The basics
ESPN lists Kohnen as a 6-foot-4, 195-pound shooting guard from Slinger, Wis., at Slinger High School, with his status undeclared. WISN identified him as a sophomore for Slinger at the 2025 Rick Majerus WBY Shootout in Mequon. Listed as a SG at Slinger, and he appears on the Wisconsin board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
ESPN ranks Kohnen No. 54 in the class of 2028 with an 85 scout grade. 247Sports ranks him No. 116. Prep Hoops ranks him No. 83.
Production
WISN said sophomore Joey Kohnen led Slinger with 33 points in a 70-54 win over Oshkosh North on Dec. 30, 2025.
The recruitment
ESPN lists Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin on his school list as of July 5, 2026, without marking those schools as offers. WISN said Joey has drawn offers from Iowa State and Wisconsin. He remains uncommitted.
The look
WISN said sophomore Joey Kohnen led Slinger with 33 points in a 70-54 win over Oshkosh North on Dec. ESPN ranks Kohnen No. 54 in the class of 2028 with an 85 scout grade.
ESPN lists Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin on his school list as of July 5, 2026, without marking those schools as offers. WISN said Joey has drawn offers from Iowa State and Wisconsin. He remains uncommitted. Jack Kohnen is in the same gym. I would stay with Kohnen at No. 82. Slinger plus 33 points is the whole 2028 argument.
What to watch
Can the 33-point WBY Shootout line WISN logged become a conference-night standard? Do the Iowa State and Wisconsin offers WISN named stay at the front of the ESPN school list?
