His speed is just incredible. As far as I m concerned, the best place for him is in the dugout. <br>Not bad for a player who was upset with his fastest recorded time in the 60-yard dash. When asked if disappointed with his 6.52 time prior to the season, Morris responded,  Oh yeah, I wanted six-four real bad. <br>Morris, an All-Southern conference selection in 1999 who has picked up a league-leading 39 stolen bases through the first 28 games of 2000, points to both his head coach and teammates for motivation.  We look at how hard Coach Jordan works for us, Morris said.  And that makes us work hard. Your teammates really push you. You compete against yourself and against the numbers, but everyone cheers on everyone. Morris adds,  Also, the coaches say things like,  I think [North Carolina outfielder] Tyrell Godwin s faster than you, and stuff like that to get me going. <br>Stuart Jordan, at 6 2 and 220 pounds, is the most imposing figure of the threesome and batted .305 with 15 doubles and 35 RBI s a season ago. In addition to his left-handed power to all fields at the plate, this Marietta, Georgian has shown his versatility by switching from left field to right field in preparation for the 2000 campaign.<br> Last year, Stuart made a very smooth transition to play left field after serving as our designated hitter in 1998, Fred Jordan said.  This year, we asked him to move to right field and he has successfully done that. Stuart is a very good athlete and has become one of the top run-throw- and hit guys in our conference. <br>Jordan credits his choice of diet for his peak physical condition. He stays away from fast and fried foods as well as carbonated water. The Waffle House is a popular stop for breakfast, where he typically orders six egg whites, two chicken breasts, steamed hash browns and dry wheat toast.  I get some funny looks from the cooks when they get my order, says Jordan.  They peak around the corner like,  Who ordered that?! Jordan also favors snacks of cans of tuna (about three a day) and protein supplement shakes. As for superstitions, Jordan puts in the same one- hour lifting session prior to every game.<br>Hitting two slots behind Morris in the number three position, Jordan is off to a .317 start with eight stolen bases. Earlier this year, he had a 19-game hitting streak, the sixth-longest in school history. <br>As for the class work, all three Bulldogs earned spots on the Athletic Director s Honor Roll with semester grade point averages of 3.0 or better with Morris leading the way with a 3.813 average.<br>Eligibility-wise, all three are juniors and scheduled to graduate on time. For red-shirts Byrd and Jordan, graduation is this spring. However, both are looking forward to returning for their final year of eligibility. The Bulldog staff is looking forward to it also.<br> Having three returning starters in the outfield this year has been tremendous for us, says Coach Jordan.  Having three, three-year starters out there next year is something I don t think we ve ever had here and I can t wait to see it. <br><br>__________<br><br><br>STAT CHART<br><b$q }>HQ-o c>Hq-IFC    $ &%# #"(-90(*6+"#2D26;=@@@&0FKE>J9?@=C  =)#)==================================================)" }!1AQa"q2#BR$3br %&'()*456789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz w!1AQaq"2B #3Rbr $4%&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz ?qJ$5}ц >="f< Dñoq`$XP#7X0oQSMpV&`vPLc&+],|?KY$6 ܷBA7Qe 5)ʱwS
