Kohler holds offers from four B1G schools — Michigan State, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska — according to 247sports. Iowa, Nebraska, USC and Oklahoma are showing the most interest in him at this point, 247sports reports, and he has an official visit to Nebraska scheduled for Sept. 25.
At a recent showcase, the 6-foot-8, 250-pound forward dropped 53 points and grabbed 23 rebounds.

Michigan State has 4 scholarship spots left to offer for the Class of 2022. If Tom Izzo can pull off a commitment from Kohler, he’d be off to a great start to the 2022 recruiting cycle. He already has a commitment from 4-star point guard Tre Holloman.
The Spartans open their 2021-22 campaign against Kansas on Nov. 9.
