I've always wondered how Royce would have done in the NBA if he had spent one more year here, under the support & guidance of the basketball coaching staff. Would he have learned how to manage his phobia(s) better; matured enough to recognize self-destructive behavior (impulsive, angry tweets...badmouthing employers to the press...refusing to attend practices, etc)? Would have have had more time to prepare himself for the transition to highly paid athlete with no way to know who his real friends are vs who just wants something from him?
Eh...I'm waxing philosophical on a Monday morning. I will happily cheer for him if he is recognized at the game...as others have said, he was an excellent representative of ISU while here.
