Not just Scoop.   I think it is a lingering COVID symptom

By the looks of a mid-first contract versus a mid-second from last year's draft, Justin could double to triple the size of his initial contract by waiting a year and moving up into the 1st round.

Players picked in the 40ish range averaged $1.2 to $1.5 million per year for their initial contract. Players 15 to 20 made between $3 and $4 million/year.

True, but the second contract is where guys make the big money. He would get to it a year sooner (if he does well). Would more than make up the difference.

Justin went on Instagram Live just now and people in the comments were asking him if he was coming back to Marquette.  He said yes.

Then Marquette commit Chase Ross was in the comments asking if he was going to run it back and he responded specifically to Chase saying yes.

Was he messing around or serious?

Looked like he was at a restaurant with Kolek.  I guess he could have been just saying things but he said it.

Weird thing to say, because he probably should still enter the draft process. But it has been trending this way after the last regular season game. It went from 1% to 10% to a 50%.

Ps. If he rescinds this, I will not be mad at all.

Selfishly want him back as much as to help Marquette as much as seeing scoopers say he's lazy and selfish

Honestly we would be better without him....

Despite the fact that Lewis is more talented than any recruit or transfer Shaka could possibly bring in for the 2022-23 season, it's sad that there are Scoopers who actually wish he'd leave. We'd have won about 8 games without him last season.

Obviously, he wouldn't stay if Shaka didn't support him fully, so a vote against Justin is a vote against Shaka, too.

[PGsHeroes32]

I'll believe it when officially announced. And would still be shocked if he doesnt at least test the waters.

But ive long said him leaving is far from a done deal. And it isnt just seeing something like this.

He made no movement last year portal or draft eval.

He has taken his time since our season ended this year.

He had that line during the season about wanting to leave a "Wade, Butler, Crowder type legacy". That answer was completely unprovoked.

Whether he stays or goes. Its clearly never been an auto leave situation for him.

No MU fan wants him gone

Awesome news!
Bring on a serviceable big and 2022-23 has great promise!

No MU fan wants him gone

Maybe one. Or maybe he's just being edgy.

Doc Dribble has said it several times, and at least a couple others have echoed it.

5% is 100% too many.

No MU fan wants him gone

That's probably true. Doc cheered against Marquette regularly for years, celebrating recruiting misses with gusto. A few others cheered losses.

I'll believe it when officially announced.

Unless that was a deep fake live hack of Justin's Instagram account, there is literally no more official source than Justin himself.

Could he change his mind? Yes. Can it possibly get more official than Justin saying "I'm staying at MU." No.

I mean an yeah if you want to be technical it can get more official. Since as you clearly stated, there is nothing binding to him casually saying it on instgram live to random fans.

As I clearly stated, I have long had the belief theres a good chance he stays(even leaned that way for a long while) which has only been heightened by what I know about current recruiting.

Odd comment for you to try and highlight and disect though. Especially if we want to get into a game of technicalities.

Haha he was messing around.  Regardless of what he ends up doing he should enter the draft to at least see.

[DoctorV]

If Justin returns to Marquette he will win BE POY, assuming health.

He will be hungrier, he will be even more driven and Shaka will unleash him.

I would expect averages near 21&9, and I would expect that he moves into the top 20 in the draft after Coach Shaka and Marquette finish in the top 3 in the BE and either win the BET or make the Sweet 16.

There has been a lot said in if he should go or not, but I haven't commented either way.
My stance is that he shouldn't go to the draft this season, because if the above happens- which again I think is very possible/probable assuming health- Justin will move into the top 20 in the following years draft, which he would not be in this years.
