Royce was a man against a bunch of boys tonight as Royce played the high schoolers. Royce was very out of shape and it showed especially in the second half where he would walk down the court. Royce is sporting a mohawk but he did show up in his gopher shorts and shoes. FWIW.
During practice Royce had trouble hitting any shots and although he made a couple of spin moves leading to baskets during the game, Joe Coleman and company out played Royce. In my opinion, I would take Joe Coleman over Royce. Coleman can fly and Coleman might have been the leading scorer during this game. Coleman does need to get stronger, but he is a gamer and he was hustling the whole game. His hang time is almost up there with Rodney Williams.
Tomorrows games has most of the incoming gophers freshman playing with Nolan and Iverson in the first game I believe. Start time is 7:00.
