At what point do you think he may come back? 10th round?

One way or the other he has got to be feeling pretty disrespected. Baseball draft is weird.

20th round.

He won't be safe if he gets picked at all. A team that will take him at this point will have some extra money available.

And at this point, rounds 11-20 are more dangerous than rounds 8-10.

He is not coming back. Absolutely no reason to at all.

That is a very fair point. He maybe drafted in 10-20 rounds but get more money due to money available.

You cant strike out that much, there wasnt much interest last years draft and doesnt seem to be any this year.

This is probably true, but

This is very far from true.

He’s not coming back. He will take an UDFA contract before coming back to LSU. He’s won two nattys and had a great college career. It’s time for him to go be a pro

Making more at LSU is better than the AAA road grind for peanuts.

He wouldn't make more at LSU than he would in AAA, and they fly in AAA.

Many players in his situation won’t get selected unless they can agree on terms prior to being selected. And the longer the draft goes on, the less leverage he has.

Jones is a two time champ and is 3rd all time in HRs at LSU. He also came up big and at big times and is legitimately a program great.

And you still feel the need to make shite up to shite on him.

frick off.

Didn’t he make something like $200k this year?

Seems he’s already a pro and it’s just a matter of bidding now.

I love the big snugly bear! I hope he one day becomes a pro and joins the long list of Louisianamals to tear it up in the big leagues! But i sure would love for him to come back and truly be one of the program greats! He could finish his career 1 in hr runs and lead his team to a 3rd title!

He would have been. More than likely at a certain point he told teams not to bother because he still had a year to play and maintain leverage.
