Is Royston solid with the Badgers
St. Paul (Minn.) Cretin-Derham defensive back Kim Royston committed to Wisconsin near the end of June. That was before Barry Alvarez announced this would be his last season as the Badgers' head coach. Has anything changed for Royston?
"When coach Alvarez resigned it bother me a little," Royston said. "But I went down there last week and talked to coach Bielema. He said my first year will be his first year too. He'll be there the next four or five years with me.

Royston also had scholarship offers from Kansas, Indiana, and Iowa State.
