kohnen Jack Kohnen 6'6" | SF Slinger | 2027 State #52 Nation WI was dominant against a much smaller Waupun squad in the Beaver Dam Fieldhouse on Saturday. The long, physical wing prospect did his best Giannis impression scoring several times with ease at the rim downhill and off of post touches. Kohnen had nine made baskets within three feet of the basket and was unstoppable when getting to this spot. Jack finished the game 24 points despite not playing the last seven minutes of the matchup. Kohnen continues to hear from power five programs across the country due to his size, athleticism, and ability to score the basketball at all three levels. Kohnen and the Owls still need to beat West Bend East and Grafton to secure a North Shore conference championship after dropping a nail biter to Nicolet last Thursday. Slinger will get one final challenge against the Trojans of Tosa West next week, as a final tune-up for a probable prolonged playoff run in Division 2.

I wrote about Jack’s brother Joey in Part 1 and believe it or not, Jack was even more impressive in their matchup against Freedom and Donovan Davis Donovan Davis 6'8" | PF/SF Freedom | 2027 State #37 Nation WI . Slinger overall used their team defense to slow down Freedom’s high powered offense that includes Davis, but Jack was sensational with lockdown defense guarding the #1 ranked prospect most of the night. In addition to his stellar defensive performance, Jack showcased his ability to score at any level, at any time, knocking down 2 threes, converting on hook shots, and getting to the rim at will. Iowa, Wisconsin, and Marquette, all schools that have offered Kohnen a scholarship, were in the house to witness his 24 point 12 rebound performance. Without a doubt, Kohnen will continue to rack up the power five offers as Team Herro competes on the prestigious EYBL circuit.
