Yep. I guess I need to specify I meant more recent SEC level or elite talent. I went to Curtis in the 80s, and although they were winning state championships left and right, I can only remember one elite level player there during my time. Michael Stonebreaker...went to ND and eventually the Bears. Kurt Russell was also very good, but wound up at Houston after recovering from the stabbing at Melia's bar (with Stonebreaker). Reggie Dupard was before my time...early 80s.
I believe there was an RB that went to Michigan in the early 90s from Curtis, but as you pointed out, here lately, they're loaded with major D-1 talent, if not elite. Guys like Gordon and Riley aren't elite, but they're SEC level talent.

I think you'd be surprised. I felt like Gordon, even being in Tommys weight room, still had a ton of room to grow as an athlete when he left Curtis. I thought he still had a ton of upside which is why LSU wanted him. And don't be quick to say Duke wasn't elite. The kid was ridiculously fast for his size, hit like a truck, and most importantly never backed down from competition. He made guys around him better because he did so much work.

Dutchtown high has got to be top notch. Not only produced two first rounders in last NFL draft. Lacy and Reid (no high school ever has had two players from same team go in NFL 1st round in same year WOW)..also produced state of Louisiana's overall number 1 prospect 2 years ago...S Landon Collins(bama). And for '14 class wr corey McBride and rb Torrance Mosley have hopped on with the razorbacks.
