Nebraska basketball hosted four-star 2027 recruit Jack Kohnen on an official visit over the weekend. Kohnen, a 6-6 forward from Slinger, Wisconsin, is ranked as the No. 62 overall prospect in the 2027 class and the third-best player in the state of Wisconsin. The Huskers are looking to add Kohnen to their 2027 recruiting class, which already includes a commitment from Ty Schlagel, a top-100 forward.

Why it matters

Landing a commitment from Kohnen would be a major recruiting win for Nebraska, as they look to continue building momentum on the recruiting trail. The Huskers have already hosted several other top-ranked 2027 prospects, signaling their intent to assemble a talented recruiting class to complement their recent on-court success.

The details

Kohnen, who holds offers from 10 Division I programs, is considering Nebraska, Iowa State, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame. The Huskers are the only school to have hosted him for an official visit so far, giving them an early advantage in his recruitment. Nebraska's 2027 class currently includes a commitment from Ty Schlagel, a 6-5 forward ranked No. 103 overall. The Huskers are looking to pair Kohnen, a 6-6 forward, with Schlagel to create a formidable frontcourt duo.
