Is Royce White quitting? Again?
This seems odd, but that has become par for the course in this bizarre series of events.

dude you cockblocked Felix! Anyways this sucks, I was really looking forward to seeing him play at some point.
I'm feverished, or the way you want to spell it
Didn't MM report this?
I think we should wait until a real journalist comments on it.
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

His word is his bond
he said it so I’m sure there is no changing his mind now.
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
I'm about ready to say get rid of this drama queen.
If he’s looking for sympathy he sure as hell ain’t gettin’ it from me.

It's not his fault he's being charged with a load of crap by an overzealous prosecutor.
Trespassing for entering someone’s dorm? How many times would all of us been charged with that when we were in college?

I agree with the trespassing B.S., but he brought most of this upon himself.
And not feeling safe anymore on campus?
Sorry, but in my mind he’s got ‘Attention Whore’ written all over him. The guy’s got to stay quiet and ride out this sh*tstorm.

100% agreed PJS, but...
he should keep his mouth shut and realize what’s at stake for him… Sounds like he had a good start to school, so he could continue that, play later this year or next year, and rebuild his reputation, which right now is adding the quitter label in addition to the criminal label.
I’m still waiting for the list of other people that night that have been charged with the same trespassing charges… Funny, I haven’t seen it. Prosecutor needs to be reprimanded or fired over this one.
White and Publicity
It seems to me that White actually hates the spotlight and that he’s been thrust out there a few times because he’s either made a mistake or he’s done something out of frustration (his Youtube videos).
I can’t blame his legal team at all for passing the blame onto an overzealous prosecutor. And we don’t know what he really means when he said he doesn’t feel safe. It could be a PR move to place the blame on the UofM if he indeed is leaving to transfer or go overseas. Or he could honeslty feel like some of the powers that be are out gunning for him to make a name for themselves. Both are possible, and if it’s the former I agree with those telling him to shut up. If it’s the latter, I’d like to know what’s really going on.

of course we'll never know what's really going on because our tremendous beat writers don't care to create sources other than the team spokesman.
Also, when was the last time the MSM updated us on the Mbakwe case?

White & Publicity
If you’re a prized basketball recruit at a major University and you make multiple YouTube, you’re just asking for more publicity. While his situation brings a lot of pressure (both from people on campus and the media in general), he brought most of it upon himself and I struggle to feel sorry for him. If he hadn’t tried shoplifting from Macy’s and ending up punching the security guard, none of this attention would be on him. He needs to learn that his actions have repercussions and while it’s easy to blame others for the pressure on him, most of them are his own fault.
That being said, the trespassing charges are bullshit. It’s ridiculous that someone could actually get charged for going room to room in the dorms, but as you said, that’s a result of the prosecutor being out to get him.
It’s unlikely, but maybe the recent campus shooting spooked White out with all the attention he’s had lately. I seriously doubt this is the issue, but you never know..
Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Kill, maim, pillage, burn! Eat babies! Badger babies!
