    I’ll be rooting for him big time. Nervously rooting, but rooting!

    Whole situation confuses me, but ok. Best of luck to KJ. I don’t fault him for any of this debacle.

    What are the chances he suits up and scores against us at the end of January?
    This feels like a cruel trick by the Gods.

    Kansas State has had quite a distinguished list of head coaches. I will name some of the highlights:

    Tex Winter
    Cotton Fitzsimmons
    Jack Hartman
    Lon Kruger
    Dana Altman
    Bob Huggins
    Frank Martin
    Bruce Weber

    Pretty good list.

    Jerome Tang is new and had a good career as an assistant coach and associate head coach at Baylor.

    There are some insurance agents somewhere celebrating this announcement. They will be toasting with champagne, if he plays in games this season

    So what are you saying! It’s not the coaches?

    It's not that kind of confusion. You know my stance on the whole situation.

    Is it as simple as UF wouldn’t allow him to suit up despite medical clearance? I.e., he would have stayed at UF if UF allowed him to suit up again? UF simply doesn’t want liability/questions doctor clearance?

    I am not a basketball guy. I follow UF baseball religiously and when I was a student I followed basketball very closely but I haven’t paid much attention in 14-15 years. I sucked at the sport and stopped playing in 4th grade.

    IOW if he doesn't collapse again he's good to go. If he collapses again, he might live to collect the payout.

    Key was cleared by some programs, whereas others were not willing. He was not cleared at Florida, and after the coaching change… I’m not sure he pursued it much. Key didn’t know or have relationship w Todd, and Florida hadn’t shown sign of clearing him to play.
    Most of Key’s teammates were gone from Florida, as was his entire coaching staff. I think starting over was better pursued elsewhere.

    I don’t know if the sexual assault allegations played a factor in KJ’s recruitment, but, if they didn’t, then almost every college in the country would have wanted him. So, it seems obvious to me, that his medical issue kept him from getting scholarship offers from most schools.
