LSU’s tough, high-motor Baton Rouge forward with proven program familiarity
In the 2016-17 season, Brian Bridgewater was a veteran LSU forward whose value came from size, effort, and local-guy toughness more than box-score flash; LSU listed him at 6-foot-5 and 282 pounds, and earlier team notes said injuries had limited his playing time, which makes his steady, team-first presence stand out. He posted a 16-point career high against McNeese in the 2014-15 season, so the fit here is a physical role player who understands the program and can bring energy, rebounding, and depth rather than star-level production.
