What is it about that area that produces almost no talent? I'm from there too so not hating on the place.
Poorly coached teams, it's hard for many of the athletes to look good playing, or just to get a coach to come look at you period because coaches think there's not much talent there when you see a 2-8, 3-7 team. Plus, many from Tbonne/Lafourche that are talented enough to play at the next level end up not making the grades.
Also, many of the better athletes in the bayou area are playing Baseball/Basketball not Football. Look at the amount of college baseball players from the bayou and how good the area has been at basketball.
** Once more thing I want to add. I notice that almost no kids from the area go to camps. I think that hurts a ton too.

I disagree on the poorly coached teams aspect. They have had some good coaches in the area recently. Now I'm not to sure about Lafourche schools, but I feel Terrebonne parish's problem is wayyyyy too many high schools. 7 high schools for a population of right over 100,000 is ridiculous. Turns into watered down football teams.
However, I do agree with your statement about some of the athletes concentrating on other sports. Baseball & Basketball has been very strong in the bayou area recently. But that takes away some of the "football" athletes off of the football field.
