He also has a family. I really thought before the tourney, he'd be back, but since these last two, he's shown he's the real deal.

I'm just not sure the last two games puts him into sure lottery pick consideration. This draft is stacked.

If he is a late first or early second type I think the best for his family is one more year.

If he returns, we win the Big XII next year.

This is a fair point. If he really takes a long picture approach, he could make himself even more money.

I really think its 60% going pro, 40% stays.

He is smart and knows he could get paid more if he develops other aspects of his game but he has really came on as of late and may draw alot of attention....

Agree. He might earn more if he waits, but if he thinks he's got a check to cash now it's going to be hard to turn down. Takes a lot of discipline to say no to more money than you've ever had.

I was saying to my buddy, take all of what Royce is doing in we may lose him. If we lose the game we lose, but I want Royce to but that twig ***** Davis to shame, and he did.

Slammed in his face multiple times and loved every minute of it.

With how UK was making every shot imaginable tonight I dont think there is any team in the past decade that could have beaten them....

completely agree. some people here must only watch ISU. He isn't going anywhere.

In some ways, he is a little like Charles. Charles at 6-6 played in the middle of the timber and did fine. He used his big buttocks to keep players off his backside.

Such a tough one, as he probably is a late 1st if he goes now. If he stays, he has a great chance to be the NPOY and if he develops a better mid range game, he is able to be a much higher pick.

Agreed. With all the players who didn't turn pro last year because of the lockout, it's going to be a stacked draft.

Personally, I think he stays, but only Royce knows for sure.

I watch alot of CBB, and Royce gets ALOT of media attention from everywhere...

Guys who get alot of media attention= not good for chances returning.

Yes, I know Royce could work on alot, and not to be a debbie downer. But just how much better will we be next year??

I think we were pretty damn good this year but you can not discredit the contributions of our seniors and the factors they had on our wins this year... and right now looking to next season say we will be sooo much better
