Well have you seen the athletic facilities at the public schools in lafayette? Way behind the rest of the state. Waaay behind. Its an embarrassment. You could say that they lack these facilities to make the academic side of the schools better, but you can't say that either. The roads suck. As a matter of fact, this makes me wonder where exactly my taxes are going. But that's an entirely different issue all together. Often times when Lafayette does get a big time recruit though he goes to LSU. I can't remember the last time LSU wanted a kid from here and he went elsewhere. Can't say that about most places, even Baton Rouge.

Most logical explanation I've seen.

African Americans might make up a higher percentage of the population in other parts of the state, but there are enough in Lafayette (and Acadiana as a whole, which doesn't produce much football talent either) to where there should be a few LSU-caliber prospects every year (or at least every couple of years). LSU will just have to be happy with getting stellar baseball prospects out of the 337 until something changes.

STM, Teurlings, and Notre Dame need to step up their recruitment efforts

Another good point.
