Top-70 prospect Brady Koehler visits Notre Dame, Wake Forest up next
By SAM LANCE
Class of 2025 four-star forward Brady Koehler took an official visit to Notre Dame this past weekend from Sept. 6-8. Notre Dame is one of his five finalists that he will officially visit before nearing a decision in early October.
“They gave me a great development strategy, and said if I work, that they all truly believe I can have a career in the NBA,” Koehler said to ZAGSBLOG via text of the Notre Dame visit.
Koehler — the 6-foot-8, 180-pound forward from Cathedral (IN) and the Indy Heat Nike EYBL AAU program — has now visited the Irish, Northwestern and Iowa. He will close with Wake Forest (Sept. 13) and Virginia Tech (Sept. 27). He previously broke down all of these programs to ZAGSBLOG at Peach Jam.
Northwestern: “Coach [Chris] Lowery has been recruiting me for a year and a half now. So I’ve built a good relationship with him. And coach [Chris] Collins, same thing with him right there. They come out to my games.”
Iowa: “I like their coaching staff a lot. I haven’t really seen their campus yet or seen how they play. But coach [Sherman] Dillard and coach [Fran] McCaffery come out to a lot of games and show me love, so I like that. To be honest I don’t really know a lot, but that’s why I’m going up there.”
Notre Dame: “I mean I love Notre Dame. I’ve been up there like four or five times now and the coaching staff is great. The way they run their offense is really similar to my high school so that shouldn’t really be a hard transition if I decided to go there.”
On head coach Micah Shrewsberry: “I think really highly of him. He’s a great coach and he’s a great guy to be around. So I like him a lot.”
Wake Forest: “They’re one of the schools that offered me early just like Notre Dame. So I’ve been over there two or three times now. Same thing they run a really similar offense to my high school and it would be an easy transition. I just love the coaching staff there so.”
Virginia Tech: “Same thing. The coaching staff, there’s a lot of similarities between all of these schools with the coaching staff. I feel like I just have a great relationship with all of these guys and they come out and show me love a lot at these games. I like seeing them in the stands to know they really want me and it’s not just them throwing an offer out there.”
At Peach Jam, Koehler averaged 6.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game playing alongside talented scorers Jalen Haralson and Jeremiah Fears. He also tallied seven blocks across the five pool play games. Indy Heat went 2-3.
Koehler is ranked the No. 65 overall prospect in the 2025 class by 247Sports. He not only puts in work on the court, but off the court as well. He has a 3.9 GPA and wants to study business in college. Koehler told ZAGSBLOG he wants to decide in early October.
