I've seen "duck nachos" pop up around #mubb twitter the past few weeks - what does it mean?

Justin has a deal with a bar, and one of their products are duck nachos.

Those are OK but manatee nachos are the bomb!

Comet cafe (RIP) had duck fries that were pretty incredible.

Justin Lewis has an NIL deal with Uncle Buck's, a bar and grill right around the corner from the Fiserv. While he has his own signature burger there, they also have duck nachos on the menu, so the quick pivot for Lewis once his NIL pics started popping up was that he was advertising for duck nachos.

Duck fat fries are probably the most delicious side that man has ever created.

Indeed, still one of my favorite things I've ever eaten.

Though the warm German potato salad from Brat Stop in Kenosha is certainly up there amongst best sides as well.

Comet is gone???

Manatee is high in fat and cholesterol.

Next to farm-raised gator, it's a Florida favorite

It was. Some bad ownership/COVID killed it in July 2020.

Restaurant was reacquired by former owners and they plan on opening this spring I believe.

The fact that this has gone on for 2 pages without any consideration of NIL is pretty surprising. I am not saying Justin is going to make a ton of $$ off of possible NIL deals but he could make some $$$ while continuing to work on his game. Thats definitely a new wrinkle in this. Those suggesting hes going to transfer after he stuck out a coaching change I think are delusional. Those saying all top 40 picks should leave....how many guys outside of the first round even outside of the lottery actually stick in the NBA?? I would guess a small percentage.

It comes down to Justin and no one has any idea-Were gonna go through the usual BS of trying to interpret a 20 year olds IG posts...Most logical thing is to declare, get feedback, and then make a decision from there. We are no where close to an answer on this barring Justin really loving MU and Shaka and letting us all know hes staying (which I highly doubt happens)

In the 6th comment of this thread, I wrote this:

Does anybody here know Justin Lewis?

How has he liked his Marquette experience overall? Does he value learning in a college environment? Does he love his coaches and teammates? Are he and his family in good shape financially? Has he explored if he can earn real money in NIL next year? Is he simply ready for a change? Is he driven to want to make Marquette great next season? Is getting a degree, whether in the next few years or eventually, important to him? Do his family, friends and others he trusts to give him advice think he should stay or go? Has anybody connected with the NBA told him or his advisers what they think his prospects are? What has Shaka said to him about the subject in their conversations?

So yes, NIL was mentioned in this thread. Also, many of us have discussed Justin's NIL prospects in other threads.

I like to think that Justin and his advisers will consider NIL and all kinds of other things before making their decision. We still have no answers to any of the questions I asked in my earlier comment, so we're all just speculating. But hey, what's a fan board for, anyway?

Yup, it will matter for the fringe draft guys. Though this year it might help a little more than other years. If a prospect is looking at fringe-NBA to overseas as his options, do you really want to go to Europe when there's a war going on? With Maurice Creek's struggle to get out of Ukraine, Britney Griner being locked up in Russia, and the potential for the war to spread to other countries, an extra year in college might look a little more appealing than it has in years past.

I don't know if I agree with this. Save for CSKA Moscow and Zenit. Most of the high level Euro ball is outside of Russia.

Creek's story is remarkable and frightening but he's a journeyman who never played very high level basketball.

For the guys who are fringe NBA right now, I don't think the situation in Ukraine suddenly makes playing in France, Spain, Italy, Greece, or Germany a monumental concern.  I think it complicates things for guys like Greg Elliott who will play professionally if they so wish, but not amongst the top tier, cause the leagues in Eastern Europe could be of some concern.

I think a lot of guys that think they are close to the league end up latching on where they can, and the longer this goes on the more countries that could get involved.

Having a war a country or two away, when countries are the size of states, is likely less appealing than not having a war relatively close.

A totally unacceptable and inexcusable conversation.

Agreed.  Need to save it for tasty creatures like Pangolins and lemurs

Not funny and extremely offensive.

Dude, stop eating at the Brat Stop, please.

All this time, I've been sleeping on the duck nachos and didn't even know it. Apparently even Charlie Pierce is more insta-savvy than I am.

42. Never heard of this guy, but it looks like from his write up, he doesn't talk to any teams.
