billikenfan05 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I’m going to equate this to the blues bringing in Pat Maroon. No matter how accurate that comparison is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kshoe Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 So is he eligible immediately or at semester? Did he announce his transfer from Nevada mid-season so that is why he didn’t play more than half the year or was it an injury? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3star_recruit Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 If the staff was going to use a scholarship on a grad transfer guard, I'm glad they chose Lewis. He wanted to come home and and understands how to play off the ball. Can impact the game as a three point specialist even in limited minutes. If he's not a grad transfer I don't understand the pickup. Westy03 and TheChosenOne 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DeSmetBilliken Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 It’s an interesting deal. Good player, but I have no idea what his eligibility situation is. He didn’t finish his sitting out time at Nevada, so can he get out of sitting out any more time on account of Musselman leaving? Is there a chance he graduates early and counts as a grad transfer? Other players have announced they were entering the transfer portal, but he didn’t. Maybe he is a grad transfer. Anyway, maybe it’s a partial righting of one if the basketball doofus’s numerous screw-ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

757billiken Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This is great news! No more pitbull around here? We need shooters to space the floor for French. Lewis Jimerson, potentially Perkins and Fred. More shooters the better. Quick release from deep. CBFan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billikenfan05 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This is more of Travis playing the long game with St Louis recruiting. You bring mike Lewis home and you further align yourself with Jayson Tatum and the St Louis community. Staying home to play Billiken basketball is now a first thought for local talent instead of a second choice. Billnation08, dlarry, CBFan and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GoSluBills Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 He hit 89 three’s his sophomore year and a shade under 37%. I’ll certainly take that. Hopefully he can play right away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WVBilliken Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 So looks like he played two and a half seasons at Duquesne. So seems he starts playing second semester next year and has a year and a half eligibility???? Ready for conference play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He can play second semester and use the rest of his eligibilty or sit out the year and play all of 2020. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kmbilliken Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 If Smith got a waiver to play right away at Missouri, he should get one too. He has been through two coaching changes. Smith had none. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Mike Lewis can get a waiver after a coaching change. It’s textbook waiver. However he would rather play conference then play a year instead of play a year then be done next year December Quote Link to post Share on other sites
