Everyone’s journey in the recruitment process is different. It all depends on the situation within the family and the school recruiting said player. Taryn Ottemann Taryn Ottemann 5'11" | PF Johnson-Brock | 2025 State NE of Johnson Brock High School was patient during her journey but that doesn’t change the fact that she was dedicated to playing at the next level. Eventually, Ottemann signed with Grand View (NAIA) out of Des Moines to continue on her basketball path and I think she is going to be very important in her team’s success over this Playoff journey. Ottemann does stand right around 6’0, she has great muscle mass to pair along with that, and she is a hard-worker. She is a post that likes to do her work early in a possession, so that things become easier later on. Johnson Brock is putting together a Winter they will never forget. They are sitting at 22-1 at the moment with their eyes on the prize. If they continue to do what they have done all season long, then this group will be a tough out for opposing programs on any given night.

One of the best RPG that the state of Nebraska had to offer was PF, Taryn Ottemann Taryn Ottemann 5'11" | PF Johnson-Brock | 2025 State NE of Johnson-Brock High School and a few days ago she committed to Grand View in Iowa to continue on her journey. Ottomann is a solid body with a physicality about her and some good knowledge of when, to do what on the floor. As for Grand View, this is the program’s 2nd-3rd pickup the past few weeks from prospects out of the state of Iowa and Nebraska. This is a program that is known for their fundamental play style so as long as they continue to teach these prospects their system, they should continue to do well moving forward.

When I first watched Taryn Ottemann Taryn Ottemann 5'11" | PF Johnson-Brock | 2025 State NE compete last Fall during out PGH Showcase in Omaha, she stood out as someone that can bring some positivity and balance to the floor. Ottemann competes at the Forward position and she seems to hold her own against any competition. I have yet to see a situation where she is completely outmatched by whoever is lining up across from her and that is promising in the grand scheme of things. As a Junior last Winter, Otteman led her 2025 Class in RPG for the D1 Class. As long as she continues to work hard and stays in love with the game of basketball, i’d expect some similar numbers over these next six months and leading into college, if that’s the route she chooses to take at the end of the day.
