Skilled redshirt forward with size, scoring touch and high-IQ upside
Kokal is a **6-foot-7 forward** for South Dakota who spent the 2024-25 season redshirting, so his college impact is still projected rather than proven in-game, but his background suggests real upside: he was a **1,186-point high-school scorer** with **519 rebounds**, shot just over **50%** as a senior, and earned repeated Scholar-Athlete recognition. Coaches and roster notes describe him as a **well-rounded player** who can score **inside and outside** and who has added strength, making him an intriguing fit for a team that values size, skill, and development potential.[5][10][14]
