BYU has reportedly become the front-runner for Jaxon Kohler, the former Michigan State forward. Recent reports from On3 insiders indicate that Kohler has been in discussions with multiple programs, including Kentucky and Louisville, but appears unlikely to return to Michigan State. The forward averaged 12.5 points and 8.9 rebounds during his last season with the Spartans and played in the NBA Summer League with the Utah Jazz this summer. As Kohler seeks a fifth year of eligibility, returning to his home state to play for BYU could be a favored option among fans.
