Royce White was an incredible high school talent, but he’s taking himself way too seriously with this video. The Minnesota fan who sent this to us surmises that White is going to probably go the NBDL route instead of transferring, like a normal person would.

Deron Williams is really stepping up his online activity – he’s big on twitter, and now there’s this.

The altercation began around 2 a.m. when one of the apartment’s tenants complained the gathering was too loud. The complainant, a senior at Missouri, was left with a broken nose and an eye injury.

Moriarity called it a “dynamic disturbance,” with at least eight people “trying to break it up, different people trying to get involved.” He said Hanneman and Johnson left the apartment after the dispute but the victim and witnesses gave the police a description of the two players. Their vehicle was pulled over nearby.

Elsewhere around the web, the allegations make the cheerleader – Justin Short – look awful: There was a party at his house, he told the cheerleaders to leave, Johnson (6-foot-1) shoved him, and then Hanneman (5-foot-11) jacked him in the face three times. In addition to the broken nose, Short allegedly suffered a black eye and dislocated shoulder.

Do not mess with Missouri female basketball players.
