***OFFICIAL Thanks For Everything Royce Thread***

[CyBer]

Thanks big man, you are going to be great in the NBA! Excited for you! GO CYCLONES!

[VeloClone]

Thanks, Royce.

I was wrong about you when I was skeptical about taking you as a recruit. You not only proved my wrong, but you made me a huge fan of yours. Now go to the NBA and prove me wrong again. I hope you make it and make all of your NBA and life outside of BB dreams come true!

Every Cyclone owes you a big thanks for the terrific season.

Thanks for everything, big man! You were a huge part of putting the program back on the map. Do great things at the next level.

+1. He gave us all he had while he was here. That's all you can ask of anybody that wears the uniform. Thanks for everything Royce! Best of luck in all your future endeavors. You'll always be a Cyclone.

Thanks big man, you are going to be great in the NBA! Excited for you! GO CYCLONES!

Hugely (and selfishly) bummed today. RW was a rare talent and perhaps an even more rare individual, and I was hoping we'd have him for one more year.

Thanks Royce, we're all rooting for you.

Royce may not go down as one of the best cyclones in terms of statistics, but his contributions off the court will make him one of the greatest in my book.

I am sad to see him go, but happy for him at the same time. Thank you Royce and best of luck in the NBA.

So impressed with this young man : the way he handled EVERY press conference, interview, media question, news feature, and his demeanor on and off the court. And, oh yeah, the kid can ball BIGTIME!! Thanks Royce - you're ready to roll on to the NBA stage!! Wish you the best!

[CycloneErik]

Probably the most uniquely talented guy I've gotten to see as a Cyclone.
I'm looking forward to watching him in the NBA, and I haven't really been a consistent NBA guy for years and years.

I wasn't sure at first with the whole transfer thing, but Royce really opened my eyes to the fact that it's not really all bad. So often it's just people in the wrong situation for them.

Thanks for putting us back on the map, big man! I'm glad that we could help put you on the map, too! Everybody won in this deal.

Royce - thanks! thanks! thanks!

You are a key reason that Iowa State basketball is relevant again.

I wish I'd be seeing your jersey retired and hanging in Hilton. You deserve it.

I hope all goes very successfully for you in the NBA. I can't wait to continue watching you in action.

I posted a column on my site that is a bit of an homage to Royce.

Royce had been at Iowa State for 2 years, not just one. It was too bad he couldn't have played on the court the first year. But considering the way this past season transpired & that he will go in the 1st round, I don't know if it could end any better. It's an honor to have him be a Cyclone.

Great job once again, Kirk.

[ISUKyro]

THANKS YOU!
That was one hell of a year and you were a major part of it. I've very bummed that you are heading for the NBA - but I can't blame you one bit for trying out the big time.

[Let's Go State]

Yep. Truly a special year. Thanks Royce!

Land of lions!

[Psyclone Brian]

Thanx Royce for everything! This isn't the end just the beginning!
Once a Cyclone, ALWAYS a Cyclone! Here's a little sample of what I mean...
You may have heard of a guy who played for us just a short while ago, Rashon Clark? Well, he and his newly wed needed some big time votes to win a trip to go on a newly wed honeymoon. Cyclone Nation never hesitated... WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN, no matter what. Let's just say he won that contest in a landslide, (1 year ago to be exact) Anytime you need us my friend... we are always here for you!!!! Good luck in the NBA and represent us well! :o)
