Kohler Backs Out of Kentucky | College Basketball News

Jaxon Kohler, Michigan State’s top transfer target, has flipped his commitment to BYU — a move that shakes up Kentucky’s final roster hopes. After a whirlwind decision process that included Zoom calls with the Wildcats and in-person meetings with the Cougars, Kohler chose Utah, bringing elite frontcourt talent to a team desperate for depth. His 12+ points and nearly 9 rebounds per game last season earned him All-Big Ten Honorable Mention, and he’ll join former Kentucky guard Collin Chandler in Provo. With Kohler off the board, Kentucky pivots to Missouri’s Mark Mitchell, whose eligibility could hinge on a pending Louisville court ruling — one that might open a new portal window just like it did for Kohler. The Wildcats are banking on repeating BYU’s success in bringing homegrown stars back. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
