In hopes of not losing out on another top in-state recruit, the Wisconsin Badgers need to keep a close eye on the Iowa Hawkeyes.
On Thursday, May 7, Jack Kohnen went on an unofficial visit with Ben McCollum’s squad.
Iowa City played host to the class of 2027 forward who currently plays for Slinger High School.
Kohnen is a 6-foot-6 recruit who is 247Sports No. 3 player in Wisconsin. Recently, the Badgers just missed out on Donovan Davis who was listed as the No. 2 player.
Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook’s Mark Miller revealed Kohnen was on a visit with the Hawkeyes before later revealing Iowa State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin are all heavily involved.
Clearly, the Big Ten is all over one of the top small forward prospects in the class of 2027. Keep in mind, Kohnen visited with the Cornhuskers less than one month ago.
Greg Gard once again has his work cut out for him, especially with TJ Otzelberger in the mix. Remember, the Cyclones have already taken six key Wisconsin natives from the Badgers.
