Hello and....Good-bye
What the fans don't see because it often doesn't make the headlines. Sure, the draftees receive the press and all of the excitement that goes with the new additions. If you are a player cut from your team, it is devastating. Dreams you've had as a kid? This is the reminder that they don't all come true. Some will try and pick up with another club (doubtful), while others will go to school or get a job back home. Even the players that survived the cut, feel the impact of the empty locker next to ours, soon to be filled with a fresh face who can't imagine ever being one that is cut from the team. Even Olivier, they are paying him to not play as he had a contract.
But, we all move on. We know it's a business and we are expected to act accordingly. We'll get the promotions within the next 12 hours I'm told. Pro Ball.....it's a roller coaster.
