Isaiah Roby has always been his own biggest critic. His desire to be the best – basketball player, teammate, person – has always driven him to believe he can do more to make that happen.
It has led him to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, where the 6-foot-8 freshman is already playing a key role off the bench for the young Big Ten team. And it has also led to Huskers coach Tim Miles trying to ease the pressure Roby puts on himself.
“Isaiah is his own worst critic, and I want him to be his own best advocate and to look out for himself,” Miles said after Nebraska’s 81-70 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes last Sunday afternoon in Iowa City. “I recently gave him a book by James Allen, ‘As You Think, So Shall You Be.’ It’s just an old 1400s philosophical book about how we train our minds, what we think about – and I think that as he grows into more of an advocate than a critic, it’s just going to be great for him, and great for us.
“I’m just so thrilled to have him in our program.”
But Miles sees big things for Roby, and many of them were on display last weekend at Carver-Hawkeye Arena......
