Jaxon Kohler

I just wish they had moved the needle with big man, you know, and maybe have gotten a different big man early in the portal.

But again, Jackson Kohler is a massive gap.

And, you know, Jacob is not a shabby signing as well.

And so, you know, I think there's a lot of positivity going into the season.

If Jackson Culler or Urbaniak are not eligible this season, how does that determine your optimism for the BYU basketball team and season this year? Sorry, Ben, you cut off.

Can you say that again, please? If Jackson Kohler and or Urbaniak are not eligible this season, how does that influence your level of optimism regarding this BYU basketball team in 2026-2027? It does

a 180, Ben, and I'm going to be as doubtful and unhopeful as I am hopeful with them there.

One.

Two, how does it impact Jackson Kohler? The latest there really doesn't impact him much at all.

The expectation would still be that Jackson Kohler will still be able to play because he has a temporary restraining order from California.

And we've learned that he did not sign an Exhibit 10 contract and he wasn't drafted.

And the Big 12, when I reached out to them specifically about players who participated in Summer League, that's what they pointed out.

They'd get drafted.

They sign a contract.

Neither of those apply to Jackson Kohler.
