sense from a recruiting standpoint. In his first year he's been all over the country recruiting and his haul for '23 is already (basically) done, allowing him to focus on '24. The haul so far includes four 247 4* with one having 5* potential and a center that *Iowa* wanted badly. If Iowa is recruiting your 3* hard then you're doing something right. Simply put, Otting has Joe Alt-style upside. He's a basketball player, quick on his feet, and it will be exciting after he has a year under Balis. And Elijah Page is criminally underrated.
Basically, HH is pulling two kids out of the South (Pendleton and Absher), one from AZ (Page), one from Kansas (Otting), and the other from Illinois (Jagusah), a state that ND has dropped off in. You don't do that without effort.
The other narrative was HH's personality, but all reports are that Kristofic, Lugg and Fisher have taken to him completely.
This OL is going to whoop OSU in the trenches. They are deeper, more physical, more talented, and better coached. When you add a mobile QB into the mix, it's going to be lights out for OSU.
