CBS: Royce to NBA

**ianoconnor** · 03-21-2012, 08:36 AM

Good luck, Royce. You'll be missed. Cyclone Nation will always have your back.

Let's go get Pelle!

**KFitzy87** · 03-21-2012, 08:37 AM

I think a lot of my excitement now will hinge on if we bring in Lockett or Pelle....

**Clonefan32** · 03-21-2012, 08:38 AM

A sign of progress in terms of the optimism in this fan base? No Iowa State v. World nut kick photo...yet. I'm proud of us.

We need Pelle a lot more than Lockett with Royce leaving, but even if we get no one, we'll still have a pretty decent squad that competes in the conference and likely makes the tourney.

We'll play a completely different style of ball, that's for sure.

I just told my 8 year old, he is pretty sad.

Hard to be upset about this one. The guy has to do what's best for him, and I think everyoine genuinely likes and respects Royce after the way he's represented this program and breathed some life back into it.

Thanks for all you've done for ISU and the Cyclone fans. You more than met my expectations and you don't owe us anything. You'll always be a Cyclone.

**Cyclonepride** · 03-21-2012, 08:40 AM

I really wish only the best for Royce and his family. He is such a unique, nice and personable individual, and he has brought nothing but good things to this team and this program. Very sad not to be able to see him again in a Cyclone uniform.

I really, really hope that he goes high enough to get guaranteed money.

You mean to tell me if Brackins left after his sophomore year there wouldn't have been rampant ISU/World nutshot photos? I honestly think its a great sign that we can lose a guy the caliber of Royce, respect his decision, and trust our coaches to find a suitable replacement. It is great to have optimism in the program.

A little bummed but good luck to Royce! I hope he has a great NBA career.

**MLawrence** · 03-21-2012, 08:42 AM

Tough pill to swallow, but Royce has to do what's best for Royce and if that means going early to the NBA, I wish him great success.

Loved Royce as a Clone. Will be following him in the NBA with as much interest as I have any former player. I am extremely hopeful for him and I will be a fan of him for life. Just a super interesting dude and he helped put ISU back on the map.

Regardless I love the way our roster is shaping up with or without any other signings.

**RayShimley** · 03-21-2012, 08:44 AM

Good luck Royce, wish we could've had you for one more year, but we understand!! Pumped to be able to look forward to watching the draft this year. Hope he makes it into the lottery!
