His heart isn't in bball anymore. I wish him the best in whatever he does. One thing is for sure, he is one of the best players to come out of ISU (top3).

Thanks for the link and just watched. So many thoughts after watching and listening to him. It's a bit flabbergasting and makes me sad but he seems so upbeat about his future. I'm not sure he quite understands the big picture. Someday he will look back and he'll wish he would of bucked up and played. He's throwing away millions of $$ but if he's happy then gosh golly molly I'm happy and support him.

Ever think that he just doesn't like basketball? That he doesn't care if he's throwing away millions? Royce is a lot smarter than you think. Sure he's done some stupid ****. Anyone that says they haven't done anything stupid before lives a sheltered life. He did a lot more good for Iowa State than bad. What I find sad is a lot would disagree with that.

He stays one more year and ISU has a legit shot at a national title. Legit shot. Bummer...I love Royce but man, what could have been.

This seems to be the case. Heck, he "retired" from basketball before playing for Minnesota. He just isn't that passionate about it. Most people try to avoid things in life they don't enjoy if they have the means to. Why should Royce be any different if he thinks he has other things going for him?

I am disappointed that Royce hasn't made it in the NBA, but I sure as heck enjoyed watching him play at Iowa State. He did nothing to disappoint me while at Iowa State, so I'll wish him nothing but the best.

It was fun to watch him tonight. He was really cheering for the team. And the people that approached him....a lot of them were older, which was kind of interesting. President Leath and his wife spent some time talking to him as well.

Sorry Royce, but even an old man like me knows that sweater you had on tonight was not a good look.


That sweater looked like a bad Christmas present, but he had to wear it because it was from his grandmother.

Glad he's back to catch a game. I would love it if more former players could come back too.

Generally people get added to my ignore list because they act like jackarses. It was interesting how many on my ignore list posted in this thread, and when I checked in on a few posts just to make sure I wasn't over-reacting...yep, still jackarses.

Dunno if he lost his love of bb... Someone in the know once told me "don't ever get good at something you hate".

It's always been all about what Royce White wants. I'm happy NBA teams have finally started telling him to F off. He's kind of like the star athlete from every high school that talks about the glory days non stop but fails out of college for boozing too much. Iowa State was Royce Whites high school, which is cool for us but eventually we lose credibility because he decides to pursue a living telling people about a disease he refuses to accept treatment for.

This whole post is problematic, but regarding the bolded part: WUUUUUUUUUT? I've been as disappointed as anyone since Royce has left ISU, but the one thing he has done for basically his whole life since childhood is to try to treat his disease.

He doesn't come off as a person who has a good grasp on their mental illness.
