I’ve been told Key is back.

Key returning would be a big boost at a position that sure could use it. It would definitely take some pressure off Owen King.
About the DJJ video: I loved the gratuitous shot of the Mercedes logo on the steering wheel. I think Vegas is a good place for him.
Thanks for the two years but see ya! Otz can get players but I’ve never thought he was good with x/o especially defense. Three years ago I hammered him on this board for not using daum in pick n pop, finally he utilized him in that space and had success. Daum was a beast with Nagy in the pick n pop.
I have mixed feelings about the possibility of Key returning. Unless there is an untold story that gives a good reason for him appearing to bail on the team last season. It appears to me that we are in for a rebuilding season, and I would rather give the minutes to King, Mims, Scheierman and Freidel and start to find out what we have and let them grow together. Unless there are plans to redshirt Freidel and/or Scheierman - I would hate to see them burn a year of eligibility just to get a few mop-up minutes.
No way freidal should red shirt. He’s ready to contribute physically and skill wise. Unless we are just throwing in the towel this year. I’ve watched him play enough to know he could start next year.
