Royce White in Ames today

People say that if he gets into trouble, no big deal, he is gone - low risk. What if he leads some of our younger more impressionable recruits down a bad road as well? Still low risk?

I am still concerned that the program will rue the day that he joined the program if he does. However, if he does come, I desperately hope I am wrong.

That would be one heaping plate of crow I would relish eating...
I think this is the greatest risk. His attitude could hurt team chemistry more than anything. i for one could care less either way. If he comes...great but he should be on a very, very short leash. If he doesn't...oh well
 
Whether we, as fans, want him or not (which I do)its obvious the coaches want him. You dont bring a guy on campus if you do not want him to come to your school. Coach Hoiberg and Otz are in charge of judging all that stuff, we has fans should just be excited that a 5 star type guy is at the very least seriously considering us!
 
That's what I am thinking too. Before, ISU was trying to get him on campus but couldn't. Now, he is here. That is a huge step in the right direction.

It's not as if Royce White hasn't been on campus before, but maybe we couldn't get him on campus recently. Three years ago when we played Iowa in FB in Ames (Chizik's first of 5 wins), there was a basketball scrimmage in which Royce, HB, Justin Hamilton and Clint Mann all played. So I know he's been on campus before and should be familiar with Ames.
 
That was Mike Taylor I believe and not Mr. Pratt.

Oh no, that was definitely Pratt. I was there the year he got pulled over for DUI and ended up getting out of it with the whole 'I had just taken NyQuil' argument.
 
I'll just say this. There's gotta be something more to it (and no, not something 'shady'), because what I've been told, and I truly trust me sources, is that these schools are fighting for him because he'll be able to play at some point next season.


if there is potential for him to play this season....that would be huge for this team. Freddy...the ames boy will whip him into shape and turn his "past" around. sign him
 
I think where ever this kid ends up, he will be gone with in a year. The kid's just a thug, he won't last at any college.

I would bet there are very few teams willing to take a chance on him. Good luck though. If he does come to ISU, the biggest challenge could be to keep him eligible for any length of time
yeah cause we know he is a dumb kid? lol give him a break how about you dont judge unless it happens okay...im tired of this ****

Kicked out of high school for academic misconduct, arrested for stealing a laptop from the dorms, arrested for shoplifting and assault at the mall, kept away from the team by Tubby Smith, dropped out of school because he "can't trust the campus police" ...yeah I'm gonna go ahead and judge him.

Read below. I'm pretty sure he isn't smart.
