Justin Lewis was waived by the Bulls.
-
Too bad but maybe he’ll land at the Capital City affiliate closer to his Baltimore home.
First read this news on Dodds’ board, where he proceeded to reply “Great to hear.” Moron

To be fair, on the Dodds' board, the new news about being waived was posted in a thread starting tight the link to an article saying that Justin was finally healthy and playing with a two-way contract. The link about the waiver was just two messages below that original article. I wouldn't use that example to demonstrate that Dodds can be moronic.

The thread:
1. Oct. 8 Dodds post link to article saying Lewis is healthy.
2. Oct. 9 First response by Xpertfan "Great to hear he is recovered..."
3. Dec. 16 Second response (first response in over 2 months) by Markedman " Justin Lewis is being waived..."
4. Very next post (also Dec 16) Dodds "Great to hear."

That's sad news. Lewis should have stayed at Marquette.

If nil was what it would become maybe he would've? Can't imagine his duck nachos campaign had him making the big bucks back then. Gotta wonder if Omax (and jop) stay if Lewis is back though and how that effects us last year and subsequently this one.

MU would not have been nearly as successful on either end of the floor.

Nearly?? So what like drastically worse on offense and D? yeah gonna disagree on that.

he might have provided the rebounding we could use, but would have been a defensive liability
hard to say how shaka would have "tolerated" this kind of player he would have inherited of course. me thinks shaka would have had to have that "talk" with justin

Justin played for Shaka. Shaka sang his praises. I have never heard from a reliable source that Justin had attitude issues.

Yeah, never heard about any attitude issues either. Justin was a bigger, stronger version of Joplin (though not nearly the shooter). We sure could have used him both this year and last year on the boards. Problem was lack of quickness on D and a penchant to have the ball stop when it came to him. IMO OMax was a much better fit in Shaka’s system
-
Agreed. But a player from a previous coach not being a perfect fit in a new system does not equal a bad attitude. Lewis and Morsell both stopped the ball that first year. I still appreciate what they brought.
-
Well if the ball stopped with Lewis,....it's totally stuck when Jop has it.....not even close.
-
I’m curious why anyone bothers with the Dodds board.

I guess you blacked out the entire 2021-22 season and missed Shaka "tolerating" Lewis just fine -- especially when Justin was a huge factor in numerous victories.
Indeed, Shaka benched Morsell and Kolek in games that year; how did he "tolerate" them?
-

Mods are probably better
-
Justin was a ball stopper. The offense is so good because the ball hardly sticks to anyone.
And his defense is what is keeping him from an NBA roster right now.
Talented guy. Good kid. Just not a great fit for how Shaka wants to play.

LOL Joplin was a horrible defender last year and he played ~20 mpg. I think Shaka would have tolerated Lewis's significantly better overall game just fine

Joplin is still a horrible defender
-
Justin > Jop
No one is arguing that point. But Jop's outside shooting was huge for MU, particularly in league play and the BET. If Justin's here, he doesn't get those minutes. There was no way Shaka was taking OMax off the floor with how valuable he was on the defensive end.
I liken it to when Blankson transferred before the '03 season. He was a better player than Townsend or Novak. But those two ended up giving that team the floor spacing they needed.
Anyway, fun discussion. Hope that Justin lands in a good spot. And that we don't get called for 40 fouls tonight.

Justin beat the Badgers.

Won’t share anything too personal or anything here, but I ran into JLew at a bar last winter and had a few drinks and talked for quite awhile. We had some mutual friends, and I was out with another MU alum. Justin was fired up to hear we went to marquette. He LOVES marquette. Repeatedly said how much of a family everything about marquette is, from top to bottom. He said the decision to stay/leave was absolutely brutal. And he was really emotional about how it turned out with the injury. He was fired up about the season we were having at that point and said he was watching pretty much every game. Was still really close to most of the guys and said he texted with some of them every day. Particularly called out TK and Darryl as great friends, along with the other guys he overlapped with (OMax, jop, Oso, Stevie, etc) as all being great dudes.
He absolutely raved about Shaka. Didn’t have too much to say about Woj, said that he was ok. But that Shaka in comparison was just a whole other level. He said Shaka still texts him every single day. Same with Todd smith, about his recovery. Shaka told Justin to take his time and that no matter what, he wouldn’t recruit over him. He’d save that spot for him no matter what, and fully supported whatever decision Justin made. He appreciated that so much, and said that’s the typa loyalty Shaka has with his guys. (This was the same case for OMax this past offseason).
Justin’s a really great dude. Cheering hard for him in his next opportunity.
-
I believe Justin didn’t turn 21 until April 12 of this year, so the post above is very concerning.

Wouldn’t recruit over him? Don’t tell some scoopers that…..always looking at that transfer portal.

As a former college bouncer I'd attest that if a 6-7 ripped guy who's clearly a pro athlete comes up, I'm glancing at his ID for my manager's security cameras. No chance I'm saying "yeah you can't come in here".

Unless he was in WI with his legal guardian.

all i said was- justin had some issues playing defense...no?
shaka would have "that talk" with justin...right?
ok, justin was a bright light for us and loved the guy-my bad i left out the finish-
due to the mutual respect they have for each other, justin would've listened to shaka and become a defensive man child
and reeeko-go suck it!!

That’s great to hear. Really rooting for JLew.

I’m not an NBA agent, but couldn’t this mean Justin was waived by the “Big Bulls” from his two-way contract but could then be “signed” by the Windy City Bulls on a G League only contract?
Hope Justin finds his way. Tough injury for a really good young player.

Oh cmon. This comment from anyone who went to Miller Brewing U, oops, Marquette?
One thinks the Marquette application asks, "Has beer ever touched your lips?" If a prospective student answers that they're a beer virgin, then Marquette politely asks them to attend college elsewhere, say, Bob Jones University or Liberty University.
Perhaps this is the reason why Marquette has such a high acceptance rate!

I live in SLC currently. Can confirm TAMU is also a knower of cities.
I’ll have to snag some $1 tix for a G League game soon.

Strange drinking laws though. Standing and drinking in a bar? No way Jose. Want more than 5% alcohol in a beer, gotta get a can, no decadent on tap higher alcohol beer.
But yeah, we were there last spring. Surprisingly good food, drink, nightlife options. And their aquarium is first rate too.

Haha I hear you there. Definitely some things I miss about nightlife elsewhere, but laws have relaxed/improved just about every year I have lived here. I happily trade some goofy drinking laws for unbeatable access to the mountains.
Lots of fun conversations with locals about MU connections like Majerus, Carlino, Jayce Johnson, Brendan Bailey in the past. I'd love to see home and homes with Utah or BYU in the future.
-
Yes to Utah, no thanks to BYU. I still have my old Port O' Call membership card, great SLC institution that should never have been torn down.

You’re not allowed to stand in the bars? WTF

Isn't that the whole point to go to a bar in the first place?

I think that is more for restaurants that have liquor licenses. Not really an issue at actual bars.
For instance, my first year here I was at a fine dining restaurant and we wanted to enjoy a few cocktails before dinner. They had a small bar, which happened to be full at the time so we intended to order our drinks and stand in the small area behind the bar until we were seated. No dice.

And no matter your age, yes, they want to see your ID. Remember the first time I visited my son after he moved there, they carded my son, and I jokingly said , “Do you want to see mine to?” They did. They scan all of them.
They also have meters on all hard liquor bottle in bars that measure out the shots.
