RenoHightower Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think King was more talented than anybody than they've had in the recent past. For people that didn't see him play, it may be hard to believe. He had size, speed to burn, and was a hitter. Oh yeah, and great instincts. That's not to say that one of their recent or current LBers won't have a better collegiate career. But IMO, King was a better HS LBer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKong2 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Refresh my memory of David King. Where did he go on to play college ball? he signed with Kansas State like 8 to 10 years ago he was 6'2 240 and ran a 4.4 and 10.8 in the 100 m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetiger114 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 he signed with Kansas State like 8 to 10 years ago he was 6'2 240 and ran a 4.4 and 10.8 in the 100 m He signed with Kansas State. I think he ended up playing one year with TJC. David was first team All-State as a sophomore in 98, spent much of the 99 season injured and rebounded to have another All-State season in 2000. He was very big and intimidating but I would pick Steve Edmond if I had a choice of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckNut Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I am glad that Steve Edmond is playing this year and not King. Edmond is very good, but he isn't scary like King was. King should be playing in the NFL it is a shame he is not he could be a multi-millionaire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefferson4life Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Steve Edmond is the most talented LB DF has ever had and may ever have. I know Edmonds is a beast, but apparently you didn't see much of Mr King. This guy was a monster. I know cause I aw him knock my boys Jefferson around for 3 years. Words can't describe what that kid was doing. I think the Edmunds kid is more of a defensive end type(not taking nothing from him), King was more compact and his arms were huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobigred09 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I played against David King and he was a really good player..however he wasn't even the best linebacker we played that year. We played Jimmy Wilkerson at Pewitt and "Tick" Johnson" at Hooks and felt like they were better players if you tried to run right at them. King was great sideline to sideline but not as strong if you ran right at him. He was by far the most intimidating player. And it is too bad he couldn't use his abilities to get himself a college education. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DfieldTiger1884 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 David King HANDS DOWN! Saw David a couple of weeks ago and he told me he was living up here in Frisco. Should be in the NFL. Coach Mac coached a LB that started at Miami during the early 2000s and said David was by far the best player he has ever coached! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogbacker Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Saw David a couple of weeks ago and he told me he was living up here in Frisco. What is he doing now in Frisco? Is he totally out of football. I am guessing he did not get his degree at K-State, but did he finish anywhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he didn't from KState, he wasnt there long at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you look at the recruit ranking alone Edmond is concidered one the best in the country. I also have seen Steve play and thought he is one the best HS LB's I have seen in years 1A-5A. and further more none this really matters anyway. Give Edmond credit without trying to compare or put down. Remember Edmond isn't out of school yet. That says a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say Manning is better then Brady, your not putting Brady down. Big Steve knows everybody in Dfield loves him and what he has done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Steve knows everybody in Dfield loves him and what he has done! then why compare them. Differant teams, Differant sizes, hell even differant recruiting bases. I say just give them both credit and not worry about who was better because it really doesn't matter anyway. Steve is playing at a HS level and King has been gone for 11 years. Stories get taller as they get older. By the way we are talking HS not NFL.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminolefan Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 although steve is an awesome linebacker, dave was just ridiculous. i still have the highlight tape from his senior year and he is in pretty much every play. just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Jimmy was a Jr. in 98 when we won state. That would put him graduating June of 2000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
