Brown Inks Highly-Touted Forward

Wichita State head coach Isaac Brown made another spring recruiting splash this week with the addition of high school forward Kenny Pohto.

The 6-foot-11 Pohto (pronounced POH-toe), a consensus top-150 pick among the national recruiting services, signed a financial aid agreement on Wednesday afternoon.

Originally from Sweden, he's played the last three seasons at Sunrise Christian Academy, located just north of Wichita, and recently helped the school to a runner-up finish at GEICO Nationals.

Pohto will have four seasons of eligibility beginning this Fall.

Coach Brown said:

"Kenny fits the newer trend at our level -- mobile, skilled big guys who can play and guard multiple positions.
