Gabe King is a beast.
And we could just leave it at that. Watch him pass-rush from his defensive end slot against some of the Carolinas' best offensive linemen, and watch no one--and I mean no one--come close to stopping him.
This happened this afternoon at the Scout.com Combine at West Charlotte High School. Probably 200 of the best players in the area showed up, and King, who played last year at Greensboro Page, is 6-foot-6, more than 250 pounds and, from what I saw, apparently unstoppable.
He also ran the 40-yard dash in an electronically timed 4.75, over a very bumpy grass route on the West Charlotte practice field. There were DBs being clocked at 4.8 and 4.9.
When it was over, after 5 hours of collisions, measuring and drills, King was the combine's overall MVP. More to come from a very interesting day later.--Stan Olson

"King, who played last year at Greensboro Page, is 6-foot-6, more than 250 pounds and, from what I saw, apparently unstoppable." rumor has him heading to a neighborhood in the Independence HS District...
Referring to these talented athletes as "dogs" seems very offensive. Why not use a better term after the association with dog fighting and football, ala Mike Vick?
To Anonymous 2, I'm really sorry if that "Big Dogs" reference offends you. The kids themselves like the term, and you hear it often. Kind of a trickle-down thing from the NFL...
Stan, are you hearing anything about his recruitment, and his interest in Cal?
