On to more important things...have we started brainstorming nicknames yet? I'll start with:
Kohnen the Ball-barian
Kohnen the Ball-barian
Jack Kohnen committed to Iowa State!!!
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
Watching his film, I'm just as interested in getting his brother in cardinal and gold.
I assume that will all depend on how he does and how he likes it. We are either at a huge advantage or a huge disadvantage pending how well Jack likes it at Iowa State
You’ve got to be kidding with this evaluation based off of 1 video from a year and a half ago. While he probably doesn’t have a 40” vertical he has several highlights with pretty impressive dunks including a 2 hand alley oop. He is 10x the athlete Milan is. Averaged over 20 points, 11 rebounds and almost 5 assists as a junior. Best shooter in the Nike EYBL and named one of the best defenders. Not an “explosive” athlete but definitely athletic enough to compete and finish at the rim in college. Maybe do a little more research before you post your “evaluation”
You wouldn’t take a Milan with more advanced ball handling and passing?
Don’t misconstrue what he said
His younger brother likely makes his college decision after Jack has been on campus for less than a month.
I would assume his younger brother makes his decision around the same time his brother did
You guys are overly concerned about height. Quickness is my priority. Look at the heights of 4 starters on each team:
Knicks 6'2" 6'5" 6'6" 6'7"
Spurs 6'3" 6'5" 6'6" 6'7"
Also, did summer workouts start today for our new team?

There's no way Kohnen is getting to the hoop with the athleticism he has in that video
He's not explosive at all and looks slow footed. I was expecting a little more athleticism. He has good size, but I don't see him being able to take a good Big 12 defender off the bounce.
His exact quotes
How did I “misconstrue” what he said?
Georges Niang regularly took guys off the bounce and he had no explosiveness.
He just wasn't a dunker during games. Just wasn't his style of play, as he rarely attacked the hoop nor went towards the rim on runouts. In warmups, Cap City, and certain G League games - he showed some of the more impressive dunks I've seen from a Cyclone guard in memory.
You’re acting like he said he isn’t a good pickup or won’t have success
He has limitations the poster didn’t expect.
He also implied he was better than Milan. Yet, you’re melting down
Thomas couldn’t guard a fence post coming in.
It is genuinely psychotic to land a top 50 player and then spend a thread tearing him down... If TJ wants him, that should be good enough for everyone.
Right...and Jack will report in Sping of 2027. About a month prior to when Joey likely makes his decision.
Think there was only one guy saying he wasn't impressed with his athleticism/explosion. Jack is a stud. His highlight reel as a soph in HS just isn't going to jump off the screen like a Deonte Burton Rashon Clark type player.
JJeff was not explosive either but could really handle any guard out on the perimeter. Sometimes those types of guys are real cerebral and have an intuition about what is gonna happen next that always puts them into position and not out of position.
Nojus was pretty athletic and we know how that turned out.
“This high school junior is gonna suck” is some serious summer-message-board stuff
We got a highly rated recruit out of Wisconsin...
