Happy for Baker and shocked they did not keep Fred. These two play great together. This I do know. Fred will take this as pure motivation and not let it get to him but rather plow forward in his quest to reach his goals. Winners like Fred also have setbacks but these only help them strive all the more to win all the more. Another player we know wearing #23 got cut from a team when he was younger but that did not stop him in the big picture but rather motivated him. Likewise, FVV will turn this into a positive and come out swinging. That is what winners do and Fred is and will always be a proven winner.

I am very disappointed for Fred but very happy for Ron!
In hindsight, I guess it was way too much to expect 2 out of 12 players being from the same team. It would have been totally awesome though.Comment

Disappointed for Fred but I'm going to take a slightly different viewpoint on this, although I know I'm really just trying to make myself feel better. We need Fred at 100% this season. His BBIQ and understanding of 3G's playbook make him indispensable for this title run we're going on this year. I know he would have benefited from the international experience he would have picked up this summer but I was a bit worried about injury.
Now, as others have pointed out, he's got another chip on his shoulder. Jeez, these people just don't learn, do they?
Congratulations and good luck to Ron, at least they got one part of the roster right!Comment

Couldn't have said it better myself. In fact I had a dream Fred made the team and broke his foot, the same night after Alex Gordon fell into a heap.Originally posted by Bluzrover View Post
I am looking forward to watching Ron-great exposure for he and the school. Dog days of summer not too bad with the Royals and the Pan Am Games.Comment

The other positive spin is that we get Fred back to spend more time getting our newbies ready for the season. The more time they can spend with Fred, the better off we'll be.Comment

Oh yeah, that's exactly what worries me. Don't get me wrong, I don't want anything to happen to Ron either, but, well, better left unsaid.Originally posted by shoxlax View Post
And yes, I like the idea of Fred staying "home" to school the youngsters, that's huge as well.Comment

Motivation? More motivation? Still not getting the respect he deserves. Best PG on that team and left off. He's going to show just how great he is this year.Comment

NO WAY Maryland's PG is better than ours. He will get schooled. I kinda have to agree with this.Originally posted by another shocker View Post
My only hope is that Ron will get some time at PG and show them how it's done.Comment

You guys look at this as a negative...I look at it as adding fuel to a burning fire after a nuclear bomb...Not a good idea...Fred will be so motivated to prove the haters wrong...I pity those that have to face him this upcoming seasonComment
