Any Truth to the rumor that Gabe King was

[stanfurdbites]

*sigh ... there's apparently nothing more i can say ... fine, i'm a troll

[Tray Dub]

For the record, I don't think you're a troll. Hope you stick around.

Yeah definitely stay around, it's actually nice having some fans from other teams around here as long as they keep it civil.

Stanfurdbites, comparing the recruitment of Gabe King to existing rostered players such as Blount & Masoli has no bearing. The latter 2 are existing Duck players that the staff has to deal with in re to what has transpired, etc. In terms of Gabe King, they don't have to do anything. The kid is a recruit, nothing more & nothing less. They get a chance to see what kind of young man he is and they decided, not that he was some horrible person, but simply that they decided to go in another direction. Combine that with the potential, though most don't feel we did anything wrong, of possible accusations of wrongdoing that never is pretty even if you are innocent because some will always think you cheated, etc. It boils down to cut him loose. And believe, if you knew as much as some people do re Gabe and this entire situation re these NC kids, it's better this way.

1- Cal was going to bitch and whine that we cheated somehow in getting King? Is this accurate?
2- Are we ever going to hear about what happened between Gabe/CK that ended in the offer being pulled?

1- Cal was going to bitch and whine that we cheated somehow in getting King? Is this accurate? Absolutely they were. Cal coaches were planting that in GK's ear for quite a while though our compliance dept checked and informed all parties that we did nothing wrong
2- Are we ever going to hear about what happened between Gabe/CK that ended in the offer being pulled?

I don't know how much will be revealed, and some of it won't come out right away, but I know of at least 3 very credible sources who will be shedding more light on this whole drama soemtime after tomorrow.
