re: Our Natural Recruiting "Footprint"?

We will always be focused on Louisiana kids first. Before you say “ well duh” -understand that our most productive players have always been homegrown talent and we’ve often had staffs that squandered resources chasing kids who turned out to be less productive than kids in state. East Texas would be next and that goes back to at least the 1970s. Mississippi kids rarely work out and the resources spent there rarely are worth it. Florida has been good to us. Georgia has been good to us. The Mobile area. That’s pretty much it with cherry picking guys through connections randomly from wherever. A kid from Tennessee and the Carolinas here and there.
