Bryce Jordan - is he coming back?

The Jordan’s were good for our program, especially the year Bryce got hurt. But to be honest, we don’t need him. We have veteran leadership returning to campus, no room for him in the outfield, he was a terrible catcher, maybe 1st base, but that’s a long shot as well? I just don’t see him earning quality playing time

Only LSU fans could wish an All-SEC player would be gone, because "we don't need him."

I don't want him gone but he definitely isn't guaranteed to be a regular player for us next year. The guy has been all LSU from day one. I hope he sticks around if that's what he wants to do.

IF Bryce Jordan wants to come back he will be back.

He won't transfer or be a roster casualty.
Paul loves the Jordan's and I am sure there is a spot for him on the team next year IF he wants it.

I sure hope he comes back, he has had some big hits and been a really good leader.

The only thing you can say about LSU baseball is that the best 9 hitters will end up being the starters. You are fooling yourself in trying to say that it will be tough to find playing time. Every year I can remember, someone has come out of nowhere to get significant playing time because they can hit, Bain this year, Watson and Coomes the year before that, 2 years ago Kramer hit better than anyone thought him capable off, 3 years ago you had Foster and Sciambra both coming off of poor junior years to both be starter and valuable offensive players.

The point is, no position is a lock. We have had players slump from previous years, other players improve dramatically from one year to the other, some unheralded recruits come in and out perform a much higher rated prospect, highly rated players take a while before becoming productive and some of them never became productive player.

Bryce is certainly capable of coming in and batting well over 300 with double digit home runs. If he does, he would be our DH or first baseman.

I think it boils down to what Bryce wants to do. He’s already got his degree, his brother’s career is over, and he more than likely doesn’t have a future in pro ball.

Option 1 - one last year to play the game he loves and has played for basically his entire life. No guarantees of playing time, but definitely a leader of the team.
Option 2 - hang up the cleats and move on to the next chapter in his life.

I think Bryce has always had more upside than his brother Beau at the plate (and Beau had a pretty nice season at the plate this year), but the injuries have just been really killing him.

I think he has a place on the team if he comes back, maybe not as a starter (DH potentially), but could definitely have a role on the team.

Bryce definitely has a scholarship and a roster spot if he wants it. He's given too much to this program to have his spot taken right before his final year of eligibility

Agreed

He cannot catch. I’m for his bat, and I said maybe 1st.. but not catcher
